Having a rocking summer break so far!

Well since having the girls here we've been on the go go go all week and it's been great! Now I'm feeling this summer break thing and not looking forward to school starting yet ;)  We did free lunch and splashzone both Tues and Wed and then today the weather went :p ...... High of 71 and windy windy windy.  I didn't feel like braving the waterpark in that weather even though the kids really wanted to go. I made up my mind to go ahead and take them for the free lunch as it was pizza and I love not having to plan cook or clean lunch after 5 kids~!  Before going to lunch Daddy called to ask if I could bring him a couple sandwiches and chips, so I whipped him up a gourmet lunch and we headed out on the town.  Before I dropped his lunch off I figured I should probably get the DISH network receiver mailed off before I completely got forgot and got charged some out of this world price for it ;)  While at lunch I got a funny hair up my arse and decided I might want to attempt the Movie Theater with 5 kids........... I found out the free movie they were showing today was Megamind. Something I had not yet seen! The boys had seen it but Tate and Trin had not, so that sealed the deal.  Off to free movie Thursday at 1pm we were going.  We made a quick stop at Rite Aid to pick up my prescription and some candy to stash in my purse ;)  We also found a great deal of BOGO on swim goggles and picked up 6 pairs for $4.99 YAY :D  The kids were super stoked.  I have promised them a trip to splashzone tomorrow no matter what the weather is if their rooms are clean.......... I just hope that if it's real cold they get real whimpy and wanna go home LOL

The movie went very smoothly!  I grabbed a jumbo popcorn and large soda and we all shared that along with the "smuggled" candy. Thank goodness Steven loves me lots and got me a giant purse for Mothers Day from Avon ;)  As much as that purse did not seem like something I would like want or need when he handed it to me..... I am seriously growing more and more in love with it! Go Steven!  A few lollipops, licorice, popcorn and soda for a 1yr old will entertain her long enough to survive the movie :) Kai did exceedingly well for what he usually does out in public. Maybe there is hope that he's gonna settle down? He actuallly seemed to enjoy the movie and behave!  Made for a very pleasant afternoon. The older 3 were great and gave me no problems at all.

When we were at lunch today we were given a flyer for a puppet show tonight at the library. The kids all wanted to go so I decided we all would go! Lucky Steven :) He was off work and got to enjoy the puppet show and library time with me and the kids ;)  Actually he did enjoy it. He's such an awesome Dad and loves doing things with his kids whenever he gets the chance.  The place was packed so we didn't really get to watch the show, but the kids got to and they really enjoyed it. They also thought it was super cool that they each got to pick out a book to check out.  While they were in the show Steven and I followed Kinleigh around. Wow how different she is from the boys! She kept sitting on bean bags with a teddy bear she had found and was calling her "baby" and grabbing a book... opening it... close it.... onto the next book... sit down... repeat.  She is a bit on the loud side just like her big brothers but she is a bit calmer and easier to sidetrack away from naughtiness LOL
Puppet Show at the library. Can't see the kids cause they are  blocked by adults.

This is what day #2 of splashzone does to Pretty!  zonked!
