date night

We finally had a free night to take the boys to see Cars 2. This is the first movie we have successfully sat through without needing a bathroom break. Surprisingly, they were glued to the screen and I was the one feeling twitchy and wondering how many more explosions and car chases there were going to be before the end. I sense this is the beginning of a divide. They are entering the “boy” stage and our movie preferences are taking a sharp split, where I veer toward excitement over the new Winnie-the-Pooh movie and they watch Lion King just because the stampede is so stinkin’ cool. Fortunately, we still agree on restaurant choice.
