Mama, look!

I love that my kids actually notice nature and its beauty. They always stop and appreciate a beautiful sunset, and it makes my heart smile. One of their favorite things to do when we go to Mexico is to watch the sun sink into the ocean. So here was a recent Colorado sunset we all paused to admire...ahhh...Even with our suburban rooftops in the foreground, it's still beautiful. (And the weird double-sun thing is because I took the picture through a double-paned window.)

On tap for us this evening...watching a couple of movies [How to Train Your Dragon and Date Night (after the kids go to bed)] with pizza on TV trays. The boys got to watch Iron Man 2 (their first PG-13 movie) last weekend with pizza on a TV tray, and it was BIG TIME to them. Getting to eat on the couch with a TV tray was about as exciting as the movie. :) We were a little unsure if they'd make it through the movie because it has some superhero fights and stuff, but they made it and as soon as it was over, they were total motor-mouths about how "awesome!!!" the movie was. I'm determined not to get the cold that Ben is trying to give me, so laying on the couch watching movies sounds about my speed this evening.
