March 10 Photo: Loud



Photo of the day: Loud! Well - what do you expect with a 6 year old and an 8 year old all hopped up on SUGAR!

 Saturday fell somewhere in between Bowen's birthday and Ashton's birthday. (My cousin's boys) I've missed having them as neighbours since they moved across the city and so it seemed like a good idea to have them both over for a movie party to celebrate. I had a wide selection of movies to pick from - half were mine and half were from the public library. After reviewing all the choices (and it was looking like a difficult decision when every choice was a strong YES!!) it settled out quite easily on two favourites - Jumanji and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We had a bit of lunch first - had to put some healthier food into them before all the treats and then moved into the "cinema" to dish up at the concession table and settle in for the movies.

An early mishap (my fault!) with rootbeer on the sofa was not so bad since I had covered it with a sheet (and caught most of the rootbeer in my lap!) They were basically bouncy throughout both shows - but it was fun and since we had all seen both movies, it was more of an ongoing commentary on the plot and frequent breaks to sample different items from the table.

The party ended with some heart rate raising Oompa Loompa dances and the singing of Happy Birthday with our "party" Oreos.  I was happy to send home as many of the leftovers as I could with them. I doubt they wanted any dinner - sorry for sending them back home in that state but we had a GREAT time together! Love these boys! Enjoy the rest of the pictures!

Welcome to the cinema - treats and movies all afternoon!



The movie "Concession table"!

Love this one! The little Korean 'yogurt' drinks are a MUST when we get together!

All smiles!

Ready to learn the Oompa Loompa dances!

No cake - Birthday oreos instead! (I don't even think they ate them!)

A little too much sugar, do you think? And I sent all the leftovers home with them as well. Sorry cuz!
