Can I hear a hip hip HOORAY, if you feel the same way!
We've had a lot of fun stuff going on at our house lately (when mommy is not on the computer, that is).
Yesterday just happened to be one of those really enjoyable days. I'll show you why.
First, the winner of "The Best Christmas Gift in the Gillespie Household 2011" goes to:
"Angry Birds--knock on wood" game.
It's seriously AWESOME! We play it at least once a day. AT LEAST! It's Isaac's favorite.
 |
| First Mommy sets it up. I've become quite the master builder. |
 |
| Then they try an knock it down. (they are much better at this than I am. I'll stick to the building) |
 | |
| Then when they get tired of missing...they bring out the big guns (Angry Bird stuffed animals they also got for Christmas). |
 |
| Even Kian gets in on it. He's pretty good...actually. He usually sits on the side and "builds" with the block we don't need at the time. Then the kids played a rousing game of "CTR guy" combat... |
 |
| Yeah..the cape is a little hidden. |
 |
| ...shield and all! |
Yeah...I still need to tell that story. I will. Hold your pants on.
We made some SUPER yummy cookies.
 |
| Recipe here...I just swapped the Cadbury Eggs for peanut butter chips. And even had the sense to ball up the rest and put them in the freezer  |
| (instead of cooking them all and eating them all in one night.) |
We ended the night with an exciting game of "hide and go seek" in which the WHOLE family participated.
I don't want to toot my own horn...but I think I won for best hiding place.
 |
| And yes...I did get up there by myself. Skirt and all. :) |
 |
| Although, Rob insisted on being chivalrous and helping me down...with the boys in the other room. For privacy sake. |
All-in-all it was a pretty fun night. We don't have a TON of those around here. Mostly we just try to get through the day without pulling our hair out and then get the kids in bed A.S.A.P.
Okay...maybe I exaggerate. Then again, maybe not.

I love that you were able to have (and recognize) the fun day! They're so sweet when the come along, aren't they? Fabulous hiding place, by the way. How long did it take for them to find you? Give all of them a hug for me! Love you guys.
not long enough. Kian saw me after only a few minutes (with Rob's assistance) and kept squawking and pointing until the others caught on. Total bummer.
Melanie...you crack me up! Glad things are good!
Those cookies look amazing! And you are looking HOT up there! Way to go!!
I love this tell more blog!! I'm so glad that I've been able to see your cute family as they grow although we're so far away! And you did look way cute up there! I need to have some more fun days with my family :) And I need to find time to blog about it!
All that fun and you didn't even call me to tell me about it!!! Glad you had such a fun day -- I bet your kids will remember it for a long time -- maybe forever. Love you!
Mom...by the time we got them in bed it was WAY too late to call. Otherwise I would have.
Next you should try Hide and Seek in the dark. It's awesome! One time my fam played Sardines in the dark and my BIL found a place on the top shelf of a pantry. The sardines part didn't work too well for that one!
How fun! I've definitely got to get a hold of that Angry Birds game. Oh, and I LOVE the hiding place. hee-hee, so awesome!
Katie...you can find it at Walmart, Target, etc. It's WAY fun!
hahaha!! oh Melanie, that made my day
that hiding place is just plain awesome.
