Kid flicks

Right footed or ambifootrous?
 Garrett puts things between his toes quite often.  Today it was a pencil. He tries to pick things up with his toes too.  I haven't paid close enough attention to know if he is only right footed.  He tends to be ambidextrous with his hands but I'm not sure if he'll be amifootrous too.
Morning movie at the mall



The kids prefer to take the escalator but since we had a stroller and I was by myself with them everyone got into the elevator.  Garrett gets a little nervous and Danika acted like she was scared but she really enjoyed the glass walled ride.
Seeing "Puss 'n' Boots"


 We bought a big tub of popcorn.  Each of the big kids had a tray to refill. The little guy was the keeper of the bucket.

 Garrett isn't quite old enough to sit for a full length feature. He and I spent about a third of the movie standing in the back of the theater until he fell asleep. Then I was able to join the kids for the final 3rd.
 We've enjoyed the Regal Family Film Festival (now called the Summer Movie Express) for many years. Since Hayden and Cam were little. It used to be free but now it's $1 per person.  A very inexpensive morning out that we could take advantage of twice a week... if not for the little guy.
Movie cutouts



The kids like to kid around at times.  Wyatt pretended to shoot and arrow at G'vieve. He missed.
Food for the family
 I'd never noticed the copper colored McDonald's arches on the front of the counter before. Danika noticed them and was down there tracing one with her finger. 
 Har got to walk over and join us for lunch. Cam did as well.  He actually walked to the mall while we were in the movie and spent some time at Barnes and Noble. 
We stopped back by there and picked up a book for him and a couple of delicious coffee beverages for Har and myself.

I think we'll make arrangements for a sitter if the kids want to see any more movies this summer.
