This has been spring break week for the kids, but I didn't take any time off. However, we did do a few things we otherwise wouldn't have. Tuesday, since there was no Cub Scouts, we took the kids out to see "How to Train Your Dragon" in 3-D. Which was, I must say, awesome in ways Eragon can only dream about. Everyone loved it. And, it was the first time either kid has ever HELD IT because they didn't want to miss any of the movie. When it ended, both of them had to go really bad. It was also the first time I've ever seen a 3-D movie where I thought the 3-D actually added to the movie. In "Alice in Wonderland" it was just distracting. Wednesday, we took the kids to the mall in Fort Wayne to get some portraits taken at Picture People. They were ok, but none were really as good as we have had done there before. We only got a few poses that worked. Alex is at the age when he can't just smile naturally, and in all the pictures he looked like a goober. But we got a couple keepers, too. Friday was small group, and because we have been growing so much lately we've moved to the church building. We had a fun night as a sort of kickoff to the new location and welcome to several new couples. We had the ping pong table and video games out for the kids, and the grownups played some games (Pit was very popular and had a full table for several rounds) and ate and chatted. Alex was having a tough time for a while because Mason wasn't there and mostly there were just girls or older boys. But he made it. Saturday we took the kids bowling because they've been asking to go for quite a while now. Alex actually got a strike (bumper bowling) which made his day. Today, we went shopping after church for our World Compassion Network Family 2 Family boxes and packed them up...knowing that we forget about that sort of a thing if we don't take care of it right away...and had it delivered to church by evening
