FHE ACTIVITY: 'Where The Wild Things Are' :D

Yesterday we got up bright & early & did some cleaning around the house. We had planned a full day of activities w/the kids since it was a MONDAY (FHE) & they're off track right now so we were tons EXCITED!! :D We started out our day w/the cleaning, then decided that instead of driving 2 the District, we'd walk since it was so GORGEOUS out. You'd think we'd just walk there all the time since it's so close. Lol. But the weather had 2 do the persuading!! :D Anyways, it took us a WHOLE 5 minutes 2 get there. We purchased our tickets 4 the 1:20 showing. I now know the secret 2 taking kids 2 watch movies in an actual theater & I'm happy 2 share this secret w/you all. Lol. Are you ready?? Catch a matinee on a weekday & you'll, literally, be the only ones in the theater w/your kids so they can go as crazy as they want. You almost feel SPECIAL like you rented the theater out 4 just your little family cause there's no one else in there. :D We watched 'Where The Wild Things Are' & it was HILLARIOUS!! We enjoyed every minute of it. Our kids are growing up so fast & it's AMAZING 2 be able 2 notice things that seem so little, but I know that make such a BIG difference in their lives as well as my own. :D I found myself crackin' up w/the kids on different parts of the movie & then also looking over 2 my husband 2 see if he caught a certain part & he's looking over @ me @ the same time & we're both DYING laughing. :D Such GREAT memories that I will cherish 4ever & hope that my older kids will also remember. :D Life seems so scary these days w/all that's available @ the touch of a button. Our kids are definitely growing in a different day in age then when I was their age. And it was the same 4 when I was growing up in comparison 2 my parents' time. I love looking back & seeing how much mankind has come & I'm grateful 4 being able 2 see Heavenly Father's hand in every detail of it. Down 2 the very simplest, smallest thing. It keeps me SPEECHLESS. Anyways, I always get totally side-tracked. Lol.

After the movie we were all starving so we walked across the street 2 Red Robin & got some food. :D It was DELISH, but dessert was even BETTER!! :D After we ate, we headed out 4 our walk home. I can't believe how GORGEOUS the weather is right now. I love it so much!! :D We have definitely been out enjoying all the GREAT weather that we're able 2 enjoy here. :D Last week we were TUBING. This week we're taking little field trips & walking 2 get there. :D It's GREAT!! :D We came home & took a 2 hr break so that I could get some work done. Then we headed out the door 2 the rec 4 some raquet ball. We were all so EXCITED cause it was a 1st for all of us except Hoko. And he's only played it once when he was in jr high. Lol. We were a little bummed cause it was closed when we got there so we brought the kids home & Hoko & I headed back there 4 a GREAT workout. :D All in all. . . .yesterday's FHE activity day was filled w/GREAT fun & a lot of laughs!! Can't wait 4 'Where The Wild Things Are' 2 come out on dvd. Here's some pics that we seem 2 always go crazy on. . . . Enjoy. . . :D
