Movie Time!

This is the kids' makeshift movie theater! Since my laptop is out of commission, I am working from our home pc and that was a way to entertain them for a while. They are watching Horton. We already played train and elevator with the couch cushions. It has been an adventurous day!

Shrek Final Chapter

Since we changed our minds on heading up to my family reunion this weekend, we decided we better do something fun with the kids. On Friday night Mason kept talking about a movie theater, so we let them sit on our bed and watch Snow White while eating popcorn. On Saturday, we attempted to take them to a real movie theater! We've tried taking Mason only twice before--once when he was just over 1 and once when Tristyn was a baby. Both times he got distracted and wanted to run around the theater, so we ended up leaving early. This time he did AWESOME! He watched most of the movie and ate a lot of popcorn. Tristyn was a little scared by the loud speakers and fell asleep for a while on my lap, but woke up for the last half and enjoyed all but the fiery dragon! It was cute when Shrek roared really loud, Mason said he was using his 'big voice'. Not sure if he learned that at preschool or daycare! As always, both kids danced and sang through the final credits. I think that's their favorite part of every movie! Over all I'd say it was a success and I have no reservations about taking them to other shows (other than the cost to get 4 of us in--we may have to stick with the dollar theater)! Mason is already excited about seeing Toy Story 3, so I'm sure that's next! Yeah for popcorn and movies and family nights out!
