Last Night!

Last night was a great night. JR, Logan and I headed to Galveston - we went to JR's mom's house and ate pizza - and I had a GIANT piece of Chocolate cake ---not for me, for Little Lady Luck!---Then Carol watched Logan for us, while we went to see The Hangover. We have both been very exctied about seeing the movie. Once we got there I saw NACHOS - which seems to be a week spot for me. Its something about the cheese - although I was dissapointed in the extremely salty chips and the fact that there weren't any jalepenos. Anyway, so even though I ate so much at Carol's, I went on to eat EVEN MORE! Ha oh well! The movie was hilarious! Definitely one of the top 5 most funniest movies I have ever seen! Maybe even the top 3! I honestly dont remember the last time I have gone to the theater....it has been a while though! I am really excited that Logan is getting to a point that I think I might be able to take him to see a movie. Every night before bed, we tuck him in, and put on a movie. He has yet to watch one beginning to end...but I am thinking of trying it out one day. Actually, that isn't true - he has watched an entire baby einstein - but they are only 30 minutes long - so it doesn't really qualify! Anyway, I am going to buy him a few movies today...the only he has is Shrek 2 and 3 (but that is 3D) and 2 Baby Einsteins and Happy Feet...so my plan is to get him some Little Einsteins and a couple of Disney movies! My sisters kids could watch movies from the time they wake up until the time they go to sleep, but I have never wanted that for Logan. While it is nice to sit them in front of a TV so that you dont have to do anything with them, I dont see that as parenting! I enjoy reading with him, and watching his little imagination grow. I like playing with him and jumping over obstacles and making a "reading tent" or sitting in the "imagination chair" We do all kinds of fun things - and when I dont feel like being super active, I take him outside and get in the pool. That way I dont have to use my head to much and I can relax a little while he plays. I play with him in the pool, but he can get out and play cars in the yard or in the shade tent. However, I do want to try the whole movie thing - It might be nice to get him to watch a movie in his room while mommy cleans the kitchen. I dont know, its a thought! I go back and forth on this. He can play with certain things for hours on end - baseballs, cars....so I am going to get the movie Cars and try to find something with baseball. It would be nice if the disney movie weren't so long. Maybe I can find a movie that is only 45 min- an hour. Or I could split the movie in half....The first half during the day, the second at night time??? I dont know, I just hate the idea of my kids sitting in front of a television all day! Any thoughts???
