Last Saturday we had a little Girls Night to see The Princess and the Frog. Aubrey had to wait a long time to see it because I wanted to wait until it was at the dollar theater. She was really excited to finally be going. We had it all planned out to see the 5:00 showing and meet up with Aubrey's aunts Summer & Esther and our friends Rachel & Zoe. Well we didn't realize how popular the movie would still be. Both the 5 and 7:30 were sold out. Luckily Jeff happened to mention another place in town that was showing it for $1, on our way out the door. We all headed over there to see when it was playing and if it was sold out. I didn't want to disappoint Aubrey, as you can see she was all dressed up for the occasion in her Tiana t-shirt that Zoe gave her for Valentines. Well we lucked out. They were not sold out and it was going to start at 7:00. A little late for Aubrey, but not terrible.
While we waited we got some food and played some video games. Rachel, Zoe & Esther couldn't stay for the 7:00 showing, but at least we got to hang out with them for a few hours before the show. A funny (well not so funny at the time) thing that happened is - we found a large empty area that Aubrey & Zoe could run around in while we waited. Well they were running around when they saw an elevator. They ran straight for the elevator and pressed the button. How often does an elevator open immediately upon the button being pressed? Well of course it opened immediately up for them. Luckily Rachel is quite a fast runner, we learned, and she was able to get in the elevator before the doors shut. How scary would that have been to have the girls in the elevator and us on the outside not knowing what floor they pressed?!
Aubrey liked the show. I wish it had started a little earlier though. She got pretty tired about 45 min. into it and was trying to lie on her chair. She was really cute at the part when the old voodoo lady was singing her upbeat song. Aubrey was dancing and clapping away. It woke her up a bit. After the show I asked her what her favorite part of the movie was. She said, "My favorite part was when the shadow monsters were dancing and singing." Hmm, I thought that was the part that scared most little ones. Not my funny girl. She really likes scary movies. She must have inherited that from her Aunt Esther, because she certainly didn't get that from me!
Here we are ready to go out on our Girls night - matching colors of course!
