Incredible Pizza Fun!!

Since Binga got out of the hospital and was deemed fit for company, the kids and I loaded up and made the trip! Just what the doctor ordered!!

And what's a trip to Binga's house without a trip to Incredible Pizza?!

Jacob loved bowling! He actually did pretty good...scored a 65! :)

Not a good picture, but Anna is now tall enough to ride the bumper cars!! Her arms are barely long enough to reach the control sticks, though! She had to streeeetch.

And Jacob is tall enough now to ride the go-karts!! He not-so-patiently waited his turn.

He loved it! He did NOT want to get out. Anybody surprised?

As if all the games and pizza weren't enough to entice Jacob to love this place, they have this beauty sitting just inside the doorway! :)

Hopefully tomorrow we can convince the kids to go play in all the snow Papa has been saving up for them on the back deck! So far they've said it's too cold. Whimps!! ;)

Gone Fishin'

Have I mentioned that we're flooded? ;) We also have new Dollar General. I spent the best $2.50 today...on a fishing pole! Jacob wasn't as interested in it as I thought he would be. Anna was so excited about it. She spent over an hour outside this afternoon with it!

Jacob preferred to play in the water while Anna fished.

Look Mama! I caught a fish!!

She put the fish in the bucket. She doesn't like getting in the 'pond'...it's too dirty!

Jacob on the other hand...he doesn't mind getting in the dirty water. AT ALL.

Oooooo...what's this?!

Look Mama! I caught a fish too!!!

He did so good, just sitting on the curb playing. Until he walked "across the pond". Then he kept trying to go too far into the street. So he had to go inside. He was NOT HAPPY about that. I'm sure the neighbors thought he was losing a limb the way he carried on.

Anna stayed out there for at least another hour fishing. She had so much fun. I think the only reason she came inside was because she was thirsty!

So I think I know what she'll be getting for her birthday! The lake has great fishing, I hear. Although she might change her mind when she sees what real fishing entails...touching a worm and a real fish! :)
