Movie, Baby Shower, VW Swap, AWANA. . .

Beware. . .this one is a long one. . .

We began the weekend with a surprise (to all of us) trip to the movies! We never go to the movies, mainly because I think it's a waste of money to pay so much to see a movie a few weeks before it comes out ONDEMAND or DVD. The girls had been wanting to see Horton Hears a Who, so we were near the theatre, saw it was playing during the day (which is cheaper) so off we went, yes with all 3 kids. Of course it was fun, Lizzy decided 30 minutes in she was done with the movie and walked up and down the theatre stairs, eating popcorn off the floor and then yelling "Boop" because she pooped! The rest of us enjoyed the movie, it was a good kid movie.

Our good friends Matthew & Laura Hart are having their second baby in June and had a baby shower for baby #2 on Saturday in Winston-Salem! Emma went with me to the shower to hang out with Matthew & Laura's Lindsey (almost 5)! Jody was able to hang out with Matthew w/the other 2 girls while we were there, a small blow-up occurred but daddy was there to clean it all up! After the shower we went back to their house for dinner and to hang out for a little while and then back to our hotel! We stayed over night because Jody was planning on going to a Volkswagen show in Mocksville on Sunday.


We woke up Sunday and were surprised by a call from Jody's dad, Jeff, saying he was going to meet us at the VW show, Jody was really excited, Jeff is also a VW enthusiast! He lives in Tennessee, about 3 hours away from where the show was, we don't get to see him very much so it was a real treat for him to come! Jody was really happy to see him and hang out with him for the day! The girls were excited to see Papa J too! I do have to admit I had fun looking at all the VW's and even entertained the idea of driving a VW bus as my primary vehicle!


We ended the weekend with our AWANA awards program Sunday night! Emma is so excited because she moves up from Cubbies next year, which she has been in for 2 years now! She has already started calling herself a "Sparkie" and asked me the other day if she could go ahead and get her book now. Anna is excited because she will actually be in AWANA instead of Nursery (although she thinks this is the name of her AWANA class already). She was dissapointed because she thought she was going to be in Cubbies next year, because the school system here is changing the cut-off date for school she is not going to be able to :-( She was unhappy for about 30 seconds until we told her she was going to be in Puggles (AWANA for 2 & 3 year olds) instead! Lizzy will still be in nursery because she misses the Puggles cutoff by 3 days! Oh well, at least Anna & Lizzy aren't in the same class!!! Below is a picture of my 2 brothers, sister-in-law (my niece inutero), my dad and Jody's mom, my mom was sick and wasn't able to come :-( after the AWANA awards ceremony!
