Iglesia, Pinchazo, Primer Corte de Pelo de Kendall, McDonald's for the new Epic toy, Bridge to Terabithia

We went to our Iglesia this morning but with some difficulty by Kendall to get up. I explained every Sunday we will go to church and he did not like the idea of going to bed earlier! Once we were there, all was well.

Pinchazo - One of the tires on our car was flat so we had it checked out. A large nail had created a hole that could not be fixed. So 2 places and a few hours later, we ended up at Sears Auto Center to have a new tire put on the car. We went to the Exton Square Mall and Kendall played in the play area, I had my glasses adjusted and we both enjoyed shopping at Learning Express. I found second and third grade study books and fabulous place mats to practice letters, numbers and math and he, of course, found a toy. My find was abburido (boring) to Kendall!

Primer Corte de Pelo de Kendall en Los Estados Unidos - we both had haircuts this morning at Great Clips. 

McDonald's for the new Epic toy - this because of all the McDonald's commercials advertising the toy for the movie. I refused to take him on my birthday. I also ordered a happy meal and Kendall wants to give the other toy to Marcus. 

We watched Bridge to Terebithia. After it started I googled it since I had not seen it and then thought this might be a good film now but he enjoyed it and at the end said he wanted to watch it with Kevin. The film is about an artistic young boy named Jesse Aarons and the burdens and hardships customary to his home life, such as his duties on his family's farm and the constant agitations and annoyances of his many sisters. After having achieved status as his classroom's fastest runner, he is infuriated when this position is claimed by a tomboyish newcomer named Leslie, whom he strongly dislikes. After following Jesse's experiences with classroom tormentors or rivals including Gary Fulcher, he anticipates the arrival of music class due to his strong infatuation for the subject's beautiful young
teacher, Miss Edmunds. However, it is during music class one day that he discovers a fondness for the eccentric and ostracized Leslie, and the two develop a friendship. While swinging together over a creek on a sunny day, they decide to design an imaginary sanctuary from the burdens and pains of everyday life over which they reign as monarchs, calling it Terabithia and constructing a small refuge from these burdens in which their imaginary escapades take place.

At school, the pair also is challenged through the presence of an older bully named Janice Avery whom they immensely detest, and it is after she snatches a dessert from the lunch of Jess's younger sister May Belle that the two forge a romantic letter under the guise of Willard Hughes, the object of Janice's infatuation, in conspiracy against her. After the plan's success exposes Janice to public mortification, the triumphant Jess and Leslie indulge in their victory; however, after encountering a sobbing Janice Avery in the girls' restroom one day and learning of the abuse to which she is subjected, Leslie develops sympathy and a friendship with the misunderstood bully. In the meantime, her bond with Jesse also increases powerfully, and they continue to indulge in the pleasures derived from Terabithia, the two friends adopting a puppy named Prince Terrien, abbreviated to P.T.

After being invited to a trip to an art museum with Miss Edmunds, Jesse accepts the offer without properly notifying Leslie or his parents beforehand. After enjoying a day together at an art exhibit, Jesse is horrified to return home and learn of Leslie's untimely and accidental death by drowning in the creek after the rope swing used to access Terabithia snapped. A shocked Jesse, incapable of absorbing or accepting the impact or horror of Leslie's sudden death, is rendered in a state of denial of any grief or even of his friend's existence, and he is terrified at the concept of Leslie's being sentenced to eternal damnation due to her doubts regarding religion. After Jesse miserably accepts the inevitability and unpreventability of her demise, he is saddened even further by the grief exhibited by Leslie's mourning family, who have decided to relocate to their former home prior to their move to their current residence. Jesse decides to pay tribute to his deceased friend with P.T. by crafting a memorial wreath, but soon afterward he discovers a terrified May Belle by the creek, who had attempted to use a fallen tree as a bridge to Terabithia (having discovered its existence earlier in the story). After assisting his sister, Jesse chooses to fill the void left by Leslie's passing by making May Belle the princess of Terabithia, permitting her to join in his sanctuary from then onward.

We then blew up the 4 in 1 Coleman Quickbed in the basement and had Sno Cones - buenas noches!
