I’d originally planned to treat them to the new release, Over the Hedge, but the video store was out. You know what one of the fun things about kids is, though? If the movie came out before they were born, they don’t necessarily know that it’s not new. So, over to the $1 section I went, and grabbed this little piggy movie.

We tried to keep the snacks healthy, or at least healthyish. Some apple slices and a little bit of caramel dip, along with the prerequisite popcorn in individual paper sacks for the kids (minus the baby, no choking going on here!).

The kids enjoyed it and stayed seated for a whopping 30 minutes, I think, which made me really glad that we hadn’t dropped a bunch of cash to chase them around the movie theater.

A fun, healthy, thrifty evening as a family. What could be better?

PS-Bald Man took the photo of me prepping for the grand event, so I thought I should at least show my appreciation and include it. Don’t worry, it won’t happen often.
