John and I LOVE going to the movies. It seems like a distant memory being able to go without having to plan a week in advance. Sure, we can hire a babysitter (if we want to pay five bucks an hour.) John's mother is usually available, but she has usually had a long week and it's exhausting looking after her. Friends volunteer, but we always feel like we have to rush back home. John had an epiphany today (What if we took Bella along with us?) The Warren theater has a cry room, but you are limited to whatever movie is showing in those theaters. AMC is dangerous and we have a child now. Hollywood is almost as expensive as Warren, but it is a shell of its former glory. Here's the plan. Step 1- STARBUCKS. Step 2- Pick the latest movie possible. Step 3- Keep Bella up as late as possible. Step 4- See if she will sleep through the flick. Step 5- DO NOT become angry if this doesn't work. Step 6- Kick ourselves if it does work, and we have just never thought of it before!
