So we went to the movies............

We took Boots to his very first movie. Out side of our living room, he hasn't actually been to a movie yet. He has been talking non-stop about going to see Over the Hedge for a few weeks now. So on Sat. we packed up the fam and off to the movies we went. Can I just tell you that it was freakin' hillarious! We love when children's movies are entertaining for them and for us. Anyone that has ever sat through something like a Hamtaro movie, in all it's brain numbing glory, can tell you that that movie had no redeeming qualities for adults or children, no matter how much rhyming there is. When you can't even handle the theme song you know it's bad. It's ingenious on the part of the producers and directors of children's movies to think about the parents that are going to be driving to and paying for their children to see the movie. I will gladly hand over my money to any company that makes it tolerable for me to sit there for two hours while my child is being entertained.

It was refreshing to watch something so entertaining for everyone. People say you relive stuff through the eyes of your children, I can tell you that is absolutely true. I had completely forgotten how exciting it is to walk down that hallway, through the tunnel of huge movie posters on either side. To climb those steep steps to get to the center isle, sit in a darkened theatre and see all of the previews, his eyes got bigger with each one. There was so much to get excited about ! To see his eyes light up when I handed him his own bag of popcorn and his own pink lemonade was priceless. He kept looking to Little P to see what she was doing, whom is an old pro at this movie stuff. Or so she informed him when she was telling him where to get the best seat. It made for a very fun afternoon. And very animated dinner conversation that night.

Hope you all get to enjoy it too!
