Thelma and Louise

First of all, can we say slacker?!?  It's been forever since I posted!  Life has been so crazy but - no excuses. I promise to get better.  

We had such a fun day today.  We kicked it off with swimming lessons for Jack and Josh.  I have fallen in love with Saturday morning swim time.  It is so laid back.  We head out a little early to get Mom a nice hot coffee, head to swimming and then hit up Target or something of the sort before lunch.  We did in fact, hit up our beloved Target today but it was not any normal Target trip.  It was a Kindergarten prep trip.  We had our trusty list in hand and perused the Back to School isles for the [very] specific items listed.  I felt like a fish out of water and honestly, was a bit intimidated.  I don't get intimidated all that easily so the feeling was unfamiliar.  Anyway, we finally found everything we needed including a very cool new backpack.  I was so proud of our little Jack for actually picking one that WASN'T Spiderman.  Same coloring actually, but a much cooler red, black and white checkered number!  He was so sure that was the one as soon as he saw it - so cute!

$200 later we headed home for lunch and a nap.  Grandma was coming over later to watch little J so Corey and I could take the older J's to Cars 2.  They earned all their "Sleep Ferry" coupons this week so they got to pick an event of their choosing.  They debated between Cars 2 and Sea Life (to see the sharkies) but the movie ultimately won out.  Grandma arrived right at 3:00p and we had some time to kill before heading off to the theater so we decided to take the boys for their first spin in Grandmama's convertible.  We grabbed their little booster seats, threw them in the back and said hop in.  They looked at us like we had just eaten the head off a horse.  Jack said "really?  No, really, really?" Like Ashton Kutcher was going to jump out and say he was being punked.  We got all buckled in and took a leisurely spin around the neighborhood.  They loved everyone second and I'm pretty sure they felt like rock stars (and looked it, I might add!)

Off to the movie.  It might be a tad too early for Joshi and the movie thing.  He was pretty antsy from the get go so we knew it would be a long ride but he did pretty good.  Dad took him out to the game room at one point and then he and I headed to grab a few things from Cub while Dad and Jack finished the flick.  As we pulled into Cub, there was the sweetest old fella with a broken arm attempting to load all of his grocery's into the back of his car.  I pulled in next to him and Joshi and I proceeded to unload his cart for him.  He was so thankful and it just warmed my heart.  I feel it is so important for the boys to witness and partake in acts of kindness as often as possible and this was one of those moments.  

We picked Daddy and Jack up at the theater and made our way back home for some dinner.  Post dinner fun included an impromptu water gun fight and a unique game of throw the ball on the roof.  It was a great day and I have three little sleepers to show for it!  The Sleep Ferry will definitely be visiting our little sweethearts tonight.  xoxo
