Quick funny story, we have been waiting for weeks for Cars (the new Disney movie to come out) the trailer has been on Ben Michael’s toy story video for the last year. Disney knows how to market-anyway- Michael takes them tonight- 2 people warned me it that it is really long- so when they left- i made a mental note that i would walk up to the theatre in about an hour to see if Eli was enjoying the movie or driving everyone in the place crazy- well at about 7:25pm- michael calls- “come get eli” – 5 minutes into it – and he was out the door ready to come home. Poor thing, when I went to get him he boo hood all the way- “I want daddy”- we had quality mom and eli time played outside a bit- then  bath and books- and miles joined after a short nap!! One great thing about this small town- is first, we do have a theatre- one screen, and the place is always empty- and we usually know half of the people in the room- so if the kids walk up and down the isle- not the biggest deal in the world! and it is two blocks from house, easy come easy go home! did i mention it is cheaper than movies elsewhere? i think $6 a movie, maybe more. maybe i made that up, to make it sound really good!! has anyone seen prairie home companion?? it is coming next week, based off the NPR radio show, that is based off a fictional minnesota town, like the one we live in. should be interesting.
