Movies!

We finally made it to the movies!! (Remember last summer's attempt lasted 5 seconds into the previews before we went screaming and yelling out of the theatre!?)

This year's attempt didn't start off well - I didn't think they were actually going to enter the dark scary place. But the arrival of Van gave them safety in numbers!!

That's a really BIG TV, Mom!!

Thankfully, no surround sound to scare the ba-jeebies out of them. They did great! Their first movie experience was "Horton Here's a Who." Or at least the first 1 hour of it! But we're giving them credit for the whole thing!

Now, for your viewing pleasure, here is The Anatomy of a Group shot:

Step 1: Yell, "Okay, group hug! Get together, boys!"

Step 2: Get the boys to stay in the photo shooting area by gently pushing, er, urging them to stay put.



Step 3: When you see what's about to happen say, "Too much hugging, gentle, gentle...."



Step 4: Laugh hysterically when it happens anyway....


Step 5: Give the Mommies what they want...

All three boys looking at the camera....and smiling...and no, that's not a choke hold!

Thanks Van and Tracey for another great, fun day!!
