Last Friday we attempted to take the twins to there first movie in the theater. We chose Madagascar 2, thinking it would have enough action and animation to keep there attention. I decided I might change the name of my blog from Shannon's family to SHANNON'S DUMB IDEAS!! What was I thinking again?
So we settle in our seats. Christina on big sitters lap (Tati) and Madison on Jesse's. Big tub of popcorn and soda of course. Sweet this ain't so bad! The first half hour or so Christina was great. She was really into the movie, chowing down on popcorn. She started to get a little ancy, so I bribed her with candy. All is well. Oh wait I forgot to add what Madison was doing! By now Madison is about 3 seats down hitting some elderly lady's leg. And it gets better! She decides to play duck, duck, goose on the heads of the people below us. Did I mention she has a cup full of soda in her hand also. Ya I know soda and candy not so good for kids??? But I had to do whatever I could to just make it about another half hour. So feeling bad for everyone around us and poor Jesse and Tati I pick both them up and head for the exit. Now we will attempt the arcade?!?! Lots of lights flashing and noise should keep us busy awhile. Movie ends, meet up with the big kids, pile in the car and think to myself I'm making lasting moments. Ya right!!

You do like a challenge don't you? Next time you have a 'Great' idea ... call me ... I'm only a year ahead of you so it's still fresh in my head what worked and what didn't for the toddler age! (Wink!) Love ya ... I must admit I love reading that I'm not the only one living an insane life!
