This is Sparta!

We really haven't found a baby sitter yet. We truly enjoy spending our time together as a family with Sammy. But finding a babysitter is something on our to-do list. One thing we have missed over the last year is the opportunity to go and see a movie together as a couple. So today while Sammy was in day care (Michele only works 2 days this week) we went with our friend Johanna to an afternoon showing of "The 300."

The movie was pretty good, though not nearly as good as "Gladiator." The visual effects were excellent. There was an over abundance of gore though. We've seen there is some debate about the historical accuracy of this movie (which is about a real event). The one thing that amazed us was the size of Leonidas' mouth in the movie. It was HUGE! Who cares about whether or not Xerxes was really 15 feet tall as in the movie...what we want to know is was the mouth of the king of Sparta that large or is it just a myth?
