School's In, But Not For Us

Chuck E. Cheese when it's empty, is on the top of my summer list. The kids like the games, I secretly wish I could use all the tokens myself too, the pizza is yummy, the prizes are fun. It makes it a good place in my book. All the public schools started back up, so we had the place almost to ourselves, which was nice. I always make the kids eat first, and then they can spend their tokens.

Luckily I had a few dollar bills on me, so they could pick an ice cream for a treat on the way home. They crack me up when they pick these Weight Watcher ice creams, but they love them!

Hanging With John

Mary invited us to hang out with her and John today. I had to take Katie to school, but then I met up with her. We took Emma and John to the pet store to look at the animals, and then headed to Party City next door. The kids picked out balloons and a water bottle to take to the park with us. Mary had packed bread and the kids fed the ducks, but the wild geese always come out on full force and scare us away, this time was no exception lol. The playground was fun though, and the kids had a good time. After we lost all the balloons to trees and sneaky kids, we left the park and went to Chuck E. Cheese for an hour before I had to pick up Katie from school. Emma likes John, she had a fun day with him. It's good for them to play and get to know each other.

Emma Jean's Chuck E. Cheese Party

Laura invited me to her daughter's 4th birthday, at Chuck E. Cheese. It was a small party this year, she only invited a few people. She ordered pizza and gave tokens to the kids and they went to go play. My kids had fun =)

Emma At Chucks

Laura and her girls joined me and my girls for a playdate at Chuck E. Cheese. Emma couldn't do much, but I thought she'd like some of the small rides there. I was a little bit...wrong. Haha. She hated that swing, so I mostly just carried her around and we watched Katie play games and win tickets.

Chuck came out and we got the kids to take a picture with him, except it's really hard to get all the kids to look at the camera, so, I took what I could get and called it a day :p

Katie always picks a lollipop with her winnings, she is too cute. Love this girl.

Emma Jean's Birthday Party

Laura threw Emma Jean a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese to celebrate her 3rd birthday. It was the first of the month, and the first Saturday of the month, so BOY, was it crowded!! But Katie seemed to enjoy herself, and so did the birthday girl! Only the parents seemed to be going cross-eyed at how many people were there, haha.

 I love my daughters so much! I hope they're always friends.

The New Chuck

Have you seen the new Chuck E. Cheese mouse? So funny. I guess they wanted him to be thinner? Anyway, I wanted to take Katie somewhere since she's on Thanksgiving break and all, and Ashleigh agreed to go to Chucks with us after she got off work =)

Simple, but it got Katie out of the house and she had fun =)

Chucks Day

David and Katie met me at Chuck E. Cheese after I got out of work =) Again, love getting out early! David dressed her, so don't look at me this time. Well, truly she probably dressed herself. She sure has her own style lately. I try to go with it.

I sure love having more time for my family now. Awesome.

Bringing In The New Year With Chuck

Katie and David brought the new year in with a trip to Chuck E. Cheese!

Chucks Is Better With A Friend

For Jaren's birthday, Rachel and I took Katie and Jaren to Chuck E. Cheese after work. They were so funny. When we got there, they started rocking out while waiting for the pizza to cook.

 Then they moved on to slow dancing, Jaren even spun her around, it was too cute.

 "Mom, I ate all my pizza, can I go play now?"

 These kids are so cute and funny.

 Their prizes. Poor kids don't play enough games that give tickets, so they can never get much at the end, lol.

Super fun day though! Thanks for inviting us Rachel! Katie had a blast!

Chucks, Winnie, and a Balloon

The new Winnie the Pooh movie is out! Katie is ready with her shirt and Winnie cup. But first, lets go have lunch at Chuck E. Cheese until it starts.

Time for the movie!

I thought it was pretty cute. The adults were in the Winnie mood, and we were thinking, we should take the kids to Party City to get red balloons, just like Pooh had!

The kids had other ideas though. Pink is cool, too, I guess...

Summer days are awesome.
