Wall - E

Today was a great family day out and about. We had planned on going to the beach just for the day, but the cost of gas and crowds from Labor Day weekend were enough to change our minds. We opted instead to go out to see a movie with all of us together, a rare treat. We got there a bit early, so we ate lunch at McMenamins. We let the kids choose and they selected Wall-E. They had been dying to see this film all summer and thankfully it was still playing. They got to munch on popcorn and share a soda (another rare treat).

It was really a cute movie with a great message, right up there with Finding Nemo (for those Disney Pixar fans). Cars is still my favorite though. K got a little restless about halfway through, but she enjoyed herself. We had been to the movies a few different times with N, but this was our first movie outing with K. Her grandma has taken them both to see a few different animated films when they visit her, but we were excited to share this experience for the first time with her.

Afterwards, N and I both got haircuts. I just got a trim. Hubby had tried to cut N's hair a few days ago, but the result was a little scary (ala Jim Carrey's bowl cut from Dumb & Dumber). The hairdresser was able to salvage his cut and now he looks quite handsome with his shorter do. He wanted a mohawk and I definitely didn't, so I compromised a little. The hairdresser spiked it with gel and called it good. I figured he could enjoy it that way until his next shower. =P
