Smurfs 2 - A Smurftastic morning in Covent Garden

I took Nanny and the boys to a Smurftastic event at the Odeon in Covent Garden. We were treated to a viewing of Smurfs2, with popcorn, sweeties and drinks. There were some Smurfs there to guide us to our seats. They checked us for any contamination as they didn't want anything coming into Smurf land!! They even taught us how to do the Smurf handshake!

After the film, the children were split into small groups and taken away for different activities. These included finding some Smurfs by following clues, finding the lost Smurf essence, listening to some Smurf stories and having a photo session with Smurfette. It was great and all the children looked like they were having loads of fun.

Some children had come dressed up as Smurfs and there were prizes for the best dressed Smurf. It was lovely to see that the children had made such an effort. 
The film was great. We have seen the first Smurf movie so we were really looking forward to the sequel and we weren't disappointed. It is a movie we could watch again and again. It's so hard not to fall in love with those cute little blue characters, and Gargamel's cat is fantastic!!


When we left, we were given a print out of BoyG's photo with Smurfette, a goodie bag, and a blue Smurfs2 balloon. BoyG really enjoyed himself, and so did Nanny, BabyG and I!

Wreck It Ralph - BoyG's first trip to the cinema!

I've taken BoyG to the cinema today as he has been asking for weeks. He has been asking to see Wreck It Ralph so off we went to go see it.

As he walked through the main door to the cinema, BoyG whispered 'wow!'

We went and got our tickets and then went to get a drink. BoyG had a kids box with some popcorn, chocolate stars and a drink.

We went in and found a seat, and when we sat down he said 'I'm sighted!' (That is excited for BoyG!)

I think he liked it as I asked him half way through if he wanted to stay or if he was getting bored. He said he wanted to stay. But at the end he said he didn't like the cinema?! I think he did enjoy it but it was all a bit overwhelming as it was his first time and its all very big and loud in there.

He did say he wants to go to the cinema again anther day.

That was lovely to do something with just me and BoyG. I have really missed the quality time we used to have before. I am going to try and do more with him. And as far as the cinema, we will probably go once a month together. Although today was a full priced ticket as that was wgat he wanted to see, they have special £1 tickets on Saturdays for selected kids films, so next month we will have a look at whats on for £1.
