"Alvin and the Chipmunks"

On Friday Kim and I had planned on taking Joseph and Ben to see "Alvin and the Chipmunks" for Ben's birthday. Joseph has been waiting for this movie since the trailers started showing up on T.V. He can do a pretty good chipmunk imitation and knows all of the key lines from the movie. Kim called me a couple of hours before the movie and said Brian was at Urgent Care and couldn't drive himself home so she had to go pick him up. This left me to take Joe and Ben by myself or wait for another day. I don't think Joe would have liked that idea so I said I would take the boys anyway without Kim. Max wanted to see the movie too since he loves to do whatever Ben does, so it's me with 3 boys. Joseph loved the movie, one of his very favorites ever. Simon is his favorite chipmunk because he feels a kinship with him: They are both tall, they wear glasses and Simon is the smartest. The best part of the movie for me was when we were getting ready to leave and Max says: "Grandma, will you hold my hand so I don't run off?"
We were entertained by Joe's one liners from the movie in his chipmunk voice all the way home.

I took Ian (my Ian) to see the movie too with Caleb Dowdle - we all loved it! I thought it was really cute and clever - I wasn't sure it if was going to be any good, but it exceeded expectations!
