Day 126. 239 Days Left: The big screen

We decided to take the kiddos to their very first movie... Cars 2.
I stocked the diaper bag with all sorts of goodies, m&m's, twizzlers, gummy bears, cookies and "fizz" (raspberry sparkling water).

They gorged themselves on popcorn and sweets. They were amazing.

Jackson feel asleep a little more than halfway through.

But woke up just in time for some cotton candy.

What a wonderfully fun afternoon and hopefully something Addison will remember.

How old were your little ones before taking them to see their first big screen movie? How did they do?

I was amazed by how well Addison and Jackson did. My kids are awesome!

A toddlers mind & Day 95. 270 Days Left

We have been on a Toy Story Marathon. The past few days Addison has insisted requested to watch Toy Story… Followed by Toy Story 2… Followed by Toy Story 3 (my favorite).

Growing up, I remember having Cabbage Patch Kids and Barbie’s. My sister and I, together, would engage in creative imaginary play… but I don't remember us playing anything like Addison.

Our Toy Story marathons have encouraged her to be more imaginative during play time.

Must say, really, really fun to watch. Her. Not the movies.

I am pretty sure Daddy and Jackson are over watching Toy Story. I know I am over the movie. But I enjoy Addison learning to use her imagination and if Toy Story helps- well so be it.

Scene 1:
“Evil Princess Monkey, Evil Dinosaur and Evil Giant Rabbit took Flower.”

Scene 2:
“My friends are going to save you Flower.”

Scene 3:
“Mommy we saved Flower.”

Scene 4:
“Oh no mommy! Evil Big Baby took my friends boat go get him Mommy! Lock him up!”

Scene 5:
“Dr. Eeyore has to check Disney Dog for a boo-boo. He has a splinter from saving Flower.”

Scene 6:
“Disney Dog needs to go get Rex to take by Dr. Eeyore. Rex has a spider bite from Evil Princess Monkey”

Scene 7:
“Everyone is all better. We are having a cupcake party. Mommy, lock up Evil Big Baby with Evil Princess Monkey.”

Note to self: Teach Addison to sit with legs closed. Had to stop and put clothes on her. still didn't seem to help.

Jackson and his new buddy

Premiere Night, Baby & Day 20. 345 Days Left.

Thursday night premiere night.

Which means the Hubby brings home dinner, no cooking, quick and easy with little to no dishes. Kids are bathed and in bed by 7pm. The hubby sits in the nursery so I can hang alone in the living room with my glass of wine (bottle snugly placed next to me)…what? at least I pour it into a glass. I am off duty between 8pm and 11pm watching my favorite line-up of shows. It is Bones, Grey’s and Private Practice premiere night baby! You can find me on the sofa… I will be folding the two loads of laundry I did today; so not entirely off duty.

And for any reason, if the kids decided to become hellions- I guess there is always the Internet.

My Confession & Day 18. 347 Days Left.

I wouldn’t admit this to just anyone...

I loved The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

If you have not seen this movie seriously watch it. It is Hilarious. Be warned it is ridiculously stupid and pointless. I really do not understand the entire movie, other than it is pee my pants funny. I mean who wouldn’t die laughing watching people getting smacked in the face with shovels coming out of the ground?

The hubby was shocked that I even went with him to watch the stupid movie.

That is his thing. Movies I hate because they are so pointless like Stepbrothers, Dumb and Dumber and The Land of the Lost (just to name a few) Not really my thing.I am a more of a romantic comedy gal. Love them. So when he asked me to go to the movies and watch what I knew was going to be completely absurd and I would hate,I was a bit hesitant. However, So glad I went. When ever it is on TV I watch it whether it is just starting, in the middle or nearing the end. I don’t pass up the chance. Why don’t I own this movie?

I would have to say this is one of my all time favs and is right up there with the Hangover.
