Today we went to see The Muppets at our local theatre. We went to the 12:30 showing, but didn't leave the house until 12:23ish. Since we were late, I was a little worried about getting a good seat, but I figured there would still be room. We got our tickets at 12:29. I didn't see anyone in the lobby, but just figured all the movies must be going. We got some treats and walked towards the theatre. We passed some big cutouts for different movies, and Samantha freaked! She wouldn't even walk past them without someone dragging her along.
We finally entered the theatre where, of course, the previews had already started. Samantha was still screaming a bit, so we slowly went in as we tried to calm her down. When we got in far enough to see, I realized we were the only ones in the theatre! It was great!!! My kids could freak out all they wanted, and I wasn't going to have to miss the show!
There was a Toy Story short film right before the show that helped calm Samantha down. She was really excited about everything. She did pretty well through the entire show. She wanted treats quite often, but other than that, she was glued to the show. Zach went a little crazy. Michael and I just took turns holding the wiggly kid. When I had him, I tried to let him sit on the seat next to me with some help from all our coats, but there were just too many interesting things to dive for. So, I held him on my lap while he played "see how many times Mom will pick my sippy-cup up off the floor before she quites giving it back to me." Then he ate gold fish, many of which ended up on the floor as well.
Although it was a little chaotic, we made it through the show. During the finale, Samantha was dancing along, trying to mimic the actions. It was adorable! My kids were able to go crazy and have a great time and not bother anyone! I highly suggest seeing a movie with only your family in the theatre if you ever get the chance!!!
