It’s a rainy Tuesday. The big kids determined that rain or shine, today was our last unscheduled summer day and therefore, “fun is mandatory”. We reviewed our list of things that we can’t easily do when I have three toddlers, and decided to carpe diem. We set out the door to go bowling, and then remembered last minute that movies at the fancy schmancy theatre downtown are discounted on Tuesdays, so we popped in and we had just enough time to get some popcorn and sit before previews began. Sloane was terrified by the high action previews, but curled up like a kitty in my lap and stayed there the whole time. This was the first time in a year that we’ve attempted to take her to a movie and I’m happy it was a success! Christopher Robin was a slow movie, but the kids all really liked it, except for Reese, who leaned over halfway through and said, “what is this sad movie?! It’s supposed to be for kids but it’s like they’re trying to make us cry!”
The themes were good: focus on your family, live today, enjoy today, and don’t forget to play. I’m thankful for the simple pleasure of being able to take most of my children to a movie, today. And for rainy days in August to temper this too hot of a summer, and give our scorched earth a drink. And for the root beer floats and a nerf gun battle on the front porches indulged in after the movie.
