It's been awhile!
Thanks to our babysitting fairy! Your gift(s) are very thoughtful. On another note, I took the older kids to see The March of the Peguins, thinking that they would enjoy the film. Firstly, advertising can make things look better than they are (Duh!) and secondly, family friendly reviews aren't always a good take on a given film. The kids enjoyed the part we stayed for. It was just a little too long for them to really enjoy. It was fun starting to do more with them than change dirty diapers and put them to bed at 6:30. It is like a whole new world. I am giddy with the thought of what we can do together in another few years. Well, the summer is almost over. I hope everyone has enjoyed it as much as we have!

Ha! I actually took Anton and Dasha to see 'Penguins' too and they sure had a hard time lasting through the long ice-scape panoramas and soft music. Especially after long exciting teasers of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and Disney's "Valiant". Then we had shot after shot of what seemed to them to be the same penguin. I think 70% of the wonder of this film is in the narration of their story. So its a great family film for kids old enough to stick to Morgan Freeman's monotone narration. But I'm not so sure for the under-five crowd.
Oh Chris!! I loaugh because we really are tree huggers at heart:-)No doubt! I decided it was time to go when one mother penguin was so upset after her baby died, she tried to steal another mom's baby and the whole crowd of penguins basically pumelled her. I left with Jackson saying "Mommy why are they doing that?" and Chloe saying "Birdy this!" and then shaking her head back and forth violently. So much for a non animation kid friendly flick. I think we will stick with Kipper! Live and Learn!
Glad they still make stuff for the 10-11 year old set (besides Star Wars.)
