Fun in the Backyard Pool

Our Movie Adventure

We went to the movies a while back to catch one of the free family features only to find out that they were sold out. The only other kid's movie out was UP in 3D, so I decided to fork over the money (3D movies are expensive btw- those glasses are not free- thank goodness TJ was)....

So here's how it went...

-The kids spent a lot of time covering their eyes to not be scared of the pack of vicious dogs and the evil man with a sword.

-Alli kept commenting on how loud it was and that they should really turn it down.

-Alli did not want to wear her giant 3D glasses and so I worried about that fact that she was staring at a fuzzy screen the whole time.

-I cried a few times about the man's deceased wife.

-And TJ BALLED when the man finally let his house go with all the memories of his wife (wow- I never thought he understood the plot as much as he did or was so emotionally invested in it).

All that being said, we stayed for the entire movie enjoying our popcorn and snacks, had a great time and would highly recommend the movie (unless of course your kids are afraid of dogs). It was a really touching story and a fun little family adventure.

You Don't See It

TJ approached me as a I was checking emails at the computer with the chocolate syrup and a cup in his hands and requested chocolate milk. As I followed him to the kitchen, he said...

"Don't see that spill, mom"

"Uh oh," I thought.

"Did you spill something, TJ?"

"No, momma, don't see the spill. You don't see it momma."

But I did see it- milk on the floor in front of the fridge.

It was a nice try, but the power of suggestion was not enough. He's going to have to get a little more creative hiding his oops in the future.
