Saturday Night

Last night was one the ubiquitous banquets in town. I had never heard of such a thing but they have them for every animal - elk, turkey, pheasants, whatever. My in-laws love to go to them but Travis doesn't care for them and neither does his nieces. Usually they just go - which I imagine is a nightmare - they aren't the best behaved and it really isn't for kids - but yesterday and 6:45 in the AM!!! my sister-in-law called and asked if we would watch the kids. We had so much fun with them. Had dinner, played outside, played on the Wii, we ran into town and got a movie and ice cream. You can imagine how excited Travis was to rent the Hannah Montana movie. He was really hoping for Monsters vs Aliens, but once the kiddos saw Hannah Montana that was it. The little one drew pictures and pictures of chickens. So cute. For the most part they were pretty good. They are my nieces and I love them but they also terrify me because the thought of having such spoiled rotten kids - they literally do not know what the word "no" means. They don't even slow down or pause. But they were good about helping set the table and feed the animals before dinner. Anyway, we had fun. I asked Travis if I could have three - his response was only if they were boys - I think Hannah Montana really scared him.
