A Great Day!!

Today has really been such a great day. It started this morning with some lazy time around the house. I made coffee and watched Pioneer Woman. Then the kids watched Monsters vs. Aliens. There was a chill in the air that reveals that summer is ending. That part makes me sad. I hate to see summer end!!

After lunch, I took the kids(minus Lauren, she was with a friend at Elitch Gardens today and Rick who is out of town) and 2 other friends out bowling.

We decided after our first game of bowling, to do a round of "crazy bowling." If you don't know what that is, you should google it. Basically, you bowl a crazy way each frame. This takes the competition out of it and just makes it fun.

Oh, how I wish you could truly see the expression on my face!!

We were bowling with our eyes closed, turning in circles 5 times and then bowling while dizzy, and bowling in slow motion. The funniest one was when we were told to ask someone from outside of our group to bowl a frame. Cody asked the man in the lane next to us. Thankfully, he was a good sport. It was also pretty funny when Isaiah bowled his ball down the wrong lane. I cannot take my eyes off that boy for even a second!!

Many times, anything we do that has any sort of competition to it ends with anger and tears. That did not happen today. It was so much more fun, and we all still liked each other when we left. We will definitely do that again!!

Good times!! Isaiah had more fun than his face shows.

Afterwards, we came home for pizza and a movie. They were so hungry. Laila actually ate 4 pieces of pizza!! Early bedtime is next on the agenda. That is my favorite way to end the day!!
