Weekend

I had a busy busy weekend. Saturday was Oldest's birthday party at wowzone. All the kids had a blast, Youngest bowled with them and was hilarious to watch. He would roll the ball using both hands and then jump while watching the ball go down the lane, run back to me and jump some more until the ball hit the pins..usually 8 of them. Then we ate pizza had an awesome cake, (will upload picture of it later)It was a picture of a boy holding a Laser Tag gun and even though they did not know what oldest looked like the boy looked exactly like him without glasses. It was awesome lol. Then after food and gifts the boys used their gamecards until the laser tag arena was open. Youngest ended up not doing laser tag, the dark scared him. I do haev to say that having the party there was great for me since it came with a Party Host. I had to do nothing, worry about nothing...loved it! I am usually running around making sure everything goes smoothly so miss the excitement of the party. On yes a FUNNY..I had told oldest to out the bag of goodies for his party in the car before we left. he went outside with it and came in without it. On the way to town I asked him where the bag was, he said 'you did not give it to me.' I told him I had given it to him earlier and that he had gone outside with it and returned empty handed. I got to thinking then asked him if he had thrown it away, he said the FCO bag? I said yes and he said um...yeah. lol so hubby brought us to the party and turned around to get the goodies, luckily they were tied up in the bag so did not fall out in the can, that and the can was empty so there was nothing to dig through. At the time wasn't funny but as I think back on it, it is pretty funny.
Ok after party we had Jungle Boogie (fundraiser for lil ones Pre-K)at the secondary school and oldest had Saturday night madness at the rec center. Both boys had fun and I got many pictures of lil one dancing and playing at the Hippo Hop.
Sunday we woke up bright and early to go up to Como Zoo in St Paul...we were there an hour and a half since it was still a bit cold so the outdoor exhibits were closed but we had fun watching the sea lion and the gorillas. Plus there were some tiny babie monkeys born just a few weeks ago. On to the Mall of America in Bloomington, we walked around, had lunch, kids played at LegoLand and then we went and had fresh Crepes...we shared a strawberry one and a banana nutella one and man were they YUMMY. The boys said they didn't want any and ended up scarfing both of them down, hubby and I got like 2 bites each. I got one of those water massages...talk about heaven...I paid for 10 minutes got 15 and did not want to get out, I could have sworn had only been in there 5 minutes lol. After some more walking and browsing we went home, we were only in the Cities for 5 1/2 hours but man was it a full 5 1/2 hours.

The NEW Three Stooges

Not sure if the casting director got all the possible actors for characters right.

Sean Penn is set to play Larry, and Jim Carrey is in negotiations to play Curly.
Benicio del Toro is a rumored possibility for the brothers' taciturn leader, Moe.

Stellan

Way back in August, when little Stellan was still in the womb and the doctors had given him a pretty grim prognosis MckMama followers from near and far started sending her pictures of Stellan's name spelled out in snow, apple pie, crayons and other crazy, beautiful things. And it encouraged MckMama and displayed to the eyes what was happening in the spirit. People were loving, remembering and praying for Stellan. Fighting for him the only way they knew how.In MckMama's own words from her August 8th blogpost, "What a testimony it will be to see such reminders of all the people who prayed for Stellan, that he would live!"
