For years Peter and Aaron have been obsessed with the movie Cars, but there is finally another movie that is a close second favorite.
Gnomeo and Juliet came out this Spring, and from the beginning credits (i.e. first Elton Jon song) my kids were hooked. We saw it in the theatre three times, and to their excitement one of my friends got it on DVD for us this week.
Their absolutely favorite scene in the movie is at the end when there is a big song and dance number to Elton Jon's Crocodile Rock. This is Peter's new favorite sing. Or, his "jam" as he calls it. He even requested that they play Crocodile Rock at our MOMS Club Musical Munchkins Class (which they did, and Peter danced to the whole time).
Yesterday, I told the kids that since Brett was going out of town for the night, we could have a special movie night and watch our new movie. While we were driving Brett to the airport Peter told him our plans.
Peter - Dad, GUESS WHAT?
Brett - What?
Peter - Miss Christina got us a NEW movie, and Mommy said we can watch it tonight.
Brett - That sounds exciting Peter. What movie is it?
Peter - I'll give you a hint... WAAAAAH WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH (as per the chorus of Crocodile Rock)
If you haven't seen Gnomeo and Juliet we would highly recommend it. Definitely fun for all ages, great music (all Elton Jon), and some pretty funny jokes for adults.
Here is the trailer:

Missed you today but hope you are feeling better. I soooo need to see the G and J movie with the kids. I watched the trailer again and the part where the frog pops the mushroom out of her mouth and makes that comment makes me loose it.
