Weekend...week...weekend...wow life is busy!!!!

Tim has always said when the kids all move out he was getting a big screen TV!!! Well he finally got his wish....I'm sure it was only weeks before our 20 something old TV gave out. TJ and Hollie came over to help him out.Putting it where he wants it and thinking I should have looked for an entertainment center also ;o)
Needed to move it for something....

Hooking everything up....Hollie is jump roping I think....I can't remember ;o)

TJ trying to get Kollie to come into the box with him....what a dope...no Kollie didn't fall for it!

Turning it on for the first time....

Kollie close up!!!

Our headless dog Daisy!!

Tim doing something....

Yahoo finally time for the surprise from the fair....line up and close your eyes

I'm not sure but I think I see someone peeking....

Wow bubble guns...don't they look excited....

Well they light up really good....except for the one we needed to change the batts in...but where are the bubbles??

I'm not sure how in the mayhem that followed I didn't get any pictures...but let me tell you the kids had tons of fun with them....but they did leave a big mess on the floor....sorry!!!

Here The III and Tatem walked us out to our car and started a bubble gun fight in the yard...

Then they stumbled onto something they thought was fun....shooting my car....

They filled it with bubbles all the way around!

Ok one more shot for the camera....

During the week...I had to go to the games to watch my cheerleaders....here they are...with a few South fans

Then my great niece Brooke came over to South to play Volley ball for Fairmont so of course I had to get some pictures of her...

Yep her team won ;O) Good job Brooke!!!

On Saturday The Spratts wanted to take us to Harry Potter....Daddy was hunting...

Arriving

I'm so excited!!! Not really this is the Spoon I was talking about....

Grandpa are you excited...I've been up since 7:30 I couldn't wait ;o)

Getting ready to go in...

This looks like a fun place to take a picture..

Picture by the Harry Potter poster...

Terriebeth and grandpa with all the goodies...I couldn't wait for Movie theater popcorn ;o), Mine was gone before the movie even started ;o)

Getting settled in....lots of room when we got there....

The III

Tim what is wrong with this camera??? Yeah I got in trouble for this one ;o)

Tatem Rae ;O)

Just to prove we were really there watching Harry Potter...

Mom you're going to get in trouble....what I didn't even have my flash on???

I didn't get an end of the movie picture...I forgot...they had to go home because daddy came back early....so Caleb had to try our surprise all by himself...well I got mom and dad in on it too.

Up close read the bag....ha,ha,ha ....nope I didn't tell them!!!

Take a bite Caleb..

The end result.....Ha,ha,ha!!!

These are just a few of the many things we've been doing for the past week ....no wonder we are so tired!!! But we are having tons of fun!!!

Aunt Tabitha takes Caleb and Ethan to the Zoo!!

First we started out with lunch at Chili's. The boys could barely contain their excitement.

They were too excited to actually eat-all I managed to get down them was milkshakes.

Here are the boys taking a picture with the bald eagle in the background.

These are the "wicked cool" giraffes that they stood and stared at for a long time.

And of course we had to take a picture with the giraffes in the background.

Then we had to take pictures in front of the elephant statues.

I was trying to explain to them the native habitats of the animals they were seeing but they just wanted to take their picture by the map of Africa.

Caleb HAD to take his picture next to the green frog (even though it is a recycling bin).

Ethan saw a spider right before his picture and would NOT move any closer.

We spent forever taking pictures by all of the penguin statues.

This quickly turned into a game of "where did Caleb/Ethan go?" and they would jump out and "scare" me.

Taking a picture in front of the llamas (which somehow turned out to be Ethan's favorite).

The sign in front of the tiger says "no climbing on tiger." It took me a loooong time to convince Ethan that is what it said and that he couldn't climb up on it.

Notice Ethan's face-he is totally uncomfortable. I couldn't convince him that there was no way the tigers could get to him. I could barely get him to turn his back to them long enough for a picture.

There were these tunnels where the boys could pretend to be ground hogs. And yes, I got roped into crawling around in there with them.

Here is the gigantic giraffe slide.
