Bad Movie + Popcorn = Fun Family Night

Masud and I planned on seeing the Bourne Supremacy last night. We had free tickets, and it seemed like a good night for a movie. The only problem, however, was that we didn't have anyone to watch Isaac. We thought about taking him along, but I just couldn't handle the thought of people looking at me as I took my four-year-old into a PG-13 movie. So we decided to see the kid-friendly "Thunderbirds" instead. It was a really bad movie - terrible script, predictable plot, poor acting, lots of special effects, and the stereotypical bad guy of South Asian origin. Isaac loved it. Actually, I think Masud kind of enjoyed it too. And I enjoyed being out with my family. So it was a successful evening. Maybe we'll see Matt Damon another day.

Today we will be having even more fun, because of the annual Minnesota Elevator picnic. Isaac goes nuts when he hears the word "picnic". It will be a fun day, I'm sure, as long as the rain holds off. And tomorrow, mom and Page are coming. Life is good!
