Toy Story 3

For the first time ever I did something I hadn't done before. Something absolutely crazy...

I took all 4 of my kids to the movies.

Not crazy you say?

It is when you decide to go and no one has had a nap, and it's your 2 year olds very first time to the movies EVER, and it's right before dinnertime which means dinner will have to wait until afterward, and you have to carry your infant in a wrap the whole time and are not sure how that will go.And did I mention I was doing this ALONE?

Yeah I am a wild like that. After being in the house doing nothing all day it was a good spontaneous thing to do.

So we all hopped into our car and off we went. Luckily Diego and Alayna are very helpful and the outing was very smooth.



Upon telling my children what movie we were going to see Alayna shouted, "Yay Toy Story! I wanna be the cowgirl!"

But Diego... oh Diego... all he could say was...

"Didn't we already see Toy Story 3?"

"No we haven't... it just came out!" I said excitedly. Hey I've been looking forward to this movie. I know the other 2 by heart.

"Yes we did." He said. "Remeber that one day..." as he continues with his attempt to remind me we've seen a movie I for a fact know we have not seen. I interrupt him...

"No, son. We have NOT."

"But Mom remember when..." Blah blah blah still trying to convinve me...

"That was Toy Story 2 duh!" I said now annoyed. Annoyed because he should know the difference. There was a difference!

"Toy Story 2? Oh well... it's the same thing."

"What?" I screamed!
"It is not the same thing! This is Toy Story 3!"

He looked at me a little confused and a little like he didn't really see the difference and importance here.

"Toy Story 3 Son! I've waited 11 years for this movie!"

All I got was another strange uninterested look.

"You don't understand, Andy is going to college! The toys...!"

"Who is Andy? I thought it was about Buzz and Woody?"

::facepalm::

Why do I even bother?

So we just walked in silence to wait for our movie. And we posed for pictures around the theater. It's what we do. Mama needs pictures to remember all this precious time together.





And without any spoilers the movie was great! I really hope they don't go crazy and try to make a 4th one because this was just the perfect movie to close them with.

When it was over I got up and clapped... and Diego turned to me and said...

"Mom are you crying?"

"No son."

"I saw you wiping your eyes I thought..."

"No son, it's my allergies."

"Your allergies? But we've been inside and it's not windy."

"Well I poked my eye then."

"I think you're lying but.. okay."


Yes it was that good.
