Last weekend was Fall Break for the kids. It was a very long weekend as they had both Thursday and Friday off of school. Thursday was chore day so we could have fun on the other days of vacation, plus, I had a huge migraine and did not want to do much.
Friday we got to have our friend's three kids overnight. We decided to take the whole gaggle of kids bowling. We went to Fat Cats, a local bowling and pizza place. The kids had a great time and the scores were pretty even. Matt did not win the first round - but he would tell you that you should subtract some points from the kids that used bumpers. Chloe was an adult and went bumper-less, so her score was not quite as high as the others, but she got better as time went on. Everyone got at least one strike, and most of them got more than one.
Livi, who is three, loved bowling and stayed engaged in the activity for almost the entire two hours! When she first got her shoes, she said that she couldn't wait to show them to her Mom. That could have been a problem, but we got them off her and back to the desk.
The boys had a blast dancing and jumping around to the music. About half-way through, the aisles went dark and they turned on the glow lights, which the boys liked even more. The balls kind of glowed and the shoes glowed - it was pretty cool.
We played a second round and Matt was awesome - through 6 frames (we ran out of time to finish) he scored a 111! He did choke on his chance for a turkey and I made fun of him. I almost thought I saw a tear, but he quickly wiped it away. Needless to say, if I still bowled, I would have crushed them all! You can see bowling pictures below.
On the drive home we were rocking out to the radio and Soul Sister (by Train) came on. This is Livi's favorite song, and she sang as much as she could. Afterwards, she asked for Soul Sister to be played again, so we pulled out Chloe's iPod and plugged it into the car. As Soul Sister came back on, Josh, Matt, and Olivia started a trio of singers, until Livi stopped them and said that Matt should not sing anymore (I was very grateful that I was not the one that had to tell Matt to stop). I restarted the song and this time Matt was quiet as Livi and Josh sang almost the whole song together. Very cute!
After that long Friday (the kids got to bed pretty late) we had a Saturday family pizza and movie night. It was a great weekend - but I was still happy to send the kids back to school this morning.

Livi actually got a strike on this turn.
Livi really liked the shoes. I thought there would be a problem getting them back.
