Movie Night

Doug just took the boys to 'kids night out' up at the school and we are going to go see No Country for Old Men! About once a month the junior high kids offer a kids night out (read: Parents Night Out) and we always take the kids up there. One of the things that happens when you don't have family in town is that you rarely get out - or it's a big production to get out. So, when the school offers the night out (as a fundraiser) we take them up on it!

It's a CIRCUS theme and Doug just had to say something about clowns, causing Wilbur to rail against the whole idea. I don't blame him, I don't like clowns either. They scare me and they scare Wilbur!

I picked them up from school and got them all full o' fat with McDonalds and then they go back up to school with all their friends and we get to go see a movie.

We are really excited to see this film, and we'd like to see Juno and the film with Phillip Seymour Hoffman (is it Savages?)...

Emery also told me that next week on American Idol Miley Cyrus will be on. He asked me if I knew who that was... I said, "Hannah Montana?" and he said, "The VOICE of Hannah Montana. Always has to get more specific.

We are just at that age with Em where cultural relevance is very important.

I am almost finished with Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, which Lisa lent me. A very good read by Lisa See.

This weekend Emery is going on his first real sleepover. Very exciting. I am going to drop him off at his best friend's house tomorrow at noon. Hopefully it will go well.
