Movie Date

Last Tuesday Cheyna and I took Nolan and Abby to see the Care Bear movie in Destin. Of course, no movie date is complete without a meal first, so we enjoyed Panera Bread for lunch, then wandered over to the theatre. Once we got in the movie and got our popcorn, we were all settled and ready to go. The theatre has booster seats for the kids, so they were able to sit in the chairs without falling through. Abby and Nolan looked so grown up and so independent sitting there chomping away on popcorn, drinking their lemonade's. They were being soooo good and yet the movie just wouldn't start. 5 minutes goes by, then 10, then 15. At about 20 after I went to see what was going on. There were a few other mom's with their toddlers, so we were all a little anxious about how long we could keep them under control and in their seats. Turns out they forgot to program the movie to start, so as an added bonus we all got free passes to come again, yay! Nolan and Abby really liked the movie and it was only about an hour, so it really kept their attention the whole time. Nolan asked if next time Cheyna and I could sit one row up, apparently we were cramping his style.
Here are the kids before we went in, waiting for the theatre to open. Don't let them fool you, they sat still out on the steps for all of 5 seconds.
This is Nolan saying "cheese" which is actually much better than when you tell him to smile. Then he tries really hard to "smile", but instead of smiling he looks like he has to poop.
I stole these pictures from Cheyna's blog, they were too cute (thanks Chey)!

Hee Hee Too cute! As I was reading, I thought I was going to read about a horror story at the movies with the kids getting impatient. So glad they started the movie and the kiddos enjoyed it! We plan to take Avery to see Horton Hears A Who this weekend...hopefully we'll have the same luck!!
