Today I did a very brave thing...I went to a movie with my 3 children ALL BY MYSELF! What makes this so brave? Well, for starters Cole has never been to a movie before (why would I take a baby to a movie? He's not even 2 yet!) The second reason this makes me so brave is that Cole has a very HIGH PITCHED/EAR PIERCING scream that is very unpredictable and surfaces on a very regular basis. Third reason? Simple. I'm outnumbered.
So why would I attempt this? Well, Alex is off track and it's been such crappy weather that he's been trapped inside the house the entire time. I was feeling so guilty that his time off track has been so boring. So I did a smart thing and bribed Alex and Rachel with the whole "if you clean the toy room I will take you to a movie" trick...and it worked marvelously! My house is clean, we got out for a while, and we had a GREAT time!
I couldn't believe how good my kids were. Even Cole was a dream come true! We saw:
I know it's been out for a long time, but obviously we hadn't seen it. It was actually a really cute movie. I didn't even mind sitting through it. Of course, it didn't hurt that each kid had one of these:
Cole even fell asleep half-way through the movie and woke up happy. Alex and Rachel kept thanking me and telling me how much they loved me after the movie was over. It really was great and it made me realize how much I actually LOVE that my kids are getting older!

You good little mommy you... I wonder if Finn would like the movies. I KNOW he'd like the popcorn and candy!
