The Big Show

Andy and I decided to take the kids to a movie yesterday. We've really been wanting to see George Clooney's Up in the Air, so we thought we'll just take them along and cover their ears and eyes during the inappropriate parts.....

Kidding.

Instead we went to see ....



We thought we scored when we walked in the theater and we were the only ones there. No worries! Well, right before the movie started, ONE lady walked in. I hope she wasn't expecting a nice, relaxing, QUIET time at the movies.

Addison was yelling out "SHOW!, SHOW!" for the first five minutes and totally mesmerized. Couldn't even get her to look at the camera.

And then there was a little problem with the seats....

So her interest in the show lasted about 10 minutes. Then the lit up stairs got her attention. So Andy and I spent the next hour and a half making laps with her around the theater.and bribing her with skittles to get back in her seat.

I seriously was fine with waving my white flag and leaving, but Andy was determined to make it to the end of the movie. I think he secretly was quite into it.

And little Graham slept through the entire thing and stayed in his seat just fine.

We took Caroline to see that movie (in her princess dress of course) and all three of us loved it. However, at Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs Caroline kept screaming "Mom! Watch me!" and them jumping down about five of the light up stairs at once. It was really embarrassing since all the other kids were just watching the movie. I feel your pain.
