Surprise of the evening -- watching Over the Hedge with Craig, David, Jonathan, Vicky, and Laura. After we had all pretty much decided to spend quiet nights at home, I took out my contacts, changed, and started getting ready for bed. But then, the phone call.

is it pretty true to the comic strip? that was (is?) a good comic strip...

By the way, can you give me a detailed report of how the shot heard 'round the world was executed along with a reaction from the parties?

Thanks!

ha! we went to see it too last night
we didnt tell alex, it was a surprise, we even had him close his eyes from two blocks away and mike carried him up to the ticket booth and put him right in front of one of the signs for it.

when he opened his eyes he squeeled so loud! We loved the movie...very little bad stuff for kids. But did you hear the songs at the credits? very anit-'suburbia/clear cutting/ modern insulated american life' i loved that part!

Yeah, I really liked the credits music! Wish that I could read what the lyrics were ... we were hooting with laughter at parts, at others kind of groaning.

So neat for Alex! Y'all were really cool parents to do it that way.
