movies

dan and I took all 4 kids to see madagascar 2 yesterday. determined to save a few buck we drove to the cheaper theater in white city about 15 miles away from our house only to discover it was sold out. I guess other people has the exact same idea. the matinees are all 2.50--so it would have cost 15.00 for my family to see a movie. needless to say the littles were very disappointed--laken had a small tantrum just to show us how disappointed he really was
we then drove to the large expensive theater in town where there were plenty of seats available
33.50 to get in--holy shit
the movie was cute, laken did well--except he was loud at times and clapped his hands for everything--i had stashed redvines, whoppers, gummy fish, m and m's, and other assortments of candy in my big cookie lee tote so we were well supplied.
we had to get popcorn of course and some sodas
50 plus dollars later....
