I usually don't post much without pictures, but I decided I don't always have to have pictures to make a post! On Friday night we went with the boys to their school for a family movie night. It was on the ball field in the back of the school.
They hung a white tarp on a fence and projected a movie on it. The screen was small and the sound was way too loud, but it was fun! We got there a few minutes early and they had music playing and kids were running around playing. Ours were standing in front of the speakers dancing like crazy! Once it started, it got dark fast and pretty cold. They played the movie Rio. Porter fell asleep after a while and I just kept him wrapped up and close to keep him warm. After the movie was over we left and stopped at the store for hot cocoa mix and went home, had hot cocoa, and went to bed!
We had fun and are excited to go next year! We will be more prepared then with lawn chairs, sleeping bags, and treats. This time we just sat on the ground on a blanket and didn't bring any snacks!

Excited For Fall!
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm so excited for fall!!! I can't wait for cooler temperatures and it also means the boys are back in school! I'm hoping I can finally get settled from the move. The last year has been a whirlwind and I'm looking forward to it maybe calming down.
Dave and I both took turns being sick for almost a month each and in separate months. Needless to say, our boys didn't have much excitement this summer. I did venture downtown with them by myself once. There were these free Friday activities in Market Square during the summer for kids. We went to The Bird Guy day. It was a free show, but the parking was $12 for less than two hours!
While we were on the drive there, the radio started talking about how at the Steelers Stadium that day there were American Idol auditions going on. I was worried it would be nuts down there, but it wasn't. Needless to say, we decided we would go and check it out. I found parking and it was cheap! Only $3 and we even found a spot! We got out and walked over and overlooked where everyone was waiting and people were coming out. There were some that were completely heartbroken and crying as they walked away. Braxton was worried that I would get arrested and they would get thrown in Juvie for being there. I tried to tell him it was a public place and we weren't causing problems so we'd be ok!
After that we walked across the street to the Ohio (I think....) River and watched the ferries and boats come through.
The American Idol hopefuls! There were more than 30,000 people there. This was just a small section! 
The boats and ferries!

At the bird show.
After the show the bird guy let kids hold a few birds. He placed five birds on them if they would wait in line and hold still. The boys thought it was cool!

We were right next to the Carnagie Science Museum and this sub was in the water outside of it. It was kinda cool to look at!
