How to Train Your Dragon

So, on Friday Johnsie seemed to notice that there was a bag in the back of the car that seemed to have Easter grass in it. He asked me about it when we were in the house. I told him that it was just Easter grass and nothing more.

Well, a few minutes later I hear my car remote making the noise it makes when you unlock the doors. The stinker unlocked them and then took off outside. He was already in the car by the time I got there. AND it wasn't only Easter grass. Hidden under the bag was a helmet, ax and shield from How to Train Your Dragon. I HAD planned on putting them in his basket but I guess Johnsie had other plans.

It was all good. We had plans to go to the movie the next day and he just had to wear his new gear.



I think he literally wore the glasses for the first 20 mins of the movie. Then he sat and watched the rest of the movie blurry. Not sure why. Anyway, the movie was super cute. A couple of parts made him jump, but he gave it a thumbs up. He sat engrossed the whole time. A few times I glanced at him and he had his fingers up to his mouth, looking really concerned. There were some pretty exciting parts.

My Sister's Keeper

I really loved this book and was so excited to see that it was being made into a movie. Granted as everyone knows movies are never, ever as good as the book. But, I still really enjoy seeing movies that have been made from books I have already read.

Anyway, wow, the ending was so different. No, I am not going to spoil anything so you can keep reading. I just can't believe that director's can toy around with and change so much of a book. I understand leaving things out. Anyone who reads Harry Potter gets that because those movies would be 10 hours long if they didn't edit. But to completely change an ending. What the heck?

I do have to say that I still did cry like a baby through the entire movie. And I mean the entire movie. I went to see it with a bunch of moms from mine and D's playgroup and we went for coffee after and my eyes were still red when we left.

So, after all of that I would still say that it was a good movie. But, only go see it if you feel like crying.
