The Incredible Vegetables!

Someone at the Taylor house has a new obsession with the movie "The Incredible Vegetables."  On a recent trip to Mardel, Mac begged to get the DVD and promised to be good forever if we got it.  Well, who could pass up that kind of promise! LOL  Sam bought it for him, and it has been one of the best fifteen dollar investments we have ever made!  And it's actually very appropriate for life right now as it's on overcoming fears.  And like in all areas of life, when Mac is obsessed, Drew is jumping right on that bandwagon! 
 
So a friend informed me that Larry Boy was going to make an appearance at Lifeway in Springfield.  You know this mama planned the entire Saturday around that two-hour window to take the boys to see their favorite superhero :)  I was so pleased that we did...very fun day for us all!
Though very excited, both boys were a bit hesitant when we first arrived.  And who could blame them...Larry Boy is a very giant life-size cucumber!

Finally giving high-fives all around.  And yes, we did bring our stuffed Bob and Larry :)

Still a bit unsure of standing this close

A big squeeze hug

Lifeway did a great job with the kid's day.  Snacks and a movie in the back with goodie bags and balloons.  Also door prize drawings.  Despite all of the fun, there was not a crowd beating the door down to see Larry.  So we camped out in the kid section for a snack break.

Watching the new VeggieTales release, which of course we had to buy because it was majorly on sale with a coupon and an additional DVD for free!  Lucky day!

And Mac won a door prize!!  A ten dollar gift card.  My usual "saver" self wanted to advise Mac to save his card for another day when he really wanted something.  But I decided to be a "crazy" mom and let him pick out anything he wanted for ten bucks.  He chose a four-pack of Incredible Vegetables balls, so he could share with Drew :)

After much-needed haircuts, we went to our family favorite, McAlisters.  Drew decided to stick Cheetos in his nose and then in his mouth.  I don't know which was worse, that he was doing it or that we were letting him! haha
 
Driving home after a fun day!  Yes, that's the new DVD cases the boys are holding.  Did I mention that they LOVE VeggieTales??
