Discovery Museum

Thursday night, Jack and I took all of our kiddos to the Creative Discovery Museum in downtown Chattanooga.  They had a Free Family Night promotion, so all of us got in for FREE!  The kids absolutely had a blast and Hannah was begging me to promise that we would go back even before we pulled out of the parking lot.  After the museum, we took them to McDonalds for dinner.  Over all, a very kid-friendly day!  Here are some pictures of the kids enjoying the exhibits:

All the kids together (wait, minus Hunter) before we left:

I know they all had a great time!  This is definitely something that we will be doing again very soon!

Slumber Party

Last week, Jack asked if I would keep her kids Friday night so that she and Kenny could go to a B&B and get some couple time.  She owes me big time!  : )  Friday afternoon, Granny, Jack, Kenny, kiddos, Ann, Rachel, Penny, Ginger, Warren, Bella and I had lunch at Logan's.  After lunch, I took the kids home with me.  I was surprised at how good they all were.  I really, really enjoyed all of them being here together!!

After Jack came to pick up the kids, Chris and I went and bought our first new mattress set....I am so excited!!!  We should be picking it up this weekend and I CAN'T WAIT!!!  Funny how we "old" people get excited over things we once thought 'mundane'.  Pics of new mattress soon to come  : )

Snow Days

Friday the school called to let us know that they would be letting the kids out at 12 noon because of the impending weather.  I left a little early and arrived at the school at about 11:30 to pick all of the kiddos up.  By the time I dropped Ginger's kids off and headed home, this is what the road looked like (I was about to cross over the railroad tracks):

I do NOT like driving in the rain, much less snow!  Thankfully, we all got home okay. 

The schools also let out on Monday, so we took a trip to Walmart.  This is one of the things we came back with:

We immediately thought of the 1920s when we saw this and just had to get it!  Halle calls it her "flapper" dress (because we tell her that she looks like a flapper girl).  I really enjoyed having them home for a few days....made me realize how ready I am for summer!!
