This past Friday Kevin and I went and saw the Hunger Games with a group of friends. Kevin's dad offered to stay with the kids so we went to a late show after they were asleep and took Edyn with us. I have never taken a baby to a movie so I wasn't sure what to expect. I ended up sitting in the cry room on some plastic lawn furniture watching a 2 1/2 hour movie. She wasn't bad, just a little fussy and she fell asleep pretty quick. I just didn't want to have keep getting up and down and bothering people during the movie. Needless to say, we won't be doing that again anytime soon! The movie was well done, I think the over all theme of it all bothered me a lot more when it was in movie form versus just reading about it so I''m not sure I'll see any of the rest of them in the theater.
Then Saturday Kevin and I participated in a fun run here that was put on by a friend of ours in honor of her mom who passed away this past fall. It was her birthday and she had always wanted to do a half marathon so the race was a 5k/10k and a half marathon. Kevin pushed the stroller with the kids and ran the 5k and I did the 10k. It was also 36 degrees that morning and windy and I was FREEZING and so were my poor children. I finished in about 50 minutes, which is definitely not breaking any records but considering the weather I was happy I could push myself that hard.
Then weirdly we have been having very warm weather since then and Isak gets out the hose whenever he can. Here he is with my dish soap making bubbles down our driveway.
And my Edyn girl. She is at such a fun age when they start to notice the world around them and she loves it when people pay attention to her. She will smile and coo and kick her legs. She also isn't so content to just be plopped in her swing anymore when I need both hands so I've found she just cries a little more than the other two did because I'm busy! But, I also have Isak to help entertain her and she loves him so he will frequently sit and talk to her and make faces at her while I'm making dinner or taking Lucy potty.
