Sunny 9 for 2007 July 19 (entry 0)

(1) Thu Jul 19 2007 14:40 It's been awhile: Since I have done a movie review. Aaron and I have been lucky enough to have seen 2 movies this past week. The first one we saw was Harry Potter on opening day. Aaron called me up last Wed saying he wanted to go and to get a babysitter. I really wasn't in to mood to get all dressed up (because I don't wear make-up unless I leave the house) and go to the movie last minute. I like looking forward to things, but Aaron knows best and I really did enjoy myself and am glad he insisted we see it opening day. I really only agreed because Jake and Erin were coming with us so I knew it would be fun and we sneaked in pints of Cold Stone for the show.

I was pretty skeptical of the movie because I love the books and I think the movies are terribly lame. Even the 4th movie which was better than the first 3, was still LAME. Maybe it is because it isn't the actors first time around the block but I really enjoyed it and recommend it.

Second, Aaron and I took Lily and Gunnar to Rattatouille at mom's invitation. Lily sat through about half of it pretty good, a quarter of it ok, and the end not at all. Gunnar was really good the entire time. I probably wouldn't have picked the movie, but since mom invited us, we saw it. I really like it. It was really cute. I sorta missed the climax and so I didn't get to enjoy it like I would have if I watched it without kids but it was cute. I think we will wait another 6 months to try out a theater again with Lily. last time it was Cars and it lasted about 10 minutes. At least we were able to stay the whole time through this one.

Gunnar is pretty much crawling now. He has been able to get around for weeks scooting but not really a controlled one leg in front of the other and alternating hands thing. A funny thing happened yesterday morning. When he wakes up at 6:30 (he rarely wakes up after then) I usually put him in the bouncy seat so I can get a little bit more sleep until he starts fussing. Well, yesterday morning I heard him fussing and I got up to go get him and he was at the side of my bed on hands and knees staring up at me. It was so cutie. I guess he wriggled off the bouncy seat and crawled over to me. He's actually been laying on the floor several times by the bouncy seat too when he starts fussing. Geez mom, ever hear of the buckle?

And Lily the other day said something funny. On one of her toys there is the Yankee Doodle song. She wanted to sing it and said to me, "Let's sing Macaroni Cheese-O song".

I remember when Lily flipped her bouncer over when you were showering. I started buckling Maggie in because she flings and flails so much I thought she was going to shot-put herself out of it.
