The Movie Date

This afternoon we went to the movies with some friends.  For those of you without kids, and even some of you with kids, this may not seem like a big deal, but it is.  Believe me.  We went to a matinee with two other families, and all of our kids.  It was very ambitious, and really just seemed like a disaster in the making.  Sure enough, it didn't start well, the kids were restless as the previews started, and one of the two year old boys was refusing to watch the movie at all.  It didn't look good.  But then the movie started, and the magic took over.  Aside from a couple of bathroom breaks, all six kids and all six parents got to watch the entire movie.  We all got to laugh, eat popcorn, and relax.  Well, we got as relaxed as you can with toddlers in your lap.  All in all, I am proud of us for even attempting it, and amazed that it turned out so beautifully.
