I plead temporary insanity!

Yesterday I was out of my mind and managed to drag Scott along with me, lol. We took Ryan & Ethan and 5 of Ryan's friends to see Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The ride to the theater was only five minutes, but these boys did not stop talking the entire time! They were excitedly anticipating this new movie, lemme tell ya.

We got there a bit early, got our tickets, then stood in line for some snacks. When it was our turn to order, we confused the poor guy behind the counter ("I think we're missing a lemonade." "We need another lemonade, please." "Oh, wait. Never mind. We have enough drinks."), but he didn't lose his cool. But, he did look very glad when we finally walked away from the counter, lol.

I do have to say that the boys were well-behaved. They quietly talked among themselves while the previews played and they shared the popcorn with no problems. And, there was no obnoxious laughing or talk during the movie, which was good. Apparently, the way to keep a group of 8 and 9 yr. olds quiet is to give them some popcorn and drinks to occupy their mouths, lol.

After everything was said and done, it was a good day. The boys were happy, and I was able to take a nap afterwards, lol.
