Summer movie crop thoughts

Welp, since we've lost our babysitter (wailing, gnashing of teeth, writhing in agony), it looks like our summer entertainment will consist of a LOT of kid movies.

We used to do cool things on dates.  One time (many many many moons ago), Mark rented a limo for our anniversary date.  We ate at a swanky restaurant and then had the limo drop us off to see "Nacho Libre."  Tee hee!  I thought that was sooooo very awesome.  NOT the movie, but going to a movie like that in a limo.  And THEN we had the limo take our babysitter home.  Coolest people EVER to babysit for, yes we were!  For one night, anyway. Hey, Cayleigh, will you stay if we rent limos to take you home in?  We'll do it!  DONE!!

"When you are a man, sometimes you wear stretchy pants in your room.  It's for fun."

Another time, we went to a Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert.  Our babysitter at the time, Kelsey, commented "I can't wait until I get married and go on cool dates like you guys do."  Well, THAT date about 7 years ago was the last cool thing we did.  Eating dinner at Chilis and going to a bad movie is NOT cool.  Especially if you do it 10 meeeeeellion times.

Anyway, enough of the reminiscing about when we used to be cool.  *sigh*

Noah and Shelby are excited to see Ice Age.  Sequel number 923 I believe?  UGH.  They'll see it with Daddy.  I do NOT do kid movies.  Maybe if I'm desperate enough for Diet Coke or popcorn, though, I could be convinced.

Even crummier photo from phone

The exception to kid movies for me are the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series.  I find these stinkin' hilarious, probably because Mark has always told me that I have the sense of humor of a 12-year old boy (he DOES have to see every Adam Sandler movie with me).  However, since I still have some responsible Mommy in me, if my kids ever actually did any of the Wimpy Kid stunts I would go TOTALLY Chuck Norris on them (paying homage to Mr. Norris since Connor is currently obsessed with him, no idea why).

My phone's camera blows

I'm thinking Rock of Ages is NOT a 4-year old age appropriate movie.  Darnit.  We saw the musical in Vegas a few years back and it....well, it rocked!  Oh, and hey, that's cool date number 3.  My mistake - so, we're at 19 years of marriage and THREE cool dates.  THAT MATH *STILL* STINKS, MARK.

I need a new phone with a better camera

And Shelby, my dear little cherub, this is NOT the first time your father will embarrass you (or me) in public.  Sorry for that very bad news.  (love her face here)

Probably just as well I have a bad phone camera. 
This photo probably should NOT be in focus and perfectly lit...just sayin'
