Movie Night
December 10
Last night I took the girls to opening night of Chronicles of Narnia. We'd prepped for the movie by reading the prequel to The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe. I wanted to re-read the actual book the movie was based on, but Honi decided she didn't want to ruin the movie experience by knowing what was going to happen...I couldn't argue with her reasoning. We'll read it now that we know what happens.
The movie was excellent. It held the attention of my 4-year-old for the entire 2 & and Half hours even though we waited in line for an HOUR before. You know a movie is good when the mom AND the 4 year old come out happy. Movie Success.
Today I bummed around the house most of the day, just happy to be able to sleep in...sorta. I guess you can't really sleep in when the kids come in every 2 minutes asking for things...it's been too long since they've been home, they forgot how to "watch themselves" for a few hours in the morning so I can sleep in. Though I must admit, the distractions are welcomed. On thursday night, as arden came to sleep with me at 1 in the morining, the thought occurred to me that I hadn't been happier to be awoken by a child and kicked in the back all night. Kids are awesome.
We had tickets to a BYU basketball game tonight, it was fun for the first 30 minutes, until the girls got restless and decided they were too bored to sit still...shoes started coming off and jumping between rows, girls were fighting over seats and coats and hair and anything else they could think of to fight over, and they were all thirsty every 4 minutes. So we left early. I'm glad we did though because they took almost an hour to settle down enough to sleep tonight. I love that they enjoy each others' company and like to play, but it gets frustrating sometimes when it's late and I know it's gonna be hard to get out the door to get to church on time.
Well, life is ok I guess, it's not really good, but I figure it can't really get much worse, so I guess that means it's ok. I'm still waiting for it to get better, though I realize it could be a LONG, LONG time. *long tired-sounding sigh*.
I'm out.
