Media Mommy–I am a plugged in Mom. I love my kids, social media–and a good deal!

Yes, dear friends, I paid for a movie. For my entire family. And it was worth every penny.

Of course we’d seen the first two and loved them both. So my expectations were high and I just didn’t think we could wait for the DVD. So last Sunday all five of us went to the evening show. I believe the tickets were $33.50 (we saw 2D not 3D) and the popcorn and drink set us back another $10.50. Ouch. But so worth it.

The movie starts off with scenes of Andy playing with his Buzz and Woody dolls in old home movies, then cuts to Andy as a teenager. He’s heading to college and hasn’t played with his toys in years. What’s left of the old gang are in his toy box in his room. With Andy leaving his Mom has an ultimatum–attic, trash or donate.  Andy chooses to put most of his toys in the attic, and surprisingly he planned to take Woody with him.

Here’s where the plot twist comes in. As usual, I don’t want to give anything away–you’ve just got to see it. In the end, grown-up’s and older kids will cry, but the young ones will love it. The next day my son told me he had rearranged all his stuffed animals on his bed to show them he loves them. How cute is that?
