It's been a movie weekend around here. However, first let me publicly admit that I'm insane. Yep...I know it. What convinced me? I took Matthew, Jonathan, and Annah to the movies Friday evening....alone!
We were one of only three families in the theater, so that helped. Jonathan and Annah were pretty good for the first 30 minutes or so, then the previews were over rand the movie started. Seriously. They were tired by the time it started and wound up running all over the theather, but periodically settled down and watched the show. Oh, it was Madagascar 2, otherwise known in our house as the "move it move it" movie. It was cute...I've never watched the first one, but the kids have and they enjoyed it. However, I will say that I WILL NOT do that again on my own.
Then on Saturday, my mom came over to the house and watched the little kids while Matthew and I went to see Twilight. I've been waiting for months and months to see it, and let me just say Oh my GOSH! I have never loved a movie like I loved Twilight! It was very fast paced and although it left out a lot of the little details that were in the book, I completely enjoyed it. Matthew did as well, although he's never read the books. (That's his next thing on his to-do list.)
So it was a time enjoyed by all four of us. Take the little kids to the movies alone was hard, and I don't plan to go back to the movies with the kids until after Austin comes home, but it was still fun and they enjoyed it - which is what matters. We're making memories.
