Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension. The “Teal” Carpet Premiere

Yes.  The small people went crazy.

Yes.  I did a little too. (I mean, I love Perry the Platypus)

And my mom?  Well, naturally, she had fun as well.

But how could we not?

Delaney and Cooper have been counting down the days since I first surprised them with the news that we were heading to LA to see the latest movie from their favorite characters. And finally today was THAT day…the day in Hollywood with the red…I mean TEAL carpet…the day they would settle in to their seats in the famed El Capitan Theater, (right across from the Kodak Theater, I might add) and watch this adventureous duo (and friends) on the big screen,

Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension didn’t disappoint. How could it?

The Small People are Hollywood Bound for Phineas & Ferb

As a mom, few things bring me more joy than surprising my small people with something that makes them giddy.  Now, when you are seven and five, ice cream can make you happy, getting out of making your bed is a perfect start to your day and the night before you find out who your new teacher might be can feel like Christmas.

But this?  Well this is different.  This is a unique kind of surprise as it involves their favorite TV show – Phineas and Ferb.  You may have heard them explain WHY they love the show.  Even that made them happy – simply telling me about their show…. so imagine their joy (and mine) when I get to tell them we are heading to Hollywood this Wednesday for the premiere of the new Phineas & Ferb movie: The 2nd Dimension.

Joy. Is. An. Understatement.

There was eye-crossing and tackling.  And lots of talking.  Take a look.

Dancing at Hollywood Studios to Mickey Mouse ClubHouse

This past weekend, at the Disney Social Media Moms Conference, we were lucky enough to have a private dance party with some of the crew from Disney Junior…..  this is simply a small sampling of the fun I had with my small people – Cooper in particular.  We like to dance. Try not to mock me.
