Movie Bust

On Saturday loaded into the car and headed out to go to dinner and see the movie Bolt. (and stop in at REI=Matt Happy). I ran into the theater to buy the movie tickets and came out empty handed because the tickets were $14.50!!!!!!! Can you believe that? I couldn't spend $90 to see a movie. So, on the way home we got a red box instead. ( That wording is for you Zac.)

Yesterday, Matt and I got a babysitter during the day for Cam and we went to see Quantum of Solace. It was fun. On the drive home he was bragging that he had some Bond driving moves. Then he said he was kinda like James Bond and I was like M! Again, can you believe that? That was great to find out that he doesn't think of me as one the beautiful Bond girls but M, the bossy old lady that's always telling him what to do.
We had a good laugh about that. I'm sure he didn't mean it rude but I still can't exactly think of how that is a good thing. I guess he loves me though, he carried this up to the top of a mountain last year.

Uncle Zac, Trains, and Cacti

The Botanical Garden in DC has the most fun train exhibit at this time of year.  We were lucky enough to have Zac visiting too!

They have models of the White House, Capital Building and the large monuments all made out of natural materials like nuts, bark, seeds, leaves...

Isn't that COOL!

Scary nutcracker faces.

Testing how sharp.

Tree Time

We found a perfect little tree at trusty old Home Depot. We would probably get a bigger one if we stayed home for Christmas, so this one was just right. The boys had more fun playing hide and seek in the tree bins and making their mom crazy. 

While Matt and I got the tree in the stand, the boys got into their new Christmas PJ's and danced and around being silly.
