We took the kids and Grama Mary up to Cedar Rapids to see Disney on Ice. The kids absolutely loved it! They talked Grama Mary into cotton candy, popcorn, and hand held lights! Everyone took turns wearing the Dash mask that came with the cotton candy.
The whole premise behind the show was that the Incredible family wanted to take a vacation and just be a regular family, so they decide to go to Disneyland. When they get there, the dad, Bob, keeps destroying the rides because he thinks they are in danger. They destroyed the Jungle Book Ride, the Tea cups, the Haunted Mansion, the Pirates of the Caribbean, Buzz Lightyear, and a Small World (which might not be so bad, considering how annoying that song is!) Syndrome shows up and kidnaps Mickey and Minnie, so the rest of the show becomes a rescue mission by the Incredible family, where they continue to destroy more rides.
In the end, the Incredibles save Mickey and Minnie and the Light Parade goes on! YEAH!
Maison had his Back to School Night tonight. We went to school and learned about his day and looked over some of the things he has been working on at school. His most recent project has been creating his own newspaper.
His main story was about RAGBRAI and how his Great Uncle Dan brought his team here to stay the night. His hero is his Dad. His cartoon was a drawing of Alvin and the Chipmunks swimming in soup and his favorite book is any one that he can read. He did a great job!
Double click the play button for some football follies!
Jason and I decided to take the kids to a football game. This was Maison's second game and Libby's first. We met Jason's friend Eric, his boys Jackson and Bronson, and Eric's Dad for the game.
We first had to make a trip to the Strawberry Patch at the mall, which sells ISU clothing for adults and kids. Maison and Libby wanted/needed new chicken shirts. (Cy, is the school's mascot. He is a Cardinal, but for some reason the kids think he is a chicken) ISU changed their logo along with their color pallet because of last year's coaching change. So of course Jason and I also needed new sweatshirts so we wouldn't jinx the team with our old stuff. So after spending a small fortune, we headed over to the game.
Jason's work, Country Landscapes Inc, shares a tailgating tent with a couple of other businesses, so we headed over to grab a bite to eat. The kids had a great time playing with Jackson and Bronson. Libby had to make a trip to the port-a-potty. Next think I know, I have all 4 kids with me, not realizing this would be the first trip EVER for all of them! So they each head into their own Johnny, and pretty soon everyone within earshot is getting a play-by-play announcement of what's in the toilet, what color it is, and how disgusting it is! Libby peeks out of her Johnny with her pants around her ankles asking me for help because she is afraid she will fall in the hole and get "that green poop all over her new cheerleader suit!" Everyone was dying!
Overall, I don't know how much of the game the kids watched, but they had a blast and we won!
