First Movie in a Theater!!

Yesterday I decided to take DJ to the movies for the first time! He got a gift card to the movies for his birthday and I figured it was a great day to go!

Every time the Puss in Boots movie trailer came on the tv, he would get so excited! So I asked him what movie he wanted to see, of course he said Puss in Boots! So we got ready and then we were off to the movies!!

When we got to the theater, I got him a kid pak {popcorn, soda & fruit snack} and me a soda. We got our stuff and headed in. We picked up a booster seat for him and got him situated in his seat, popcorn in lap and he was good to go!

In the beginning, he said it was a little loud but nothing bad. Once the movie started, he was glued to the screen. He would laugh at the funny parts and tell me about what was going on.. Lol all in all, he did amazing!! I thought he would have wanted to get up and move around or leave, but he stayed seated! He got up 3 times because his booster seat was sliding and his butt was getting sore... LoL

So his first time at a movie was perfect!! I am so proud he did so well :) Next Sunday, I am taking Reagan to Build A Bear for her late birthday present :) Yay!!

Don't forget about my Photo Calendar Giveaway!! Six more days!!

the perfect pictures for each of the different calendars.

Things have been so busy these past few weeks. The holidays are fast approaching, plans are being made and I haven't even started Christmas shopping {gasp, I know!} I have one thing for both DJ and Reagan, but that's it. I usually do all of my shopping on Black Friday, and will more than likely do it in a few weeks..

I'm still not ready.

I had DJ and Reagan go through the Toys r Us website and point to what they liked.. They must have picked out at least fifty things.. lol There are a few things that I definitely am getting them. They need some learning toys since DJ will be entering Kindergarten and Reagan will be in her 2nd year of Preschool. The kids love to learn and I love it!!

Here are a few things I would like to get them!!

Playskool Poppin' Park Elefun Busy Ball Popper..

Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn - Learning Puppy..
