Family Night!

We were going to head to the ocean this weekend to check out some sand sculptures. Instead we decided to save some money and just stick around here at home. We are getting family pictures taken next weekend (which I'm so excited about!) so it just worked better with the budget to lay low. So we dubbed Saturday afternoon/evening family time. Usually we do family night and snuggle up with a movie after the day....but we decided to start early today. After spending a gorgeous afternoon outside playing with the neighbors (Todays weather was amazing!!! a lil warm in the sun, but in the shade with the nice breeze and not feeling so humid...it was great!) We headed in side to "hunker" down around 3:30. We cleaned up our grubs...aka...kids, and had dinner a little early. We ... ok I, decided fried chicken sounded so good. So Ryan headed out to grab us some healthy southern fried chicken while I got the kids cleaned up. We tried some Bojangles chicken tonight. It was our first time...we enjoyed it. It's a lil spicy, but good, and the fake mashed potatoes, YummY! ;) I was looking forward to gravy too, until I opened it and remembered...oh yeah, we are in the south, it's white! Call me a traditional northern girl... but I love my brown gravy. Oh well, it was still good.

The kids then worked off their dinner by tackling daddy while I cleaned up the chicken. After a good family wrestling match I figured it was time to set up the Ice Cream Sundae Bar. Bryn and I stocked up on some good toppings the other day while we were out, and today was the perfect time to pile them all on! 

Missa was very focused! While everyone else had a huge messy concoction...she had everything perfectly placed on her pretty lil sundae!

I think it's safe to say the sundaes were a success and also very delicious...maybe a lil' messy, but so worth it! 

Finally, movie time! Bellies fully of fattening goodness ;) and everyone clean and snuggly...We watched Inspector Gadget 2. In my opinion, the fried chicken and ice cream sundaes were much better than the movie....but the kids liked it, so that's what counts!
