Discount Movies in town

Today I took the kids to see The Muppets.  It was fair.  I was expecting better.  I thought it took a while to "kick in".  However I only spent $3.75 for all 5 of us to see it, so no big woop.

Here are the deets on Lexington Green 8 Movie Theater (located by the Target by Mall)

Mondays - $0.75 all day/all movies
Tuesdays - $1.00
Wednesdays - $1.50
Thursdays - $1.50
Fridays/Saturday AFTER 6pm $2.00

If you desire to see movie in 3D (don't do it!!!) add $2/ticket

YOU CANNOT BEAT THIS PLACE!!!  It is a clean theater and all you have to do is wait about 2-3 months to see the movie.  A price I definitely can pay!!

Preamble by Ethan

This year Ethan is in 5th grade.  They got an assignment on Thursday that they need to memorize the Preamble to the Constitution by Tuesday.  Here is Ethan's trial run before due date tomorrow.  The head shake at the very end may or may not have been his response when I told him to say Booyah at the end.  :)

Oh, Groundhog

Today we were supposed to get a bunch of snow.  It has been talked about all week.  As we got closer to today the forecast keep tweaking forecasting less and less snow.  We went from 2-5" forecasted early in the week to last night the weatherman saying it would be a dusting to 2".  Considering I had my Sunday School lesson completely prepared, I felt I had secured a huge snow storm and church would surely be cancelled. 

We got nothing.  NOTHING!  Shoot!!!  The storm hit to the south where it did drop quite a bit of snow. 

So later today I mentioned to Ashton and Ryan that I was bummed that winter missed us.  Ryan commented back with, "has it been 6 weeks ALREADY?"  hahaha!

More Winners!

Today we received information that Ryan, Ashton and Ethan's PTA Reflections Entries won at the Divisional Level and are bound for State.  The only photograph that didn't make it was Ryan's Flower City.  Of course, we are very proud of these boys.

HERE is the link to the post with the pictures.  We will keep you posted on how the photographs do at State.

Make New Friends

Tonights conversation with  Brin.

Brinley:  MOM, Grandma is going to have some new friends!

Me:  What do you mean?

Brinley:  There are some people moving to St. Louis!

Me:  How do you know this?

Brinley:  I just saw them on House Hunters!

Haha!  As if all people that move to St. Louis automatically become Grandma's new BFF's.  Ah, the innocence of children!!

What a Lemonhead!

Today the boys and I stayed after school to work on some laminating for Ryan's teacher.  The boys LOVE to stay after and dork around with some of their friends who also stay after since their mothers are school teachers. 

On this particular day, Ashton found a stash of candy.  Sour candy.  He ate a lot of it.  Bunches and bunches.  He was unsupervised.

Later he complained that his lungs hurt and pointed to his throat.  He said that the candy he ate really made them hurt.  I notified him that his lungs were not in his throat.    I then began to say they are ton . . .  and he interrupted and said, "oh, I mean my tonsticles." 

As a side note, he had his "tonsticles" removed 6 years ago.   What a nut!  (no pun intended)

Comic Relief

Last night the Ash man was up 6 times due to night terrors.  Needless to say we are all tired!  Since Ashton had been complaining of a headache and sore throat we decided today was a good day to stay home.  Of course, after school starts Ashton feels MUCH BETTER!  I take him with me to do a few errands.  While out we talk about this year's Valentine's Day plans.  Here is how the convo went down:

Mom:  Ashton, do you need to make a box for your Valentine's party at school?

Ashton:  Hmmm, when is Valentine's Day?

Mom:  February 14th - next Tuesday

Ashton:  So . . . . is that when the Easter Bunny comes?
