keeping busy

I just got a new series to read this last week. I am sure a lot of you have heard about Divergent. There will be a movie based on the book coming out soon! I figured I liked The Hunger Games, Obsessed,  and The Uglies and The Pretties enough that I would like Divergent just as much. I won't go into any details about the book especially if you are wanting to read it, but I was able to finish the first book this last Saturday. It took me about 6 hours to read, and Phil was such a good sport that he would tend to the kids when they needed something so I could get through my book. I have 2 more to go. Emmett kept insisting that the book was his and he would come up to me occasionally and tell me, "no more words". I think he got tired of me reading and not paying him any attention. 



I also signed up for abcmouse.com. Sullivan and Emmett have been enjoying it these last several days we have had it. I am really hoping it will help Sullivan be better prepared and not so behind when he begins kindergarten for the second time this fall. I am always amazed at how kids are like sponges when it comes to learning! 


And here is a random video of the kids playing and having some fun. :)

Toca Boca

I am pretty sure I have posted about Toca Boca before... But we just bought a new version of the hairstyle Toca Boca game. You get to take a picture of someone first and then style their hair. Here is an example. Doesn't Phil look great? :) Hahahahahahaha!

Lego Movie

Everything is AWESOME!!!
On Valentines Day Phil and I took the kids to go see The Lego Movie. And it was AWESOME! Well, more for Phil and the kids than me. I got to hold a sleeping Emmett during the entire flick. When we got back into the car to head home Emmett asked if we could go to the theatre and watch Lego Emmet. 
Even though he missed out on a fun movie he was able to get some fun pics on the way out of the theatre. :) Emmett is silly! 



Happy Late Valentines Day


For Valentines Day this year Phil finally got me a diamond necklace! I have to admit, the kids were a lot more excited about this diamond than I was. Sullivan wanted to know if it really was a real diamond! Drezden and Emmett both wanted to wear it for a bit, and they did. 
Minecraft fans- you will really appreciate this gift!
