Today is Tim's only day off for the 4th of July holiday! What to do with our one day of family time? Go see a movie... Tim had the idea at 9:30 this morning to go as a family for the very first time and see Ratatouille at the 10:30 showing! We have put off taking Abbey to the movies because we usually want to go see something that isn't exactly kid friendly. So, instead we chose to see a animated movie that is both kid friendly and fun for adults as well. You might be asking yourself, "who would take a 20 month old to a movie, will they even pay attention?" Well, if you know our Abbey, she is quite the movie buff. She loves to sit on the couch and watch Disney movies. In fact, she almost will sit through a full movie. That is why we decided to take the chance and pay $7.00 dollars a ticket (Abbey was free because she is under 2). To our surprise, if she has a soda, popcorn, blankie and bunny... she's good to go! She enjoyed her experience, saying "whoa", laughing at one point, and even getting a little afraid at the appropriate time. She chose to sit on Daddy's lap most of the time, but occasionally would sit in her own seat or on Mommy's lap. Ratatouille is a longer kid movie, so by the end she was getting pretty restless. Never fear, with Tim taking her out to the stairs, she was fully entertained by the lights in the floor. We had fun together as a family and all in all enjoyed our first family movie going experience. P.S. "anyone can cook!" (you'll get it if you see the movie!)

That is hillarious! I am so jealous Abbey will sit through a movie. I'm glad it was fun!
Connie, good job on the hard work you have put in...I always love going to the blog as you have great taste in music.
Don't you wish you knew what Abbey was thinking? I would love to hear her tell me about the movie!
Thanks for the invite. Just kidding, I was at work! I would have gotten a kick out of Abbey chillin' at the movies, snacking on her candy and popcorn... what a cutie.
