Highlights from the last few days: Skyping with Cassie, who as usual tried to skype-kiss the kids, who run away screaming. Cason grabbed some painters tape and taped her mouth shut to stop her from kissing him. Haha.
Saturday was full of birthday parties, for all the nieces on my side of the family. Alex and Faith had a shared party in the mountains for lunch.
Then later for Bayleigh, who turned 6. She's the one with pigtails, getting her new bike.
The Casons had as much fun together as usual.
There was an arcade.
Paige impressed us with her shooting.
BUT....my favorite part of the weekend was the long awaited viewing of Brave! It came out on Friday, and Paige and I were there for the first showing, plenty early to get good seats. First of all, as we walked to the car Cason yelled out the window that he loved us "more than chocolate ice cream!" Then Neely got in the window too and yelled "IWUVOO!" First time she's said it to me. :)
Paige wanted to bring her Merida doll and even the horse. She was really proud when kids would see them and say how cool they were. Ha.
It was a really good movie for a mom and daughter date, too.
I don't know if I'm crazy or if Pixar movies get better every time, but this is my new favorite. We both loved it so much. So much so, that we went back as a family for the late showing that same night. We even decided to try it with Neely, figuring if it didn't work out I could take her out since I already saw it. But she LOVED it, and watched the entire thing without seeming bored once. She didn't even really get scared of any of the bear scenes, and they're pretty scary a couple of times. Cason and I were more scared than Neely was. Haha. Anyway, I highly recommend it, of course. Can't wait for it to come out on dvd.

We just went to Brave and Minuet loves it! (me too) She is the weird kid yelling funny things at the screen, hahaha. I always think other ppl wonder who those bad parents are with the loud happy girl. Ah well. I had read a bad review and so was really happy with it and didn't think disappointing at all. So excited to get DVD.
I saw bad reviews too. Those people are crazy. Oh, I forgot to write about it, but Neely was the loud kid too. She'd yell things like "WOOK IT! It's a FIYA!" when she saw the will o' the wisps. Haha.
We saw it over the weekend and loved it as well! I was so in love with the little short film too. I kept wishing Ever was old enough to see it and enjoy it but she will soon enough because it'll for sure be one we own and watch a billion times. I kept thinking of you and wondering what you thought knowing that you are as obsessed with Disney/Pixar as me. I almost cried I loved it so much :)
Oh yeah, we'll own it the second it comes out Skye! And yes, La Luna was amazing too!
