On Saturday, November 22 our realtor, Rainmaker Properties, hosted a client appreciation event at the local theater featuring Madagascar 2.  This was the first time for Victoria, Isaac and Dylan to see a movie at a theater.  And I think it was the first time that I had seen a movie in a theater since Dylan was born over five years ago.  Ji Seon recently got to see a movie at a theater during a women’s night out but before that I think the last time was also before Dylan was born.

We arrived right at 10:30 AM as the invite said and realized immediately our mistake.  The theater was already almost completely full and we ended up sitting in the second row.  I ended with a sore back from looking up at the screen.

Lunch was hamburger and hot dogs with cookies and chips.  There was a raffle and we are hoping to win the 32″ LCD TV.

We were wondering how the kids would do because normally they don’t like watching movies, they find them a little scary.  They prefer more innocent fare like Dora, Cyberchase, Sid the Science Kid, Dragon Tales, and Raggs.  Dylan did just fine though he sat on my lap at the beginning with Isaac.  Isaac found some of the parts scary.  Victoria was not happy at all with being in a dark theater and Ji Seon had to take her outside and strolled her until she slept.  Isaac later left me to look for Ji Seon.  And at the end of the movie Victoria woke up so I took care of her while Isaac and Ji Seon returned to catch the last ten minutes.

Overall though it was a good time and I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.  Isaac and Dylan loved the song “I Like to Move It, Move It” and you will sometimes hear Isaac singing it.

Last Tuesday, November 18 I thought I would take Dylan out to dinner.  Isaac wanted to come too so I took both of them.  We went to Chili’s because Dylan’s preschool last year gave him a coupon for a free kid’s meal.

The boys got in our Burley bike trailer and I rode to Chili’s.  When we got there they were very excited about ordering from the menu.  Dylan ordered a hamburger and mashed potatoes with lemonade.  Isaac ordered a corn dog and french fries with lemonade.

During the middle of the meal Dylan needed to go to the bathroom so I took him and Isaac came along.  In the bathroom the music being played was The Rockafeller Skank which I first heard in She’s All That.  Dylan and Isaac started dancing to the music and having a great time.  Isaac exclaimed “This music makes me move!”

I don’t think we will go to Chili’s again because the service was not very good. But we did enjoy the music.

Monday morning when Isaac woke up he had a hoarse voice.  Ji Seon said when Dylan lost his baby voice it started with him being hoarse.  I was surprised by how sad I was that Isaac was losing his cute, high pitched, baby voice.  Also it seemed like he was speaking in more complete sentences so I started thinking “Where did my baby boy go?”

Fortunately later in the day his baby voice came back.

Okay Isaac didn’t really spell his name but he got close.  In this Mickey Mouse parade computer game you have to enter your name before you can continue so Isaac spelt “saac”.  Not bad for a three year old of lazy parents who don’t teach him anything.  And they say computer games are bad?

Update: Ji Seon just told me that Isaac actually knew how to spell Dylan’s name before his own.  He loves Dylan so much.
