follow up and a slumber party!

Well last week was great on the dinner front... made everything I wanted to except for the potato soup, it's been so stinkin' warm who wants to eat soup... so we'll save it for another time.  I have a feeling February and March are going to bumpy... Also tried something cool - monster green smoothie...see pictures for proof... Mark loved it - got mad when we took it away from him...Curt said it was okay (of course he did...such a good husband, but i doubt i'll get him to try it again) and Noah liked it but not as well as Mark...ahh good ol' Mark, he'll try anything for momma!

On a fun note Noah got to have his first non-family sleep over last weekend with his dear friend Wyatt.  One word for this super fun party --> VOLUME!  the volume of three boys in this house was incredible in every sense of that word...squealing, screaming, yelling, sound effects and of course some crying...  It was so fun to watch them play non-stop...coming up with new games, different ways of playing with the same ol' toys we've had forever...and to watch Mark just take it all in an follow as one of the group was just awesome!  Curt told me a story on Sunday after they had all left and it was quiet...I guess when I went to get the pizza on Saturday night he heard all of the boys playing in Noah's room...then it got quiet (which is never good) and then he heard Mark sort of whining...he walked back there and saw Mark trapped underneath a clear tote bin (used for clothes or toys in the basement) and Noah and Wyatt were sitting on top... it took Curt all his strength not to laugh (because I guess he had done this with his brother TO his sister all the time while they were growing up...), but he said "UH NO" to them and made them let Mark out...thank goodness...hopefully there was no permanent damage done...i don't think there was...all in the name of being one of the 'big' boys right Mark....poor kid!  I wish Curt would've taken a picture of it...ah well :)

Here's a pic of them playing in the basement - glad we got to do the slumber party...it was fun, for all of us...ready to do it again and let him be the visitor:)

oh and please disregard the tv in the background...they weren't watching anything horrific..just Arthur Christmas :)
