I have found the secret to taking a picture and getting multiple children to smile in it. Wish I would have figured it out sooner, as we have struggled with family shots (Christmas card pics, etc) for years. Basically you set the kids up, hold the camera steady and cross your eyes. It works, it seriously works and it works every time. This picture of the boys and Alice is cool, but looks to me like conjoined quadruplets.

On Wednesday we went to Chuck E. Cheese with Nana. Suprisingly it was a good place for the boys to be. There weren’t too many people there and they got to run around and play and actually have some freedom. We’ve found a new career track for Carlos. He wants to be a jockey…he was the only one of the boys who could actually ride this horse ride and he was good at it and didn’t want to get off. We’ll see, he’ll have the right build, be athletic and he’s certainly competitive. Trey liked Whack-A-Mole and Levi found a little girlfriend and convinced her to play some air hockey with him. All in all, they had a great time. We had some tokens left so I took the boys yesterday to play. The pizza was SO nasty the first time (even Trey wouldn’t eat it and that’s saying a lot) so we ate before we went and the boys just played. Now, if we could only get Dee to come with us sometime…..

Happy weekend! We get date night tonight while the boys go to Nana/Papa’s for dinner and to watch Ratatouille. It’s cute, my dad is so excited about it that he’s going down to the movie theater to get “real” popcorn for them. They are going to have fun, they loved the movie in the theater and have been waiting patiently to see it on DVD. Don’t know what Dee and I will do, probably dinner and a movie. Any suggestions? Hate to pay for a stinker movie when we don’t get out often.
