My Little Jumping Beans...

Friday night we went to Big A and D's school for Movie Night. "Kung Fu Panda" was playing. The kids had a great time watching the movie. It was a really cute movie. The panda reminds me of Little A--she'll do anything for food!!!

Today Little A had a birthday party to go to. Of course Big A and D got to crash the party, as I had no babysitter. They certainly didn't mind-- the party was a The Little Jumping Bean (one of those indoor bouncing playgrounds). The big kids had a great time, but Little A spent most of the party pitching fits about one thing or another... She cried most of the time. I'm still not sure what her problem was-- tired, I guess. After the party, we met my friend, Annie, for a late lunch. The kids sort of behaved in the restaurant, but they were still pretty loud. Annie has no children, and I could tell that the chaos was a little much for her... I spent most of lunch getting more juice, getting more salsa, taking kids to the "potty", etc. So there wasn't much conversation. No wonder no one asks me out to coffee or lunch very often...

All in all it was a good day... Especially because I got a nice long nap in after we got home from lunch. I got nothing accomplished around the house, but I got some good rest-- something that I really need every now and then...

Later in the evening, Big A performed a Chemistry Experiment. One of her many career choices is "chemist"... Little A and D were allowed to participate in her experiment as well-- but only in a limited capacity. Big A made it quite clear to them that this was her chemistry set and she was the "scientist". My job was to read the directions and take the photos...
