Family Movie Night, Mommy Brag, and Portraits from a 4-year old

Family Movie Night:

The other night we had a Family Movie Night. We pulled the futon mattress into the living room, we all got our favorite blankets and pillows, popped popcorn and snuggled together to watch a short movie before bed. The kids loved it! They have asked to do it every night since. We're planning on doing it again tomorrow night for FHE - Coming Soon to the Zolli Theater: Veggie Tales Lord of the Beans. *lol*


(There's Jenalyn with her funny faces again! - I LOVE IT!)

Mommy Brag:

Not one but TWO people approached me today and told me how much they enjoyed hearing Corbin singing in Nursery today :) One wasn't even a nursery leader, but a parent in there with his daughter. He said he heard just one kid singing so he walked around to figure out who it was and then he realized it was Corbin *awe* and he said he knew almost every word (I am Like a Star Shining Brightly is one of the favorites in our house). The other compliment came from one of the Primary Presidency. She was in there leading the singing time for the Nursery. She said she always appreciates it when Corbin is there because she knows she won't be singing solo *lol* My big boy is such a good singer! He can dance too, you know!

Portraits from a 4-Year Old:

We went to a Financial Preparedness class at the church tonight. They provided babysitting for the little kids (thank heavens for that - do you know how hard it is to get babysitters on a Sunday night?). Well when we went in to get the kids afterwards we were shown two pictures Jenalyn drew of her mom & dad:

Here's dad - complete with glasses and whiskers on his head and face:
And Mom - check out her whiskers: *lol*
Oh geez...how embarrassing is that? HONESTLY!

Ok so now I need to see a little video of the boy singing! I LOVE the one of Jena-bug on your myspace! I showed it to Greg the other night...He couldn't really understand what she was saying but he LOVED her moves! *lol* Such cute little chillens you have there! (*chillens* stolen from our sister Jennie!) :)

Yeah for corbin! I've had to do music time in nursery, and I think I did sing a solo. How nice it would have been to hear a little boy singing along. We have family movie night every Friday night, and my kids won't let us miss it. They LOVE it. Isn't is nice that kids are so easy to please.

You blog is very beautiful! I haven't visited it in a while so it was great to catch up and see the new layout. Your little Jenalyn is getting SO gorgeous and I can't believe how bit Corbin is...just like his daddy. I'll have to do a blog about Austin's funny faces too, it must be the age...and we can show them each others funny faces. :)

Tara said...

Seriously that is such a great idea! I bet your kids just love it. I'm totally stealing that from you.

Ginny said...

What a fun idea! I bet those are moments your kids will remember. Love, love, love the Jenalyn's drawings.
