popcorn

i love popcorn. john and gillian love it too. we occasionally do movie night and make a big bowl of popcorn to go with it. aunt missy and uncle t gave us a popcorn maker. daddy and i knew right away that it would be a big hit.

early this morning we promised john that we would have a movie night and use our new popcorn maker to make our snack. john was super excited to use the new popcorn maker. at one point today he was misbehaving and we threatened to cancel movie night. he burst into tears. "but i wanna make popcorn!" don't worry we didn't cancel movie night.

after dinner, john quickly got the box with the popcorn maker in it. and we started the process. john and gilly pulled a chair over and watched the maker in action. i wish i had it on video. the two of them jumped when the first kernel popped. and then after that they laughed and jumped up and down in excitement. john kept saying "and it goes pop pop pop!" who would have thought that the popcorn maker would have been more exciting than the movie.
