3 boys + 1 mama + cars 2 = fail

before we get to the whole theater debacle, let's start out this post with what went well today.
safety town!first time visiting. boys loved it. they did really well with the red & green lights. right after that last picture, cash wiped out pretty good. nice big road rash right above his elbow. cleaned that up and he kept on riding :) they lasted a half hour before declaring it was "too hot!" (it is crazy hot today). we stopped to bandage cash up and jagger said "you look handsome cash, the girls are gonna love you now." ha!

so then i thought it would feel good to cool down in a nice air conditioned movie theater. cars 2 is still playing. perfect! they sit just fine through a movie @ home, so this should be even better. we get there, i buy tickets and a small popcorn for each of them, find seats, and we're good to go.make it halfway through previews before there is an explosion of popcorn, like a small bomb went off in jagger's lap. don't even know what or how it happened but popcorn is flying and his drink spilled. awesome. clean up and move down a seat. make it through the rest of the previews and the first hour into the film. they start getting antsy. musical chairs starts. that's ok, i can handle that. then shoes come off. more, smaller popcorn explosions occur. the boys start getting braver in venturing farther away from me. the mama fingersnap is going crazy. slade has to go the the bathroom. no wait, cash does now too. then jagger. instead of waiting for me and the twins, jagger starts to take off down the aisle, trips and slams his face on a step. screaming and crying ensues. pick him up and examine while trying to get the other two to follow me. they are not following me. grumble, grumble. finally get everyone out and to the car. sheesh! jagger has a bump by his eye, but we're all alive. hooray!truthfully, i didn't realize cars 2 was so long, so that was definitely my bad. i'll be sure to look into movie running times next attempt :)

Tek didn't make it through cars either. He was doing fine until about half way through he realized there was a kid from his daycare two rows behind us. He stood and eyelid the kids name and the kid responded by steaming Tek's name. By the time both dads caught up to them down in front of the screen it was clear someone had to leave. Since the other guy had two kids and paid more to be there Tek and I left.
