Family Movie Night Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa – Since this was an impromptu plan (we received the movie in the mail today from Netflix), I made a batch of brownies and used cookie cutters to cut out “M-2”, “A-F-R-I-C-A” and two airplanes out of the finished brownies. This was our snack during the movie. Both the boys really enjoyed the movie…and I had a hard time keeping Zach back away from the TV! He would get so engrossed in it, that he kept walking closer and closer to the TV.2.07.2009

Drew had his first field trip with his new class. They loaded all the kids on a bus (complete with 5-point harness seatbelts for each of them) and took them into the Springfield Nature Center. While there they were able to see a salamander & frog and pet a toad and a snake! Drew enjoyed the visit, but his favorite part was the bus ride – a first for him. In picture: Drew & friend, Jacob, checking out an exhibit at the nature center .2.03.2009

Super Bowl Sunday! After our evening church service, the Walker and Williams families came over. While the guys watched the Tivoed game, the ladies sat upstairs chatting and the 6 kids ran wild. Everyone had a great time!
