Chronicles?

O.K. so Adam, the kids, and I headed to the theatre to see Chronicles of Narnia on Christmas Eve. We obviously were not contemplating all the other people that would be out in full force trying to see movies and by the time we got into the theatre it was sold out. Adam asked, "Well, should we just see something else?" To which I replied something about movies being too expensive and let's not waiste our money seeing "just something" just to see something. So, we convinced the kids that it would be fun to go home and watch Herbie and eat icecream, promising that we would go to the theatre on Monday, the day after Christmas. Herbie was cute and we all laughed and it was nice to be in movie mode and then watch a movie at home, with no subtitles. Monday rolled around, and yes, we had a nice Christmas, friends and family, just a little too much driving. We'll cut back though next year. Mistakes are learning experiences right! So, we prepaid for our tickets on Fandango and headed to the Santa Fe which a mistake that we didn't learn from on Saturday. However, the parking was, or should I say the lack there of was horendous! We drove around a full parking garage, and through the parking lot for over a half an hour. Finally Adam decided to drop us (Myself, our 2 kids and one extra) at the door so at least we could be watching the movie. When I went to get into the movie I learned that one of us would have to wait for Adam by the entrance due to the ONE sheet with our Fandango purchase. Being I wasn't going to let the kids in the movie alone or let one of my minor under 7 year old children wait at the door, none of us could watch the movie. So, we all waited until Adam got inside. Finally we entered the theatre only to be greeted by an irritated family of 5 in front of us to whom no seats were available. So, after filling a grievous complaint about the terrible parking situation and after getting our money back we headed to the Suncoast where it our movie was playing every hour on the hour. We patiently waited the 20-30 minutes in line watching the marquie very closely to see if our movie had sold out after each patron in front of us. Finally it was our turn and we were so excited! However we learned that there was a power
outage and the marquie was incorrect in telling us there was vacancy for our movie. Adam decided that we should just see something and so we did, Yours, Mine, and Ours. It was cute and the kids laughed a lot, which always does my heart good. Maybe we just aren't suppose to see that one as a family. Maybe Adam and I will try on New Years when his mom spends the night and we can have dinner and then see Chronicles and then a very unkid-friendly Rent, which we both really want to see.
