I love when my mom calls me up and asks if she can have the kids for a few nights. Immediate response is always "YES PLEASE". It would be awesome if she took Amaya too but beggers can't be choosers.
For this little reprieve, spur of the moment we decided to go to the movies to see The Bourne Legacy. The movie theater by us has matinee Tuesday. All day all the movies are only $7. Perfect date night.
The movie was kinda long, took a long time to develop and was kinda disappointing based on the past Bourne movies. After 2 plus hours we walked out of the theater...into the pouring rain. We decided to make a run for the car and I got a muscle spasm in the middle of running. Get to the car and the door is locked. Get in the car and had a good laugh. At this point it has already stopped raining, lol.
It's the little things in life that make me smile. Like knowing u don't have to come home to as many kids and sitting in a car laughing at silly things with my husband. I don't even care that the movie kinda sucked.

Beach adventure
This past Saturday I took Kayla to a birthday party at the town beach club for one of her classmates. It was supposed to be 100 degrees but never really felt that hot. About 2 hours into the party the sky got cloudy and it started to pour. Definite beach party ender.
They invited everyone back yesterday after work just for some pizza and fun since it was her actual birthday. This time I took Elyse as well.
It was really nice because I haven't really socialized much with the parents in her Kayla's class and I'll be seeing these same parents until 5th grade because she's in the dual language program. We ended up staying way after the sun set and the gates were locked. Beach club members have a key to the gate but they forgot theirs. The kids were fully ready to spend the night on the beach but we all squeezed through the gates to freedom. The kids thought it was a hilarious adventure.

Amaya's Butterfly Birthday
Butterfly made from Amaya's footprints and poster paint |
Party favors-mini terracotta pots with wildflower seeds and dirt to make your own butterfly garden. Hand cut butterfly decoration with Easter colored sixlet bodies, and butterfly pinata |
My cute butterfly cupcakes. Super easy to make. I combined a bunch of ideas I found online and on Pintrest. The cupcakes were boxed cupcakes but I made the buttercream frosting from scratch. Ideas from here http://thepersingers.blogspot.com/2011/04/butterfly-cupcakes.html and here http://www.quixoticpixels.com/blog/2007/03/its-my-party/.
Now on to Elyse's princess party. Have a lot of fun ideas for this one too, can't wait to share!

EBay
I will be spending this evening putting this wonderful pile of unwanted and un-needed crap for sale on eBay. I hate how ling it takes to post stuff, I need to find a better system. At least I will have the DWTS finale to entertain me.
Mobility
Just realized there's a mobile app for Blogger. Probably should have realized that sooner...but it makes blogging so much easier :-)
