the lego movie

for weeks and weeks, mason has been asking almost daily to see the lego movie. our last attempt at taking everyone to the theater didn't work out very well because the movie was too "scary" (cars 2) and we had to leave. we just aren't willing to make that kind of an investment for a few hours at the movies. it is more economical to just wait and buy the dvd.

we pre-ordered the lego movie dvd a while ago, but i have been watching for it to be playing at the 'dollar' theater because mason asks about it so much. he is always saying things like, "when are we going to see the lego movie? because some kids in my class have already seen it." when he asked me again yesterday on our 'date,' i looked at the theater again and saw that it was playing!

today was the day! we took the kids to a late afternoon showing and didn't tell them where we were going until we got there. i should have gotten a video because they gave a better reaction about being there to see the lego movie than they were when we rolled into disney world!

they were just so excited! and they were glued to the screen the second we sat down. we could barely get them to pass the popcorn. manning made it about halfway through the movie before he started checking out the spring action seat and running up and down our row of seats a little. he was actually very quiet the whole time. after climbing on the seats for a while he sat on my lap and feel asleep. maddux had already fallen asleep, but he did wake up again towards the end and was, very thankfully, not upset that he had missed some of the movie.

the review was that the movie was "awesome!" they said that there were a few 'scary' parts and want to see it again.

thank you 'dollar' theater for a fun family afternoon! love.
