Family Friendly Movie Theaters?

I know they exist!  I just can't find one.  

I know I read about one in MN a while back.  But yesterday I called that same theater and they had no idea what I was talking about. 

It was called Mommy Monday I think.  

The lights are dim -not off.

The volume is much lower -not scary.

There are diaper changing tables in the back.

There are other families with babies.  Everybody is making noise so no one gets upset if your little one is babbling away!

Is anyone familiar with this?  I would love to do this!  I want to find one in Minnesota.  If you know of one, tell me about it!  Please!

A few things

to pray about.


1st. Stellan. He's in the hospital and he's just a little babe. Click this link to view his mom's blog and learn about his story.

My son is half monkey, half racoon!

He can't walk around on his own yet, but he climbs EVERYTHING!

The least stable and most dangerous things are his favorite.

Lately, he has been very interested in the garbage can. As much as I would love to see him tip it over and spread it all over the kitchen floor... it is just too gross.

How can I stop this from happening. I'm not a fan of having the garbage can on the kitchen counter, but what other solution is there?

Someone has to have some experience and good advise on this!

A Picture of Perfection

The Kitchen is Clean.
Finally!

I cannot believe that it took me two whole days. (Of course I wasn't at it straight -I have a 10 month old who requires a lot of attention! The reason the kitchen was in the shape that it was in the first place!) I wish I had kept a tally of the number of sink-loads of dishes I washed. Thinking back -I think it was between 15 and 20! In the picture it doesn't look like it could possibly have been that bad -but it really was.

I am envious of the dishwasher owners of the world. When we buy a house a dishwasher is going to be high on my "must have" list. A dishwasher will solve all of my clean-kitchen problems. ;)

But for now...

No one is allowed in the kitchen.

The mess.

Accountability.
Just for one day.

Every night this week I've thought "Tomorrow I'm going to clean the kitchen! Ryan is going to come home and be so surprised and happy!"

And then the next night I think the very same thing.

So today is the day. I took pics of the ferocious mess and I'm letting the world see (well, the 4 or 5 people who might log onto my blog) BUT! I will redeem myself later today with a picture of perfection.

You just wait and see.

Can you guess what Sully is eating?

We tested it.




He ate it.






He... liked it?






Well, it was worth a try.



But what a fun mess!

Not Me! Monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.


I did not lose my wallet. Actually I did not lose it a couple of weeks ago. This week I still did not find it. :(

I did not pull out Sully's newborn pictures and bug-bug-bug my husband about wanting another baby. Nope not me!

I did not let Sullivan spread 2 decks of playing cards, a deck of Uno cards, and some Apples to Apples cards all over the house. How messy~! Nope, not me!

I did not stay in the house all week (except for one desperate outing for a cup of coffee)! I'm always showered, ready for anything, and out and about.


What did you not do this week?

Sign up!

I just heard about free wireless amber alerts on the radio and signed up! You should too!

https://www.wirelessamberalerts.org/index.jsp


You enter up to five zip codes where you would like to be notified of an amber alert and your cell phone number. If there's an amber alert in your area, you're notified by text message. And since it's free, (everything is better free) why wouldn't you sign up!?

What a great way to be aware and come together when help is needed. Especially when it comes an abducted child.
