I was supposed to work all day but I got to leave around 5:30, yay! I drove out to Commerce to meet my family at my cousin Rachel's open house. Poor Claire had found out the night before about Lewis :'( so it was sad to see her in the dumps.
My mom, sisters, the babies and I went on a walk outside. Jade was in a crabby mood! I found a yellow flower and she insisted on having it. I refused to give it to her until she said please but she was equally stubborn and never did. She ended up throwing a tantrum and we left soon after. I felt kind of bad, but I don't want her to be spoiled!
Back home I apologized to Jade and explained to her why I wouldn't let her get her way and then gave her some balloons I grabbed from the party. She was still pretty mad at me so I suggested that we go outside and let the balloons go. That just about thrilled her :) We decided we were going to tell the balloons messages to give to Lewis. We went out on the trampoline and let them go. I told her how the balloons reminded me of this movie, Le Ballon Rouge, that I had watched in French class. The story is about a boy who finds a red balloon and they become friends. They have all sorts of adventures around Paris and even meet a blue balloon along the way. Overall, the balloon was happier outside and free rather than stuck inside. She loved the story and I promised we would watch the movie someday :)
Here is a clip of my favorite part :

and for you die hard fans (Kaitlin and Allie hehehe)- I found the full movie online! If you are ever in a down mood, you can watch this. I have to warn you that it is from 1956 lol. It makes me so happy!

Even later that night, I picked up Babs and we went to see Inception. It was sooo good! I was far too tired to understand the whole thing completely lol. The movie was about dreaming and I fell asleep for a hot second and dreamed about the movie so when I woke up I was just confused haha. Oh well, I had fun :)
