We don't get out much...

Last night, only the two little kidlets were home. Sour Apple is still at camp (Yay, he made it the whole week!) and Lemon Drop was at a friend's house. We decided after dinner and baths that we would load up in our bed and watch a movie while the little ones passed out with the little kids. We chose Marley and Me. Boog had been wanting to see it, movies like that usually do not keep his attention for long and he was all about seeing the dog walk with his front legs hanging out of the car.

We have had this movie since the day it came out on dvd, and are only just now last night getting a chance to watch it. Have you seen it? I highly recommend it!

Anyway, the kids were tossing and turning, Tutti-Frutti was flipping and flopping all over the bed, he was so tired. We spent the day at a friend's house swimming, so they were both worn out. He finally dozed off laying at the end of the bed between my legs. I got him moved to his bed around 8:30. Boog on the other hand was really interested in the movie (go figure) so it took him a bit longer to fall asleep. He watched nearly the whole movie (not exactly kid friendly, but at least he is young enough to not know what was happening! Wheew!) He finally fell asleep toward the middle/end of the movie.

By the time the movie was over, I had been trying to hold back the tears (you know, because it is only a movie and I am not that sappy) well, that was a bad idea. By the time the movie was over, my head hurt, my throat hurt from the lump in it, I could not breathe, my stomach hurt...yea, you name it. Bad idea, should have just let the tears freely flow from the beginning, I would have felt much better. By the end of the movie, I was a crying, blubbering, snotty mess! Yay for our in bed movie date!

Moral of the story, beware of the age of your children when watching the movie, (although it is very cute)and go ahead and cry when the urge strikes...

Yea, we do not get out much!

  1. Does it feel really quiet and empty when half the kids are gone?
