Finn's First Movie

Yesterday I took Finn out for his first movie in a movie theatre.  We choose Winnie the Pooh as he loves Pooh Bear and the movie was listed as 70 minutes long.  At first we thought Reid would be able to join us, and then he wasn't going to make it, and then he was, and then finally while standing in line to buy tickets we found out he wasn't coming.  I was anxious about handling the two boys by myself, but it worked out well.  We bought popcorn and a drink and then settled ourselves in.  The movie actually seemed even shorter than 70 minutes and we were really only there for about 80 minutes total (previews included).  Finn did really well and sat on my lap for almost the entire length of the film.  The last 15 minutes or so he decided he needed to stand up and so he did so, but he continued watching through the cracks in the seats in front of him.  He was also pretty quite (for Finn) and only exclaimed once during a scary part.  Of course, after every preview he would turn to me and say "What's that?", but that stopped once Pooh Bear came on.  Overall, it was a really good experience and I would even consider doing it again.  It would just have to be the right movie.

At the movie.  Don't mind me, we ran out of the house so fast I didn't have time to do my make-up.  Also, what color would you say Finn's eyes are?  You can see that I have brown eyes and in Kai's picture you clearly see blue.  But what color are Finn's??

I see green. It's a very beautiful color whatever you call it.

I love the Pooh bear movies. Maybe I'll take my boys next week when the older ones go back to school.
