The Longshots
Evren’s Review: ”Good.”
Ayla’s Review: ”I think The Longshots…it had a lot of action in it. I liked it because it was really different than other movies cuz a girl playing football isn’t that usual. It wasn’t a WOW THAT WAS GREAT movie, but it was pretty good. I enjoyed it.”
Jenn’s Review: ”Much better than I expected. I was just thrilled it wasn’t animated. All around great movie, very inspirational, and a great movie to see with kids, especially girls. Definitely recommend even if you wait til it comes out on DVD.”

Grandma and Grandpa sent this to Evren in his birthday package. Of course he thought it was great!
Get your own at at I Love Chicken Poop.
Contains no actual chicken poop and actually has a very pleasant smell.

Non-stop birthday day fun, for Evren who turned five.
First stop: Krispy Kreme. We were on our way to the toy store, and needed some sugar. And they were warm!
I let Evren pick “a small toy” (mistake) and it seemed like we would NEVER get out of there.
He couldn’t make up his mind to save his life.
He finally did decide, and by then we were all starving. He got to choose where we went to lunch and he picked Burger King because “You never take us there Mommy.”
Burger, fries and lemonade slushie.
THEN, PARTY!
All his very best friends showed up and it was fabulous.
Talk about an ugly cake, I know, but it was surprisingly good!
LOVED all his presents!!
THEN, (oh yes, there’s more)…
BUILD-A-BEAR
He named this little guy “FurJoe”.
Then, dinner, his choice, a hot dog from Sonic.
He was a great sport about the first 150 or so photos I took that day, but I think this was a hint that he just wanted to finish his dinner in peace.
Anyway… it was a great day and we are still cleaning up the aftermath. I have tons more pics and if you are interested I can send you the snapfish link - just email me.
Next stop…. Kindgergarten.

Evren is standing right next to me and he’s going to tell me the captions for these pictures…
Left to right: “cat, cat, cat, lion, spider, turtle, me.”
Left to right: “my sister, me, mommy, dad.”
Left to right the red ones are “mommy, me, ayla & dad. The green ones are Unkle Dave and Aunt Tara and the yellow ones are Grandma and Grandpa. Uncle Rick isn’t on here, I put him somewhere else. Is Uncle Rick married to Jen? Oh, and the yellow cats at the bottom are Cupcake and Pepper.”

National Treasure: Book of Secrets
Eh, it was ok. I let Evren pick and this is the one he wanted. He was fine for the first half hour, then he wiggled around and demanded we leave because he was bored for the next half-hour and then he slept through the last half. It was entertaining enough for me. I was just thankful it wasn’t animated.
