What a nice evening! Timmy stayed home with the kids while Jen and I went to a movie. We saw Baby Mama and it was very cute. She was so sweet to pack little treat bags so we didn't have to buy $5 popcorn.

I'm getting really excited about our upcoming vacation to California! We leave in about 3 weeks and I can't wait! San Diego first, then on to Fresno. I just bought my spray tan today so I can lose the farmer tan. Traveling with the kids will be interesting but I'll have lots of little surprises to keep them busy!

Meanwhile, it has really been a challenge lately to keep the kids occupied all day here at home. I love being outside but not when it's 100 degrees. I don't even mind the heat that much but the kids just can't handle it. Poor Alex gets so red-faced and hot. So we've just played countless games of hide-and-go-seek, Candyland, Chutes and Ladders and so on. Ava also likes to hide all her dolls/animals and then have me look for them. The other day she was hiding them and then looking for them herself! Did I mention that we are ready for a vacation? Poor girl! We do have a few fun things planned this week to break to monotony. Tomorrow, we are going to the Science Place in Dallas. They have a hands on children's area that I know the kids will love. Then on Friday we are going to a water park with Jen and her group. That will be a great start to the weekend!

I hope everyone is having a great week! Goodnight!
