On Saturday, we decided to beat the heat by taking Isaiah to his first movie! Every time he’s seen any kind of promotion 
for the movie Cars, he’s gotten all excited. We had been hesitant to take him, because it is a 2 hour movie, but we decided that we’d go for a matinée and just stay as long as he could handle.
He was amazed by the theater itself, with it’s rows and rows of chairs and the huge screen at the front. It was cute, because he wasn’t heavy enough to keep the seat down with his own weight, so it would fold up on him. At first he was a little startled at how big the movie was. I think he thought the cars were coming right at him! Once he got used to it, he really enjoyed it! He lasted a full hour, but then he said he wanted to go. He just couldn’t sit still any more!
I went to the doctor on Monday and she said that she was going to leave my due date the same (even though the ultrasound put it back 7 days). We’ve been cashing in on end of summer clearance for Leah. We’ve gotten a few really cute outfits for next summer. Chris swears this little girl is going to make him go broke, because all the little dresses are so hard for me to resist.
My husband is leaving me again. He’s taking our kids up to Redding for the youth conference at Bethel. This trip won’t be so bad, because he’s leaving late this afternoon and coming back Saturday afternoon. So it will only be 2 full days that I won’t see him. I’ve stocked up on chick flicks (my typical loneliness therapy), so “I will survive.”
We went to Chili’s last night as a “farewell” celebration. I am still in love with their chips and salsa with a side of ranch. I don’t know why I order a meal, because I just fill up on the chips anyway… I love them so much! Isaiah sat like a big boy in the booth. He actually did pretty good!
Isaiah still delights in tormenting our dog. He likes to call Chester into his room, shut the door, and then chase him around the room with his toy chainsaw (or any other toy that will freak the dog out). When we realize what is going on, we go and release the dog and he runs out of the room like a bolt of lightening. Today, Isaiah was outside chasing Chester with one of his push cars. Chester was carrying an apple in his mouth and dropped it. Isaiah ran over the apple and then said, “Oh, sorry!” As he continued to chase Chester, he kept yelling out to him, “Watch out! Watch out!” You’d think Chester wouldn’t want to play with Isaiah, but even though he seems a little annoyed, his tail wags the whole time. It’s true brotherly love!
