Well this past Saturday came and Dalin woke up with all the excitement of a little boy expecting a surprise that he didn't know what it was...this comes from me telling him that if he could behave at school and get all "green" days (blue,red,and yellow are BAD!!) ;) that we would do something very special as a treat on Saturday. Well Chris and I researched together (via internet 3000 miles apart) things that the kids and I could do to give Dalin an incentive to have these good days again. So I found something that I thought the kids would immensely enjoy and as wouldn't you know as luck would have it, the snows came AND came AND came...we couldn't get out of our parking spot even and so that activity had to get canceled but promised that we would try and make the on-base movie that night...so to pass the time we made some homemade playdough...the can picture is just to show you the preferred rolling method should you ever get a hankering to make some yourself!! ;) Anyway, so 30 minutes before the movie is supposed to start on base we get everybody all suited up in snow gear just to go the 5 ft. to the car and slip 'n' slide our way onto base just in time to see that the theater was closed for "inclement weather." Now come on USAF, if I can get my kids out in the cold just to sit in your second-rate theater with sub-par food, the least you could do would be SHOW UP!! No hard feelings as you can tell!!
