MY 3 CHIPMUNKS

IT WAS A FRIDAY AND I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING FUN WITH THE BOYS....

I GOT MATT OUT OF SCHOOL AN HOUR EARLY & TOOK THEM TO THE THEATRE.

MY THOUGHTS WERE HEADING FOR DISASTER DOING IT ALL ALONE WITH ALL 3 BOYS, BUT IT REALLY TURNED OUT VERY SUCCESSFUL. THANKS TO OUR PON RELATIVES IN CALI, WE WERE ABLE TO ALL GO TO THE MOVIES TOGETHER WITH THE GIFT CARDS WE GOT FOR CHRISTMAS.

THE MOVIE...ALVIN & THE CHIPMUNKS.

BEFORE HEADING INTO THE THEATRE I HAD TO PUT SOME MALL FOOD IN THEIR BELLYS TO OFFSET THE ROBBERY COSTS FOR POPCORN.

KILLING TIME BEFORE THE MOVIE...

SO GLAD WE CAME DURING SCHOOL HOURS, IT WAS REALLY EMPTY.

BELOW: MY LITTLE GUNNER

DOUBLE DRAW

OKAY READY TO GO IN....I GOT THE BACK UP POPCORN TO KEEP EM BUSY AND QUIET & THE SODA TO DETOUR THE THIRST.


LUCKILY THE THEATRE ONLY HAD ABOUT 6 FAMILIES ALL TOGETHER INCLUDING US .
RONAN & MARCEL ARE SITTING ON BOOSTERS.

NOW FOR MY RANT....

TICKETS FOR THE SHOW: $27.50

POPCORN & SODA COMBO TO SHARE: $13.50

TOTAL= $41.00

MY ISSUE IS NOT WITH THE TICKET PRICE, IT IS WITH THE DAMN THEATRE FOOD PRICES.....GOOD GOD THAT IS ROBBERY

SERIOUSLY, FOR 13.50 I COULD:

RENT A MOVIE: $ 1

MICROWAVE POPCORN BOX OF 24 POUCHES: $5 (INITIAL INVESTMENT)

2x 2 LITERS: $3

BAG OF CHIPS: $2

3x M&M'S BAGS: $2

TOTAL $13...GIVE OR TAKE WITH TAX

BUT STILL....OH MY GOD

ITS A GOOD THING I GOT US FOOD BEFORE HAND....

BUT, ALL IN ALL, HAVING YOUR KIDS STAY IN THEIR SEATS FOR THE ENTIRE MOVIE: ~~$PRICELESS$~~
