Movie Night

Matt and I have this amazing media room in our home. It has a huge screen and projector, it's made to look like a mini theater...with theater-type lights and everything. It truly feels like we are at the movies when we are up there. When we were looking for a new home to buy after we found out we were pregnant with twins- we had a hard time finding a house that met our needs. The main one being that we needed a house with at least 2 bedrooms downstairs, so we didn't have to put the nursery or our master upstairs, and an office for Matt. There are other things we wanted and didn't get...but this is one of the only houses we found that would work....in the area we wanted to live. And? It just happened to have this amazing media room. More of a perk for Matt, but I actually really like it too. We barely used it at all the first 8 months we lived here. When we moved in, I was ginormous, and had no desire to climb the stairs very often to watch a movie. Then the babies came....

Now, we feel comfortable going upstairs (with the monitor, of course), to watch a movie after the babies go to bed at night. We have deemed Wednesday and Sunday nights as our movie nights...so we go up and have what feels like a little date night 2 times a week. It's awesome. We had a lot of movies to catch up on, and we've seen some really good ones so far. We saw "Inception", which I loved, and still randomly ponder over sometimes. We have also seen "Eat, Pray, Love", "The Social Network" and "The kids are all right", and I really liked those three a lot as well.

Last night? We watched "Toy Story 3". Matt and I both enjoy a good cartoon....animated movie? every once in a while, and I was very excited to see this after all the great reviews. I *loved* this movie, ya'll! I cannot remember the last time a movie made me cry as much as this one did. I loved the storyline. I love Woody and Buzz. I love the little girl Andy gave his toys to. I just really, REALLY loved it. At the end of the movie, I was just bawling!! I know it would have made me cry whether I had Ryleigh and Reagan or not...but now that I am a mommy, some things just really hit me harder than they would have before. Songs, movies, commercials...

I know it's ridiculous, but I just kept thinking through the entire movie how I don't want them to grow up and go off to college. They are 7 1/2 months old, and I'm already worried about college. I'm crazy. :)
