A Mid-Summer's Mid-Morning Movie

Monday was a first for the girls - their first movie in the theater! Our local movie theater has kids' matinees all summer, and this week they're showing Puss in Boots. So on Monday morning, we skipped our usual Dora the Explorer habit and headed out to the theater.

(It was kind of windy, so I couldn't get them to look at me for a nice picture.)

Although they were a little nervous going in, both Abby and Nora quickly decided that the giant screen was great. Poor Nora doesn't weigh enough to keep the seat down, though, so she spent most of the movie on my lap. When we got out, they both agreed that this was a pretty great experience and wanted to know when we could go again. Success!

I (Adam) also just wanted to note that Abby completely finished potty training the other day. Given her love of ice cream it seemed the only appropriate celebration.

(I think/hope the sun is in her eyes here.)

And, just to record for posterity that I'm not completely incompetent in the kitchen I thought I would show everyone the key lime pie I made for dessert the other night. Abby loved it, she apparently has my love of tangy desserts.
