Today we ventured out to see a movie! We called up Holly and her kids, Mechelle and the boys, and grandma and met down at the Junction to see The Tale of Despereaux! Back in August the girls and I read the book and absolutely LOVED it! When we found out they were turning the book into a movie we were so excited to see it! The girls talk about it all the time! Hannah actually thought we had missed our opportunity to see it because on the radio she heard an ad and it said "The Tale of Despereaux in theaters this Friday" so on Saturday she got all sad and said "Mom, we missed our chance to see Despereaux...it was in theaters Friday, not today!" I explained to her that it was still in theaters and that we would go see it soon. Well, today was the day! I decided we didn't have any other plans and the girls needed a little cheering up (sadness fell over our home last night as the girls learned that Grandma and Grandpa Peterson weren't able to make it up for Christmas!)
The movie was really good (I still liked the book better, but isn't that how it always is?) It was a cute show! The girls really enjoyed it and the message of the movie was great! I would recommend the movie (and the book) well worth seeing (and reading) although it's kind-of annoying to me how they make the rodents in these movies (and books) so dang cute when in reality rodents are EVIL, PURE EVIL!!!!
