First trip to the movies!

Was I crazy for taking three kids to the movie theatre all by myself, when two of them are under the age of three? A little, I think.

But they loved it. Not the movie of course - only Logan liked that (which happened to be Gnomeo and Juliet).

No, don't let these innocent faces fool you...

Oh sure, they look like they are going to sit there, content with their popcorn and fruit snacks tray.

 But looks can be deceiving allright....

About 15 minutes into the movie, who do you think was climbing up and down the steps in the aisle? Not these innocent faces, you say? WRONG! These little angels of mine wanted nothing to do with chairs and sitting. Instead, they thought it would be fun to climb up and down the aisles, and then sometimes walk through the rows, touching all of the seats while they passed by.

Fun, fun, fun times.....

Thank goodness there were only two other parties there. One teenage boy who had his IPOD in his ears and seriously could have cared less. And the second was a mom with her own little girl, who looked to be about 4 years old.

You would think that at a 10:45am movie showing, with hardly anyone in the theatre, the MOM of all people would sympathize with me. (Or if nothing else, not really care) Well, you'd be wrong again! This lady was clearly irritated and I could only imagine all of the things that were going through her head.

These are the times when I have to remind myself ....will I ever see that woman again? No. And even though my kids were climbing up and down the stairs, they were actually pretty quiet, and they weren't doing it anywhere near the other people in the theatre. So was it hurting anyone or distrurbing the movie? No, it really wasn't.

Did I sit on the steps and let them enjoy this experience? Heck ya I did....

And, truthfully, I'd do it again  in a heartbeat :)
