Last night was "Family Night" at Curtis' preschool. The theme was "Dinner and a Movie." I was excited about dinner, and the kids were excited about the movie.
Dinner was catered by a local company, so I knew what to look forward to. I ate my 1/2 chicken, green beans, and mashed potatoes, and enjoyed every bite. Predictably, Curtis ate two pieces of bread and butter, two green beans, and two bites of chicken. Carl ate a whole chicken leg, a few bites of bread, and two bites of mashed potatoes. I ate most of Curtis' leftovers, too.
We had hoped some of Curtis' friends from his old class would be there, but unfortunately, they were not. He handled his disappointment well, though. We visited with some people we know from Sunday School.
When it was time for the movie, Curtis went right up to the front of the seating area, and chose the center spot. We watched three Veggie Tales cartoons, including "Dave and the Giant Pickle." A lot of the other kids were getting restless after the first cartoon, and many were running and jumping around by the time it was over. Not my boys! Both sat completely enthralled by the moving pictures on the giant screen. Only when it was over did they start to run around and get wild. I don't know whether to be proud of their attention span or embarrassed by how much they love television.
Our little family had a nice evening out.
