The theatre has a special on some of the matinees this week, $2/ticket. I decided to take the kids and see a movie. Knowing this was foolhardy at best, I decided to bring along some backup, Cousin Clara was on the job!
First we went to playgroup this morning, then skipped out early to pick up Clara. Then we all went to McD's at the mall for lunch (picking up movie tickets on our way down the hall). Clara was awesome! She herded them along ("Hey this is sorta like SHEEP!" she said) and kept tabs on them, their mittens, hats & sippy cups. I don't know what I'd have done without her! Lunch went well & then we went back down to the theatres & heard that our movie was sold out. Good thing we'd already gotten our tickets! However that meant the theatre would be very full & we still had to make a pit stop at the bathroom before going in. By the time we got in there, the previews were on & we had to sit in the very front row. This turned out to be a good thing though as halfway through, Lovey lost interest and started climbing down from her seat & back up and then flipping around in the chair etc so it was good we weren't in the middle of an aisle bothering anyone in front of us. Honey lasted all the way through, sometimes climbing into my lap. And it looks like Sweetie takes after her mum and wanted to talk all the way through about what was going on. (who's dat mumma? why's he sad mumma? dat's a whale mumma!)

GG had sent some popcorn bags with C for us so I pulled those out once everyone was getting antsy and that bought us a little more quiet time and they managed to get through the rest of the movie without causing a disturbance. It went well but I think the novelty of the experience helped so we might wait awhile before attempting that one again.
