The Mother's Day Movie

Today was fun! After breakfast and gifts in bed, the kids and I headed off to church. We joined the Furnish Family for lunch at El Cholo, yum (thanks, Carey!), and then headed to the movies to see "Earth." It was great and we all enjoyed it.

Justice had profound comments throughout the film. For awhile, I was in awe of his wisdom and intelligence. First, when they were showing a view of the planet Earth from space, he exclaimed to the entire theatre, "There's our planet. There's Earth. We're right in there!" This display continued when we left the theatre as he pointed all around him and announced, "That's our Earth, and that's our Earth." Every part of his world was part of Earth, and he clearly demonstrated his understanding of this.

Then, on the way home, he continued to point out things that were part of Earth, and ended his monologue with, "And when we ruin this whole Earth, we just have to buy a new one! Right, Mommy?" There dashed my hopes of his brilliance, but oh to be in the mind of a 3 year-old. Things are just so simple.

I had a wonderful day with my children. Happy Mother's Day, everyone. I know you all feel as blessed as I do to be a mom to truly amazing kids!
