Movies with Drew

Over winter break, Drew and I watched Wednesday together. We had such a fun time together that I've started putting a list together of movies and shows we should watch together. Brent's been doing this for years with Trent and even some family classics with the big kids {The Sandlot, The Great Outdoors...stuff like that}, but there are a lot I want to watch with Drew - and eventually Paige!

So far we've watched 4 movies together {not counting all the Harry Potter films}:

Girls Just Want to Have Fun - I don't think she was quite sure about this when we started it, but by the end she was dancing and jumping around like crazy! This is what Allison {my movie date} and I used to watch QUITE OFTEN on our elementary school sleepovers. Very much a classic!


Pride & Prejudice
 - one of my all-time favorite movies - she enjoyed it but I had to pause it quite often to explain what was going on, ha.


Troop Beverly Hills - we watched it with her best friend when we were selling Girl Scout cookies! Patty and I watched this ALLLL the time as kids.


Little Women - Paige even got in on some of this one, and it was another winner! I'm reading the book right now and think she'd like that too - especially as we're still making our way through the Little House series.


Here's what I have on my list for more to watch together! What am I missing??

Spring Break Fun

We just finished up our Spring Break! Marching along towards summer - I CAN'T believe it! We have just a little more than 2 months to go and then my firstborn baby is in HIGH SCHOOL. Hold me.

Finally hung this up in Paige's room - she got it for her 5th birthday ha!
It promptly fell down that night and is now on her floor...so...
I need to get it up again. But still, I did it once!

Monday we went on a nature walk and then had lunch with some of our besties! We had 5 girls and they had a great time!

Paige, Drew, Keaton, Brently, and Brinley

Me and Rhonda

SO CUTE!

Tuesday we met some of our school friends who moved in the fall. We miss these girls a lot and had a great time playing at the park.

Maya, Drew, Paige, Raina, and Aayana

Brent got extra responsibility with the family whose dogs he walks. The family was away for the weekend so Trent took care of one of the dogs. He did a great job!



The kids spent Wednesday - Friday with my parents - they hosted 'Cousin Camp' and had all 6 grandkids. Best grandparents ever!! {Well, tied with Brent's parents - we definitely hit the lottery!}


Had to share my favorite flower - nature is doing her thing and Texas is GORGEOUS.

When I got the kids back on Friday, we picked up Drew's bestie for a sleepover and went shopping!

Where did my baby go? She looks so grown here!

Drew and Zara bought matching outfits to 'twin'. Can you tell them apart?

Little Bit got a sleepover in our bed. Is there room for me?

And we ended our break with some backbend practice ha!



We had a good spring break and are ready for it to truly feel like spring - it's been COLD the last few days! Also I promise Brent and Trent were around the whole break, ha!
