The week before school started, my dear husband sold his soul to take Libby to see Guardians of the Galaxy.  How exactly did he do this, you ask?  He told me he would do the dishes (which he absolutely hates) for 1 week if I let them go to the movies one afternoon.  Normally, I wouldn’t have made such a big deal about him taking part of the day to see a movie but we were prepping for back-to-school and I had so much to do.  Of course, his offer…..I accepted it right away! (Don’t tell him…I would have let him go anyway!).

So, off to the movies they went. 

Later that evening, Zack went to see it too.

Now here I sit, I still haven’t seen the movie but I have seen every Guardians of the Galaxy clip there is online and I can see why this move is such a success!  Seriously, have you seen the Dancing Groot video yet?  (Google it!)

Even though he hasn’t seen the movie yet, Alexander has been checking out the Guardians of the Galaxy toys every time we are at Walmart, and with 5 kids, you can bet we are there….a lot.  He’s wanted a Star-Lord figure since a friend of his showed him one and he really, really wants the Star-Lord Battle Gear Set.  Thankfully, Walmart has a large supply of GOTG toys, so he is working his way towards getting one.  If he can make it through the first month of school and remain ‘on green’, he gets to pick out a new toy!

A few weeks ago, my friend Lisa and her family went on a road trip to Myrtle Beach and Lisa took her trusty friend Star-Lord with her. Alexander loved seeing her updates like Star-Lord driving, checking out traffic, and enjoying some time at the beach.

Alexander may be crazy about Star-Lord but me, I would like to get my hands on a dancing Groot to keep me company while I work!

 

 

I’m looking forward to seeing how Alexander does at school over the next month and very hopeful we will be doing some Guardians of the Galaxy shopping at Walmart.com, the place for all of your GOTG toy needs!

Have you seen Guardians of the Galaxy yet?  Who is your favorite character from the movie?
