Eating out

So, I'ma dmitting it here. We did go to Denny's for the Free Grand Slam. I LOVE Denny's breakfast. Although after this last round I felt so sick I might not ever need to go back! We actually got a raincheck because the line was so long and went back as a family on Friday night for pancakes and sausage for dinner.
Also who can resist two cute kids enjoying a hamburger? This picture is blog-worthy and this seems as good a place as any to post it.
See how your life changes when you have kids? You stick to "family eateries" equals not always impressive cuisine!

Wild hair....

Yes, Micah's hair is getting long enough that we can almost braid it. A mom at school asked me the other day who Micah's hairdresser is... very funny. That's the point, he hasn't had a haircut in a LONG time!
Here's another Scott special- mohawks! So fun to try and wash out! it only took 3 days to get it all gone :)
Yes, that's an entire cup of yogurt on Lauren's head. Her friend tripped while eating and this was the unfortunate yet delicious outcome. lemon yogurt is her FAVORITE!

5 years old!!!

Well, we have a 5 year old. Can you believe it? I can't! Micah turned 5 last Thursday and we had a 3 day long celebration. Thursday started out with a special birthday breakfast and the anticipation of the mound of gifts. We had a fun dinner at Chuck E. Cheese by the birthday boy's request complete with pizza and games, lemon cake for dessert and a present extravaganza. Friday was his celebration at school where he chose birthday hugs instead of birthday spankings (tough choice) and had cookie lollipops with his friends. I witnessed him choose 3 longs hugs from cute girls in his class... hmmmm...Saturday was the big bash- 10 guests, our kids, a few siblings, it was a HOUSEFUL! We had a Super Hero Training Camp complete with capes, masks, missions, awards, certificates.... It was very very fun! The favorites might have been the pizza lunch, cupcakes and bomb pinata. I think I'm finally recovering! Here are a few pictures of the events.
Happy Birthday to the GREATEST BOY EVER!

Bowl-O-Rama

We took the kids bowling for the first time the other day. We've been bowling a lot on the Wii and Micah was curious to see how his skills would transfer. He's not too bad! Lauren got in on the action too. Her feet were too small for bowling shoes (she was a little disappointed) but she did find a ball she could lift. All and all more scored out at the biggest winner with a 148 (well, we did have bumpers so that's probably not a REAL score) and we even had a fun lunch at a strange hamburger stand that also has gourmet pies and giant breakfasts... go figure.
