Day 43  |  It kind of felt like the last day of the holidays today (even though we still have the weekend ahead), so I decided to take the boys out for an end of holidays treat to the movies.  It was particularly special for Austin as he had never been to the movies before - and I have to admit I did wonder if he would sit still for long enough!  But it was also the first time I have been to the movies with Hayden.  He has been before with his Dad and Grandparents, but I've always been a home looking after Austin!

So this morning we headed into town and we went to see "Paddington".  I think I was looking forward to seeing the movie as much as the boys, partly because it has been years since I've been to the movies, but mainly because "Paddington Bear" was an absolute favourite of mine as a child.  In fact, on the way into the city this morning, I was telling the boys how I visited Paddington Station in London when I lived there, and bought my very own Paddington Bear soft toy : )

The boys did great, and the movie was fantastic - for children and adults alike!  (Hayden is already asking for the DVD.)  Next time we might make it the whole family!

I did have to pop my camera in my bag (with my 50mm lens) and grab a photo of the boys waiting for the movie.  Unfortunately the "Paddington" poster was way up high hanging from the roof, so my idea of getting their photo standing 'next to' Paddington Bear didn't quite eventuate, so it was a quick snap sitting in a chair (to contain their excitement) instead!
