Cute moments...

Tonight we took the kids to see "Night At The Museum." Ten seconds into it Jenna fell asleep. I sat there thinking what a waste to pay all that money just to have her sleep through it and me kill my back holding her (she is 35 pounds!). I decided to leave with her and get our money back while Brent stayed with the other 2--I know, cheap, but that was $15!! Of course, as soon as I got out to the car she woke up and was now delirious and VERY mad. I decided to take her back in the mall and just walk around while we waited.

The first store we walked into was a Claires Boutique. Jenna saw the earrings, bracelets and necklaces and was in HEAVEN. This little lady is OBSESSED with jewelery--she always has been. Last Sunday I changed my earrings for the first time in....forever, and she noticed within 5 minutes. For weeks now she has been asking me if she could get her ears pierced--she's not even 3 yet! How can she have such a strong opinion for things like this so young? I kept telling her it hurt a like a shot, but she didn't care, she knew she wanted earrings. Well, I figured we had saved at least half the price of the earrings by not going to the movie...and we did have all this time to burn...so today was her day! She did SO GOOD and didn't even cry. She also got to pick out a bracelet for being so brave. Here she is with her sparkly earrings, a wrist of pearls and diamonds (they came in a 3 pack) and an ice cream cone to boot.
I found the cutest note from Gavin this week. I swear this kid has the biggest heart!...too bad I was snappin at him while he was writing it...he was supposed to be practicing writing sentences and he kept asking me how to spell words and I kept saying, "S-O-U-N-D S-P-E-L-L! I know you can do this ONE thing on your own!" I love this kid. Kesley's ballet company is doing "Cinderella" this Saturday. (if anyone wants to go let me know and I will get you tickets) Kesley's class is only in one dance. She is a jeweler--which I'm not sure exactly how it fits into the story, but she looks cute! Since I can't record the actual performance, I tried to record the rehearsal--the girls were so stage shocked that they spent most of their 2 minutes staring at the big girl ballerinas. I guess that is what the rehearsal is for! They also made them all go into a circle which disappointed me because then I couldn't see her face. Who cares if she doesn't actually dance--I want to see her stand on stage and smile! Here is a video of the dance--it's taken from my camera, so it's not the best quality.
