Cinema Win

Last summer, I tried to take the girls to a feature length film. On my own. With a friend and her twins. It was a bust. We were too late, it was too crowded, the seats were too close to the front (they were the front), the screen was too high, the kids were too wild... We lasted 10 minutes.

Six months later, I was ready to try again.

We planned a fun morning that started with breakfast at our fav place, Trudy's, and then a movie.

The Princess and the Frog.

The girls entertained everyone in earshot. Em dubbed the girl busing our table a princess. She had a cute head wrap on that must have looked tiara-ish to Em. She called her "Princess Lady" each time the girl came by.

Roo and Em could not wait to get to the theater. They be-bopped in like they owned the place, settled into their booster seats and got to work on the popcorn. After each preview, Roo loudly asked, "What's next?". When the film started, the Disney castle at the beginning got such rave reviews, I thought there might be no where to go but down afterwards! But, they loved it.

Roo made 3 potty trips, took off her shoe and dropped it into the row below us. Em dropped her sippy cup and it joined Roo's shoe. A lot of musical chairs ensued. Em narrated the events to the people behind us several times. And there was much singing and dancing along with all the jazzy musical numbers.

They were adorable and so much fun to share this first with today.

Thanks, Em and Roo for making the movies fun again.
