We all went to the movies today to see Kung Foo Panda. Angus sat with Great Gran, Zac sat with his Dad and I had Poppy. Granny sat with Olivia and Kristie sat with her three and all the children were the best behaved they have ever been in a movie theatre. The movie was just the right length with just the right amount of action (a lot) to keep 2 year olds and 4 year olds interested with out too much wiggling. They were so well behaved I didn't even have to threaten them once with time out or smacks so hard they will be crying until they leave home. The movie even had a good message 'you are the secret to your success' or something like that.
After the movie back to mum's for the obligatory afternoon at Granny's for the cousin's to play together. However today we mixed it up a bit and made mum go and buy herself a new couch. She has been talking about it for 6 months and quite frankly Kristie and I were tired of it. So this afternoon we sort of ambushed mum and took her to buy a new couch. A very nice couch to be delivered in a several weeks.
It's 10pm now and I have just turned the light out on Ailish and Zac's sleep over, complete with sleeping bags and a blow up mattress.
Good night kisses for little lapland girl. Good night.

movies and sleep overs - the magic ingredients of childhood. in fact caitlin is 18 and just had a movie night and sleepover at her cousins on tuesday. some things never change.
We loved King Fu Panda! I'm sending a 'skadoosh' your way! It sounds like a great day.
I'll have to take my kids to see it. We just saw "Forbidden Kingdom" My husband is a big Jackie Chan fan. Anna (2) wandered around the theatre and "had to go potty" three times so i couldn't tell you much, but my other three said it was great.
