Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting...

Hey ever done something you knew was going to be a disaster but despite that you couldn't help yourself from doing it anyway? Yeah, we did that recently in the form of taking 4 kids to the movies. One of those kids being Jackson. The movie was KungFu Panda and I thought it was Hil-la-rious!! But one look at the picture below says it all. Why they put arcades in movies I'll never understand. It's the mooovvvies; it's why you came, why do you have to have large bright flashing distracting video games to entice my 4 year old to whine and jump up and down through the whole movie saying, "I want to play video games right now please!!" If I wanted to hear my kids whine I could have just stayed home. But i digress...
The point was air conditioned family togetherness. (It is Texas after all) Movie was great, popcorn always tastes the best at the theater, and Rhett and I got to practice patience and enduring to the end which really, we just don't ever get enough of that it seems, so that was fantastic. I tried to get everyone to give me their best KungFu move in the last picutre but I was informed by the cool police that that was lame. Go see the movie if you haven't. Skadoosh!

Great pictures!-my 'favorite' activity to do with small children is take them out to dinner!

your experience sounds exactly like mine. I loved the movie, though.

I'm right there with ya on the whole video games thing in the movie theater. . .I have cursed the people who have put them there many a time! And you would think it would be a great bribe if they sit still all through the movie. . .oh no, they don't buy that at all! Glad you liked the movie though!

I agree - I just don't think I get enough experiences to practice patience and endurance!!

"Skadoosh!" Cute movie, but really...is it necessary to say "tenders" in a childrens' movie? ;) I love the pictures...they really DO say it all! :)
