Once A Party Girl, Now A Party Mom: Saturday Night VLOG!

Today I am teaming up with the ever-delightful Ann's Rants and Jessica from Bernthis.com for a Saturday Night Vlog Spectacular! Spectacular! We are all vlogging about our typical Saturday night's activities. Hit the links to check out their vids after you watch my Guide to Dating a Nine-Year-Old.

This past Saturday was extremely atypical, actually. Daddy-007 took off for Northern Wisconsin, with the Animal and Destructo in tow, and was gone from Friday until Sunday. This left Capt. Chaos (my oldest) and I to a weekend of fun and chores (guess who got which one, grrrr). I decided, since it was just the two of us, that a "date" was in order! CC enthusiastically agreed and we had an excellent time going out to a movie and dinner. There may have even been some happy hand-holding. :) The only hiccup came later that night, when all I wanted was to watch The Reader and kick back in bed and all CC wanted to do was jump in the sack with me! I fended him off for a couple hours, but he finally wheedled his way into my room and onto the loveseat, where he claimed to sleep like a baby. I say, "Women, guard your daughters!" Because CC hates to sleep alone and is very persuasive. ;-)



Now, go watch the other videos at Ann's Rants and Bernthis.com.

Disclaimer: My husband pointed out that he was a little disturbed by the video of CC in the car. I swear to you that I was not checking the video screen while filming thereby endangering his life and mine. I was just holding the camera and pointing it at him while I drove, for no more than a few moments at a time.

  8. OK, first off, after watching this video, I made the decision that you should be editing all of our vlog clips going forward. :) There were words and music in this clip. My friend, your degree is film is clearly evident. Well done!

    Oh, and like most others, I loved the few seconds of your boy talking after the helium inhale. Good stuff!

    Your award should be changed to Hottest Vlogger!

  10. Good heaven...I want to double date you two! He is awesome! Also, I may have a need to get out more. This past weekend, my date was the couch and the same episode of Ace of Cakes I'd watched seven hours earlier. I'm a simple girl, and simple girls like me love the unlimited fries at Red Robin!

  15. Amy I'm back. This is too too good. I love the "yummy"s on the screen, I love CC "do you like me now? Now do you like me?" he is so cute it hurts a little. I love him singing along in the car.
