So with so school being out this past Thursday and Friday, I told the kids if there were good their reward would be the movies.. So they were actually good for those two days, with a few tiffs, nothing big! SO Friday afternoon I took them to the new Dr. Seuss movie. It was cute and all 3 kids sat thru the entire movie. Carson got a little restless but I just gave him food and he was fine. We were total rebels and snuck in food. Have u seen how expensive it is to go to the movies?? I cost me and 2 kids ( Carson is free) $22 at matinee time.. SO needless to say I snuck 2 bottles of water in my purse with some granola bars, m and m's and PB crackers.. Tatum snuck in 2 more waters in her purse.. Then my big girl made the decision I was so proud of. She really wanted skittles and I said I was not buying them. She asked if she could use her own money, I said "of course, but then you need to share with your brothers" So she agreed. She walked up to the counter and got a big box of skittles and $3.75 later we have more candy. I felt a little bad that I was making her pay for it, but I guess it was a lesson.. And I mean a lesson for both of us. She whips out her wallet to pay and has two 20's, a 5 and a ton of ones and change.. Are you kidding me? the tooth fairy has been to generous! I asked where she got all her money and she told me she finds it on the ground.. OK, i think she has been hoarding it for awhile but I definitely did not feel bad anymore. Anyways, great day for us and good movie. I enjoyed spending time with the kids by myself and I am amazed how fast they are growing each day!
