movies!

i'm fairly sure i failed to document this anywhere. in december, jameson, natalia and i saw our first movies (in the theater) together.

the first one we saw was "the chipmunks" on the day before christmas eve 2009 (i guess that would be december 23rd!). the kids liked it, for the most part. jameson thought it was cool til he realized about 3/4 of the way through that there were no trucks, cranes, or planes and got a bit antsy. natalia was completely engrossed because she had a tub of popcorn in front of her that she shoveled into her mouth the entire time. i'm not sure i'd have had any luck with her without that popcorn!

the second movie was "the princess and the frog" on new year's eve 2009 (yes, only a week later).

natalia loved it. papa, auntie amanda and uncle aaron were there to share it with her, so she thought that was pretty darned cool. jameson was less than impressed with a "princess" movie - again with no moving vehicles of any kind. he was ok with the crocodiles, so he sat "ok" through the show. i thought this one was a darned good movie! ;)

we saw our 3rd movie on saturday. i thought it was supposed to be unseasonably hot here and i don't do well with hot. neither does jameson. turns out it was only 80-ish, but the kids were nearly killing each other in the house while jim was cutting the lawn that i needed to find a good distraction. so, on may 22nd, i took them to see "how to train your dragon". it was SUCH a cute movie! grandma sherry joined us and natalia appreciated that as she got a little wiggly toward the last 1/3. despite the non existence of cars/trucks/construction vehicles, jameson was impressed. probably the boats helped. it was way cute. the kids tried to explain all the details to jim when we got home.

course, nothing topped the fender-bender that occurred today where they got to see fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars.

who needs to pay money for entertainment?! silly mommy!
