More and More movies!

Seems this is the week we watch movies in all the different ways possible. Today I took Jasmine to Kingstowne to see Ant Bully. For those of you who don't already know, this movie theater shows free movies each week (for 8 weeks) in the summer and I only found out about it last week! So I took her last week to see Jimmy Neutron and this week to Ant Bully - next week is the last week and they will be showing Clifford. I will take her then too! It is great - I buy her the $1 popcorn and the $1 soda (she likes Sprite) and she sits in the booster seat and watches the movie. She gets restless during the last 15 minutes but I manage to get her to stay seated! Anyhow today we took Abuela Meme with us and went to Pizzeria Uno for lunch afterwards. None of us had pizza!

Screen on the Green!



Monday night we went downtown for Screen on the Green - an annual tradition we have and this year we have only managed to make it once, but hopefully we will go for the last one in 2 weeks as they are showing Casablanca and Sabrina has never seen it! We went with our friend The Childs. It was a great time - we ate our picnic dinner (which we purchased from Chicken Out) and enjoyed each others company until the movie started around 9 PM. Jasmine was a little restless at first being outside and all and we were trying to get her to sit down. But as the night wore on, she settled and had a nice time. We saw Wait Until Dark - an older movie with Audrey Hepburn being a pretty convincing blind lady.

The Whole Gang!

The cutest part was that after the movie, we packed up our things (chairs, blankets, little cooler) and Jasmine demanded to carry her pink chair. You see, we have special screen on the green chairs (we specifically bought them for this event that we go to yearly - it makes all the difference to having to sit on the ground). She slung it on her shoulder and walked several blocks all the way to the car. It was not cute however when she threw a massive temper tantrum when we packed the chair back into the car and she didn't want to go home and screamed for her pink chair!

Wait Until Dark is one of those movies that I have seen before, but I still jump at the most suspenseful moments, despite my best efforts not to.
