Enchanted

I wasn't expecting much when Laiken and I picked up Adrienne this morning and headed to the theater so that we could see Enchanted. We met Monica and Kaitlin there and, in my head, we were going because the girls wanted to go--I didn't anticipate being really entertained.

Go see this movie! All right, I am by no means a movie critic and I really don't see many movies, and a lot of the movies that I do see are intended for a much younger audience, but take my word for it--this is a funny, touching movie. Monica and I laughed through most of it and the parts that weren't funny were so emotionally touching that the scenes would bring a few tears to your eyes. I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed it. The movie has so much to say about choosing to feel potential pain and anger in order to have a real meaningful relationship with another person; but, that message is mixed with all of these funny and ironic moments about the disparity between the fairy tale world and the real world. It's really good--grab your kid or borrow a kid and go and see it.

After the movie and lunch, the girls spent the afternoon jumping on the trampoline, playing Kaitlin's Wii, and putting on a "fashion show." This is a great blackmail photo for when they are older....
