Popcorn, 3D, and a nap

We went to see Cars 2 this past weekend. From the sounds of it, we weren't the only family to enjoy this cinematic treasure. We even went all out and did something we have never done before, 3D!! I tell you what, that 3D is something. I didn't think it would be that cool, but boy howdy is it fun.

We have been talking about it for quite some time. In fact, we had it hanging over C-man's head for the entire last week. "If you don't eat your supper, we aren't going to Cars 2. If you don't listen to me, then we aren't going to Cars 2. If you hit Sissy one more time, we aren't going to Cars 2." We are so mean.

The kids have been on Cars 2 countdown. Every day last week, C-man asked if we could go see the car show. Sissy would give him the countdown. Then he would hang his head and pout when she told him that today wasn't the day and that he still had to wait. When Saturday finally rolled around one of the first things out of his mouth was, "Are we going to the car show today?"

Once he was told that today was indeed the magical day that we would go to see Cars 2, he was ecstatic. He was ready to go. He was craving the movie theater popcorn and desperately wanted to see Mater and Lightning McQueen. We ran into one teensy little problem. Movie time was at 1:30. Nap time is at 1:30. We figured he would stay awake to watch the movie.

After stuffing handfuls of popcorn in his little mouth, I noticed his head was nodding. I kept tickling him so that he would stay awake, but I failed. The little guy passed out halfway through the movie. We watched the rest of the movie and he woke up for the very end. We all enjoyed our family outing. I am certain that we will have a new movie to add to our kid's movie collection when it comes out on DVD.

Ka-chow,
