seeing our heroes...

For those of you who don't know (and how could you not!), Cars 2 is coming out in late June. Well, we are just a wee bit excited around here about the new movie. It will be our first real movie the boys will see in a theater and while that will be quite an experience itself, the real anticipation is seeing the new characters and story of Luke and especially Henry's favorite movie guys. Daddy made us a great binder with all the new characters and I know Luke has them all memorized and Henry, most of them (and with names like Kingpin Nobunaga, Francesco Brenoulli, and Rip Clutchgonski, that is a quite an accomplishment!!)

Well imagine our excitement when we found out that real-life sized versions of Lightening McQueen, Tow Mater and Finn McMissile (think James Bond) were coming to town!!

Waiting in the shade while Daddy bravely held our place in the sunny line...

Lightening and Finn in the background

And Tow Mater of course! I love them holding
hands so they don't "get lost" as Henry said.

rewards!!...

Trying to move along the potty training with Henry, I started a sticker chart for every time he...does his business in the appropriate place. We told him if he got 3 stickers then he got a treat. Next time it will be 4 stickers, then 5, etc...gotta keep moving the line right?

here is my chart!....

my treat? a M&M milkshake from my favorite place, Steak-n-Shake!!

Yum!

"I want to move to a different house"

Henry possesses a stubborn streak at 2 that his brother has yet to find. We have no idea where it came from, but for a good while now whenever something doesn't go his way(time out, having to give a toy back, bathtime, etc), Henry has one go to line. I present for your viewing enjoyment, "Angry Henry":

I like the angry swipe at the end too--very "go away, papparazi."
