Let's Go To The Movies!

It was amazing how much exhaustion could affect every part of a person, whether it be in decision making, talking in coherent sentences, how graceful one was, and just trying to keep one's eyes opened. It helped that Poppy was around because it motivated Scott and Susanne to get up and do something with their day.

Susanne always enjoyed cooking for people when they were visiting. She decided to make a big breakfast for all to enjoy. Her father had always told her that breakfast was the most important meal of the day so it was only right for her to show him that she listened well. She decided to make melt in your mouth pancakes along with a side of bacon and medley of fruit. Paxton even joined them at the table to enjoy the spread. He actually sat in his high chair for the first time ever. The high chair almost looked like it had swallowed him whole. He could hardly even get his hands over the top of the tray. He really seemed to enjoy looking at everyone while they ate and carried on. He even attempted to chime in a few times.

Scott and Susanne had planned something special for Poppy. They had asked Moppy to come babysit Paxton while they took him out for a special treat. They took him to the movies to see "The Expendables". Poppy didn't even know what he was going to watch until it started. He was ecstatic when he found out. Poppy loved to watch movies, especially action films. He didn't take his eyes off the screen for one second even to reach for popcorn or sip his Coke. Luckily, the bucket of popcorn was so big that he would have had to try really hard to miss it.

The movie was excellent. It was nice for them to see some of the most memorable action heroes from the past get together to make a movie. It had Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Eric Roberts, Randy Couture, Steve Austin, Mickey Rourke, and even had appearances by Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger (the current governor of California!) Susanne was just impressed that she stayed awake for the whole thing, especially with her history.

Once they got home, Scott and Susanne decided to go on a nice long walk with the dogs. They knew that Paxton was in good hands. It was so exciting for them to be able to get out of the house and spend some time together. They always had their best talks while walking hand in hand.

Susanne decided earlier in the day to make it easy on herself for dinner and pull out one of the fabulous meals from the freezer that one of her friends had so kindly made for her a while back. How ingenious! Dinner was ready to eat after being warmed in the oven. Everyone enjoyed dinner as they watched more movies together. Moppy left shortly after dinner. Scott decided to make homemade peach milkshakes for himself and Poppy. Susanne was only able to eat the peach. So Jealous. (She did sneak a tiny sip from Scott when he wasn't looking, though!)
