Buzz and Woody

In 1995 I loaded a 4 year old, 3 year old and a baby in my car and went with friends to see Toy Story.  I think when the video came out it was one of the most played videos at our house!  Even today I know for a fact it gets more play than any other video (except maybe Hot Rod, all I can say is teenage boys).  When we put it on for which ever kid is with us for the day, most if not all of my kids are watching by the first 10 minutes!  I wonder how many times both Toy Story movies have played at our house?  We have about wore out the videos but I did replace both of them on DVD.

Ken and I went on an actual date last weekend and went to see Toy Story 3.  Ken was a little embarrassed to be there with no kids but it was 9pm and we were not the only adults with no kids!

Christmas 1995 brought a promotion at Burger King, I picked up Buzz, Woody and RC for $2.79 each with the purchase of a Whopper.  I threw out the Whopper but bought 2 sets of toys.  Today they are still the most played with toys at our house and most little boys beg to be able to take them home.  But I am firm that they stay here and after seeing Toy Story 3 I will never be able to throw them out!!  Buzz's helmet is a little beat up and this Woody is missing a boot (but still has his hat!) but they are well loved and played with often!

  I never quite realized how maniacal the smiles are on these toys!!

I imagine when the DVD comes out for movie #3 I will buy it and it will get lots of play time too!!

Because Buzz and Woody have a friend in me!!
