When TV comes to life

While Mike was gone on a youth activity for a few days, the kids and I took a night to watch a movie and eat "TV dinners" from the mircrowave. It was a treat for all of us.

After the movie, Adelyn came running upstairs dressed as a fairy from Sleeping Beauty, and Michael was sword fighting. These guys really get into their movies... Adelyn's eyes tear up because she doesn't like to blink.


On another note, Joey loves to watch people play the Wii. For Easter, he got his very own Wii mote (a little candy dispenser) so he can try and play along. He comes up to the kids every once in a while, wanting to box them.

Cherries!

It took me this long to understand why "4th of July" merchandise always has cherries on it.

Cherries are everywhere! We've had cherries every day, all donated from generous neighbors, who either let us pick, or bring some by. Even Family night treats were cherry tarts (a no-sugar added recipe, nonetheless).
The kids were so proud to be able to pick some themselves. My favorite quotes:
Adelyn- "I just love it when the leaves cuddle me like this."Michael- "Oops, this one come off the stem. I better eat it."Joey- "Mmmmm."
