Aloha!

The sign says "4 weeks of deployment." Ha! I just now noticed. It's supposed to say 4 MONTHS. Oh well! It was still fun. There is a program here called "Blue Star." When soldiers deploy, the families that are left behind receive a special card - the blue star card - which allows them to go to special (free) activities, receive discounts, and (my favorite) 20 hours of free childcare a month. We took this picture last Friday night. We went to a movie night. It was supposed to rain so instead of watching outside, they moved it indoors. We were the third family in line and I ended up getting a free movie ticket (only the first 100 people over the age of 10 got them). While we were here we all got free (<---I really like this word) (gourmet) popcorn (AMAZING! Caramel corn with the bottom half dipped in milk chocolate and the top drizzled with white chocolate), hotdogs, lemonade, kool aid, and otter pops. We watched the movie Megamind. Well, we watched part of it. Jacob was doing so well. He just sat there watching. But Joshie decided to let everyone know (VERY vocally) that he was tired and wanted to go home. So about 30 minutes into it we left. That's ok. We own the movie anyway. I just took the boys for a change of scenery, free dinner and a movie ticket. :)
