Family Date Day

A couple of weeks before Brooklyn was born we were able to go out on a family date.  I remember doing this with Addison before Jonas joined our family.  It's always such a fun time to share and hang out with each other before we add one more cute adorable little baby to the clan.

Off to the theater we go.  My babies look so grown up!

This weekend it was perfect timing since one of our family's favorite movies was out in theaters.  We are all fans of Monster's Inc. and the new sequel was out:  Monsters University.  I especially loved that it was G-rated so we didn't have to worry about the kids seeing or hearing anything they shouldn't be.  

I was a little skeptical at Jonas' ability to actually hold still during the movie since he rarely ever holds still.  And he's still very much an almost two-year old little boy.  However, it works out great that our kids are popcorn junkies.  They have Hufford blood coursing through their veins.  It was well worth that overpriced popcorn/soda to have something to keep them both in their seats while they munched away.  We had to come a little early to the theater so we could get decent seats.  Both because it was the movie's opening weekend and also we needed a strategy just in case Jonas did get antsy. We went in with about three different back-up plans if that was the case and luckily we didn't have to resort to any of them.  The kids did wonderfully.  Jonas was quite amazed at the whole experience since this was his first theater adventure.  They both shared a seat so they could weigh it down enough to not flop back up in their faces.  And they both munched away on the corn like they were in heaven.  So much so that we ended up needing a refill before the movie even started!  Yikes!

The movie was adorable but it was more adorable watching the kiddos enjoy it.  It was a great family date and a great way to spend one of our last weekend's as a family of four.  Jonas jumped a few times in certain parts but never once cried.  Mostly, when the monsters would have to gather screams.  I'm still amazed to this day that Jonas never once had a problem holding still.  And it was a 1 1/2 hour movie!  That boy amazes me some days.

We had a great day and can't wait to take a family date together when Brooklyn joins our family!

It's a bit blurry but look at the excitement on those faces!  Yes, Jonas was more concerned about the corn than the picture.  Are you surprised?
