Random, random, random

So first off, some randoms need said....

1. Dark Knight ROCKED! Mike and I went on a date (a DATE!) on Wednesday night (thanks Shan and John for watching the kiddos) and we went and saw it. Mike was dying because apparently he "wanted" to fight the crowds and go on opening night, but we were in Idaho for the temple open house. So, instead we were 5 days later in seeing it and it did not disappoint! Love, love, love Christian Bale! And Heath Ledger was a VERY believeable Joker. I'm not jumping on the give-him-an-Oscar bandwagon, but he was super creepy and super good in character.

2. We try to take the kids to the dollar store once a month. Well, we have missed a few months as the kids keep reminding us, so today when it was too hot to work out in the yard, we loaded up in the car, got the kids their $2 each out of their money jars, and headed for Dollar Tree. Oh yeah! Fun times! I bought for myself a new heel scraper and some silicone brushes for cooking with. Oh yeah, and toothbrushes for the Stake activity thing we are having next month. (our ward got assigned to bring 200 toothbrushes) ...ANyWAy...
We always let the kids buy whatever they want. WHATEVER. Sometimes that backfires on us. Like the time that Jenny bought maracas. She now doesn't not get to buy anything musical...and for good reason too. Jonathan usually buys toy cars or guns, Rachel gets dolls, but Meghan....well, lets just say that she goes into the dollar store with a mission and does anything she can to accomplish it. Today was "mission accomplished"! She seriously is a fashionista. She just is. I couldn't help but take her picture when we got home of her and her $2 spent. YOU GO GIRL! 3. Sidney is apparently an "apprentice" fashionista because every day (no, seriously...everyday!) she pulls open the bottom drawer of my hope chest where random things have been placed and pulls out Meghan sling from when she broke her arm 2 years ago and then she drapes it around her neck. It's so cute! Sometimes Jonathan puts his batman cape on her too and then she looks really silly! And she will just toddle around the house dressed like that for hours and hours. :] It's all about accessorizing!!
