Toy Story 3, fun for Moms and Tots!
Sesame Street Live, totally NOT!
Seriously though, if you don’t have a kid, borrow one and go see Toy Story 3. Really worth it. I know it’s a sequel’s sequel and those normally suck, but this one was really good. The bad guy gave me goosebumps. Ken was introduced (to Barbie that is) and that whole interaction had me bursting at the seams. Oh! Oh! and Buzz Lightyear goes on Spanish mode and that had me laughing so hard I was crying. They stole liberally from The Brave Little Toaster, but since I LOVED that movie, I was a-ok with it. The girls were mesmerized by the whole thing (except for the scary trash, that part was pretty scary and Seporah was REALLY worried). I’ve never taken the girls to see a movie twice in theaters, but I’m thinking about taking them again with Steven in a couple of weeks, since we enjoyed it so much and he didn’t see it.
And the sucky one: The girl’s read lots of Sesame Street books, but have never seen the show, so mainly the only characters they knew were Elmo, Cookie Monster and Big Bird (and Cookie Monster’s costume was so scary, I didn’t even recognize him). Seporah looked bored to tears and kept asking to go home (in all honesty I was kinda right up there with her). And EVERY time Elmo stepped off the stage, Felicity freaked out, Where’s Elmo? Where’s Elmo?!?! I kept on saying he had to pee-pee in the potty, then Felicity got smart and said she had to go. I told her she wouldn’t see Elmo there though because Elmo goes in the boy bathroom. Not worth the time or money.
Dad and I are SO going to see that movie this week (we both worked this weekend). We were already looking forward to it, but now more so since you liked it so much.
Love you,
Mom
