Movies and girls

We went to the movies today with Connor.  There was a new movie out that we couldn't wait to see, Percy Jackson and The Lightening Thief.  It was a really good movie.  As the movie began to play Connor sat up very straight in my lap and started watching.  For the first thirty minutes or so he sat and actually watched what was going on!  I am not sure if it was the colors or the sounds but it appeared as if he were enjoying himself!  He sat through the entire two hour movie and didn't make a sound.  He did fall asleep half way through but even when he woke up he didn't make a peep.  It is so very neat to see what a good baby he still is.  All three of my children have been very well behaved from an early age, I am truly blessed to have such wonderful little ones.

We have only two of our four children this weekend and I actually enjoy those times.  It is stressful sometimes with all the children here and the drama that the girls add to the household.  I can't believe I was that "girly" when I was younger.  I do remember some of the crazy things my sister and I used to do though.  Jumping off the motor home, finding baby kittens and trying to bring them all home, calling mom collect from the pay phone across the street and scaring the stew out of her, and once we stood at the end of our street with our friends late at night listening to our dad snoring!!! Mom and dad had left the window open and we were laughing so hard that I thought we would never stop.  I guess I can see how the girls can be so girly because not so long ago I was seven and giggly and fearless!  When they are driving me nuts I should think back to when I was their age and remember how everything seemed to be the end of the world as we know it!
