Surgery and Movies

Last week Joe had outpatient surgery to repair a hernia.  Here he is waiting in pre-op:

The surgery went well and we were home by 3:30.  Joe was dizzy from the anesthesia and pain meds so while he slept it off I picked the girls up from Alexa's.  They had a great time playing with them until we could get home.

Since Joe has had to take a week at home recovering we took advantage of Stimulus Tuesday at a nearby theater that has discount tickets and $2 popcorn, drinks and candy.  We saw the Lego Movie:

The movie was hilarious!  I didn't think I was going to like it but the girls wanted to go.  I ended up really enjoying it and laughing out loud during several scenes.  One scene in the movie could have been played out at our house over arguments the girls have had over their Legos : )  Emily likes to follow instructions and build the Legos exactly how it says to and then doesn't want anyone to touch them.  Abigail takes the approach of building whatever she wants and taking apart anything she can . . . basically the whole plot of the movie.
