DON'T BE YOUR OWN SOUNDTRACK!


Today we decided to be adventurous!  Yes, we took Xavier and Harper to see their first movie in the movie theater...ICE AGE 3!  Xavier has been watching the other 2 Ice Age movies and loves them, so this was a perfect movie to go to...or was it?!  We got Xavier the kids pack (popcorn, candy & a juice) as promised and we kept telling him that during the movie he needed to be quiet and he agreed!  When we sat down and the previews started, so did the talking as loud as he could, because he needed to be heard over the movie!  Harper also started crying because it was a little loud and she couldn't get comfy.  Then there was this sort of commercial that came on with a baby screaming and kids talking and cell phones ringing and then the tag line came up on the screen, "DON'T BE YOUR OWN SOUNDTRACK, BE SILENT DURING THE MOVIE!"  Oh my gosh...they put that up there only because I was in the audience!!  I felt at that moment like everyone was looking at me and thinking..."YEAH THAT MEANS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY LADY!"  So the movie starts and Xavier is doing his own play by play throughout the whole thing, he dropped his popcorn and we thought he was going to have a melt down and then he had to go potty, but when they got there he never actually went!  Harper slept through most of the movie, I nodded off a couple times and Steve was playing on his iphone!  The most important thing was that Xavier had a good time, but I don't think we will be going back until Cars 2 comes out in 2011!!
