We have been trying to plan one fun activity every month for Family Home Evening. This Monday we planned to go to a movie theater. The kids have never been and I thought it would be a fun experience for them. Unfortunately, Lane took a really late nap and was still sleeping at 6 p.m. The twins were so excited about it--almost as excited as I was to watch them enjoy this new experience. Brant decided to stay home and I took the twins. I was giddy. There's just something so fun about sharing a new, exciting experience with children. They did not disappoint. They were wide-eyed as we walked into the theater. And, wow--how exciting is that big cage of glass filled with buttery popcorn. Not to mention the shelves of oversized candy boxes.
They had booster seats so we used those. Well, the kids did. I fit just fine--and just barely--in the seats. Madison was slightly frustrated that the commercials were the same ones and kept recycling. In my eager anticipation and planning, I did my usual of arriving too early. In reference to the commercials Madison would say, "We've already seen this one!" I've noticed that Porter really likes music. He would dance in his seat whenever they would play fun songs. About midway through Madison said she was tired and wanted to go home and finish watching the movie there. She is so practical--and, like me--doesn't want to miss her sleep.

Did you see anything good? The first movie I took Easton to (that he wasn't a baby) was Ratatouille and we ended up leaving early. It was too much.
how fun!! I love watching kids experience fun things for the first time. Just wait for their first Disney trip! I cried when I went to Disneyland with my kids for the first time. Happy tears of course. Maybe that's a little TMI
