Friday Fun

Last night we took the girls out for a surprise. They knew nothing of what we were about to do. Questions were asked and ignored and we parked the car in our local town.

We then walked towards the chippy (part of our treat) but the kids decided they wanted KFC instead (it was next door) and as we ate they kept on asking more questions but our lips were sealed.

We left KFC and walked slowly towards the CINEMA!

The Muppets were showing and we thought it would be a great treat for both of them to see it. Car got so excited about it and then bless her got scared. It was obviously dark in the cinema and we had an issue with her and the chair. It seems that she didn't way enough to stop the fold down chair from folding back up. In the end I had to wedge her coat down it and sit with my leg pushing it down!

 Both girls sat patiently eating their popcorn waiting for the film to start. Car jumped a bit when the first sound came out of the screen (I think the sheer noise surprised her). They sat through the many adverts and then the trailers. It was decided that the next film we'd go to see would be The Pirates: In an Adventure with Scientists (which looks very funny!) and then the interval came so the kids had some ice cream each.


The lights dimmed again for the second time and we all got very excited as the film seemed about to start. But no we got one more surprise a Toy Story short - and I managed to find a clip for you all:

When the short finished the excitement grew as The Muppets began. Both the girls loved the film and although I thought that Neb wouldn't like some of it - lots of cheesy singing - he had a big smile all the way through. Some of the best moments for me weren't from the film but Car when she :

1) shouted loudly - Daddy there's Miss Piggy you fancy her  (accompanied by titters from the rest of the cinema) and 2) her dancing on my lap and then getting up and dancing in front of us.

It was great watching The Muppets especially for us oldies who remembered it on telly. We would definitely recommend going to see it over half term and if you're worried that your 4year old won't sit still and talk then worry not - mine was laughing most of the way through!

And just for you, here's the trailer:
