How To Train Your Dragon

I took the boys to the movie theatre to watch, "How To Train Your Dragon." I highly recommend this movie for little kids...well little kids that love lots of action and adventure. My kids loved it because there was a fight or an explosion or dragons every few minutes! It was super fun and cute.
We took a couple gift-cards to the theater--thank goodness because we cost 20-some bucks to get in and of course John wanted popcorn as soon as he smelled it. We also got a "small" soda--which is like 32 oz!

We took a bathroom break after about 40 minutes. This was so much work. I had to carry my purse, the boys' hoodies, and Jake if we want to get out of theater quitely. Then, after all that work of making it to the "ladies" room and back to the theater, we watched about 30 more minutes and John was ready to go. I don't know why because he loved the movie. He just gets antsy and needs to go run and shout somewhere. Overall: great kids flick, pretty good time, no tantrums! YAY!

John Mayer Concert Tonight!

I'm soooo excited!

Oscar Night!

I'm so excited for The Oscars tonight! I love movies so so so much. It is a great escape for me. Most of the movies/actors nominated are in my queue. But I did see Julie & Julia, The Hurt Locker, Inglourious Basterds, Food, Inc., District 9 and Up--because I am a SAHM I saw this one about 42 times and counting.

Chick Flick Alert! Or more like, Mom-Movie Alert!

Last night I watched the movie, "Motherhood," starring Uma Thurman as Eliza, Minnie Driver, and the guy from E.R.

Not the best movie in the world or even close, but I enjoyed it. I watched it all alone which was nice--At 11pm when the boys finally decided to catch some zzz's. :)

-The flick takes place in NYC in one single day. It's all about the dilemas of marriage, work, motherhood, to-do-lists, and trying to keep it together and not lose herself in it all.

I think Uma is brilliant. I mean, this woman can do it all. First of all she is gorgeous. "Pulp Fiction?" "Kill Bill?" "The Truth About Cats and Dogs?" "Batman & Robin?" --yes I've seen this one lately; she's the character "Poison Ivy" and John loves her--haa! As Eliza in "Motherhood," she is frazzled and sweaty and overwhelmed and yet so loving and loveable. You just feel for her throughout her rough day.
