We had an unusual Saturday

It crossed my mind to take the kids to see Captain America, so I can stay in the loop for Avengers 2.  If I had another boy his name would be Joss.  So with Aunt Brenda and Vandy in town visiting, we pull into the theater.  AB hops out the car to see when the next showing is and tells me.  I hop out the car and buy the tickets and discover she got the time for the 3D showing.  I love my kids but I'm not buying $16 to see a movie.  8:40, hmm, I'm going to lose the baby and maybe Rowan with that showtime but I went for it.  And while we were on an unusual Saturday kick, they even got McD's for dinner.

Quick meal at home, change into pants for the Irish twins, and we were out the door to pick up my Wing Stop wings.  Heavens knows how long I would have had to wait had I not phoned in my order earlier.  Oh wait, I waited longer than the girl who was ordering as I paid for the order I had called in.  Wings Stop on a weekend night is not a place to go, unless you have nothing but time on your hands.  Finally got my order and jumped in the car. 

Vandy and Jory went ahead to get popcorn, while I grabbed Teddy's quilt and the girls and went in search for seats.  The only spot available for us all to seat together was first row or second.  The girls were all for the front row, AB wanted the second and so that's where we sat.  At times that was a dizzying feat, but we made it through and got a nice shout out to Pulp Fiction.  If I had another son named Joss, his middle name would have to be Quentin.  Surprisingly enough Layla was the only one to fall asleep and since she couldn't find a comfortable position on me, she sat in her own chair and slept.

I only had to shush Rowan and JOry once.  Rowan seemingly wanted to have a conversation with Aunt Brenda.  I'm sure she was asking questions about the movie.  She loves asking questions about a movie or show, she knows you're both watching for the first time together.  And who knows what Jory was saying to Vandy, but I told him to pipe down, it's a movie.

Good movie, I like Chris Evans as Captain.  I think Black Widow needs her own movie.  Scarlett's coldness works well for an action hero.

By 11:30 we were home and Jory and Vandy were outside trying to see stars with Jory's new telescope he bought with his allowance money.  Not sure how much you can see or how far you can see with a $9 portable telescope, but maybe I'll be surprised one night.
