With today being the last day before Eva and Allison return to school on which I was not working we decided to have a family fun day that included a few things. First we went to Chuck E. Cheese’s for lunch and a couple of hours of play. I do enjoy going there because we have a good time and the pizza is enjoyable. I get to play a few racing games and get to see the excitement in the kids faces when they win tickets. Andrew is still thrilled to win one or two and Eva is starting to get more skilled. Allison excels at Skee Ball and she brought in a bunch of tickets for the kids. I get the tickets by buying the deals and then taking online surveys. sure the kids win cheap plastic crap but they have fun doing it.

Later that night we watched Star Wars for the first time ever. Eva has seen Star Wars Rebels before but she has never seen Star Wars the movie. I had purchased the Digital Movie pack with all six movies but a strange thing about that is that you can only watch A New Hope through the Google Play app and there was no way for me to get it on the TV. I wonder if having a Chromecast device would make that possible. Well, I tried several different ways to get the movie and then just bit the bullet and bought it through amazon.com so we could watch it whenever on many devices.

Eva did a good job with the movie. There were a ton of things that she noticed from watching Star Wars Rebels. She decided that Darth Vader wasn’t as scary as she had thought or made him out to be. she was glad that she watched the movie and now she wants to watch Empire. I’m more than happy to watch the movies with her and the order in which we will do things will be Movies 4-6, 1-2, the Clone Wars, 3 and then when she is older, 7.

Tic Tac Toe Time

We did our back to school shopping tonight at Target and then took the kids to the new Red Robin at Patriot place. The previous building was torn down to make way for another hotel. The enw building is closest to overlooking the main gates of the stadium. We had a nice meal and the kids had fun. The restaurant now has these chalkboards that you can take to your table and play games or use to draw. The kids enjoy Tic Tac Toe and having it on the chalkboard was nice because they could play over and over again.

Back to school is right around the corner and even though it felt like last minute shopping we are ahead of the game. For now.
