Off to the Movies!

We went to watch Shrek Forever After in 3D yesterday and we loved it! The 3D graphics were really awesome!! Here's the kiddos posing outside after the movie. This picture is actually kinda hilarious! Michael has an awesome pose, Matthew has no face, Jacob looks fairly decent, Patrick is doing some kind of wrestler move or something, and Ashlee was leaning a bit. Now I know why I don't take the kids to get pictures made more often...it's nerve-racking! :)

Then I decided to have my picture made with the boys...TAKE 1: Sun is killing Jacob's eyes and Matthew is in the process of beating his head off.
TAKE 2: Matthew looks great, but the sun got to Jacob again right before the camera snapped.

TAKE 3: Jacob is smiling cute and Matthew hid his face! We just gave up! Perhaps I can photoshop Matthew's face from TAKE 2 into this picture. :)

Topping off the evening, Jacob had a ball game. We waited to leave till the last minute, thinking it would be rained out, but they managed to squeeze in the game with only a few rain drops. We didn't take our last at-bat though as the lightening was getting closer. I was very proud of Jacob's defensive effort! He did an awesome job!! We did our usual of driving to 'the Grove' and getting us something to eat. Matthew ate at the game and Jacob said he didn't feel like eating. On the way home, he commences to puke ALL over the car! UGH!!!! When I saw he had eaten the rest of his popcorn before going to play ball, I didn't have a good feeling, and I told him he might not should have done that. It appears that was the case, as he was fine the rest of the night, and thankfully he's feeling fine today!!

One thing I love about summer is that Matthew seems more communicative when he is here all day. He said Jacob's name several times this morning, much to the delight of his little brother! :) I also LOVE that Matthew tries to charm his way into getting what he wants...which is usually food. This morning, he would hand me his bowl, say, "I want bologna", and then WINK at me. It was the absolute cutest thing to watch him work his charm!! ;)

We are planning on having pizza and movie night tonight, as iCarly has a new movie coming on! It's a bit sad that I like watching the new episodes almost as much as the kids do. It may be a good night to set up the tent and have a camp out while we're at it!! Hhmm, S'mores don't sound half bad either!! :)
