Last Saturday, after being gone for a month and fatherless for almost as long, we spent a miserable first full day as a reunited family trying to potty train Cheeks. It didn't go well. And it was miserable. So for the second Saturday, I was desperate for us to actually enjoy family time.
So after cleaning the house in the morning we went out for the afternoon. Lunch at Costco (surprisingly thought of as a treat for our children), and the kids' very first movie in a theater - Finding Dory. The theater was only about 10% occupied which offered a low-pressure first experience. Cheeks may have wandered briefly around the seats and Boy Howdy may have talked more than I would have liked, but overall they did extremely well for a first time.
After the movie we capped out our family fun day with frozen yogurt before heading home in time to send Matthew to the Priesthood session of Stake Conference.
Potty training Miss Cheeks might be a complete bust for the time being but at least we had fun for one day.
