Maybe If We Were High, It Would Have Been More Fun?

Anyone looking a that picture has GOT to understand I was in a REALLY good mood yesterday........before showing up. I guess I just wanted to be a nice mom (don't we all?) and let the kids hang out at Chucky Cheese for 3 hours. 2 large knocked over pops, a panic attack from a missing boy, and 2 babies peed through pants later I was ready to kill myself for making such a bad split second decision. But hey! The kids were happy and that's all that matters right?? We wanted the kids to have one fun day with Daddy before he left on a business trip to Oklahoma. (He left me this morning for 3 days! Eek!) But I can say that even though the kids had me frazzled in Chucky Cheese, it was nice to run into Chrystal (a friend from Babycenter) Who would have guessed out of a city of over 350,000 people I would just bump into her there?! Talk about strange! We are going to take our total of 7 kids next Saturday to Exploration Place, a kid's museum. It's a much safer enviroment for parents too.

I was so exhausted from Chucky Cheese that I didn't get much else done in terms of shopping yesterday. I went to Sam's Club and spent $212 and World Market where I spent $40 for Gnocchi, Rosemary Grissini, and syrups for my Bellini Tea I am highly addicted too. I also bought some Veggie Chips, a platter of fortune cookies for the kids, and some Pita chips. Not much for $40!

Saturday was the last of our soccer season and I am so happy for that! We have too much going on right now. The kids are excited that I have said they can play in the Spring though. After the games we took the kids to a Spook Walk our Girl Scout Council was putting on at the campground. 4 of our troop girls showed so the kids had a blast together. It was fun but busy and us parents were ready to get out of there after 4 hours of kiddie mayhem plus we had to drive 30 minutes back home. Below are some pics from that. Sack races and Damien bowling.

The kids did the "pumpkin walk" for like 30 minutes. It was the highlight of their day! lol

I thought Alex looked hilarious in those huge glasses. They were giving out old McDonald's toys. I'm guessing the American Idol promo didn't go so well there. lolCheetos!
