Jaxson's favorite movies are Cars and Toy Story 3, but when McDonalds came out with the minions in their kids meals we showed him Despicable Me. And thus began the quest for the minions. I ate several kids meals by myself just to get a toy for baby J. I'm not complaining, I'm just sayin... I love the boy. Toward the end of the minion promotion, all of the McDonalds started giving away the same minion. But Amanda would ask them to go back and check their inventory to make sure they didn't have the one we still needed. Finally we got the whole collection and decided to go watch Despicable Me 2 at the drive in with Jaxson. He watched half the movie standing up and staring at the giant screen. But it wasn't too long before he lost interest so maybe I'll wait another year or two before we try the drive in again.
Now the kids meal toy is Smurfs, so we got Jax a kids meal and ended up with Smurfette. Amanda opened up the kids meal and handed him the toy. He stared at it for a minute and turned it over in his hand. He might have been expecting another minion but after a moments inspection he nodded his head and giggled with delight. I hate to tell you, there will be no Smurfs saga. I think McDonalds makes my clothes shrink so I'm trying to keep my distance!
