Since Sean and I had to drive seperate vehicles I told him to go get the tickets and Lylli and I would meet him at the restaraunt. When he finally got there he told me that there was a sign at the theater that said "Children under 7 will not be admitted to PG-13 (and above) movies after 5pm". WTH??
Shouldn't it be my right to not take my child to a PG-13 movie? And, when most adults work until 5, when else are they supposed to take their child to the movies? AND if you won't allow my child into the PG-13 movie why don't you show at least one child's movie after 4 pm??
So, we ate and headed on over to Toys R' Us to use Lylli's birthday card from Geoffrey the Giraffe. That trip would have been more exciting if they hadn't stuck the Star Wars stuff right at the entrance. Once Sean caught sight of it we were stuck there for a while. By the time we got to the Princess and Barbie aisle the store was closing :(. But, Lylli got a cute birthday balloon and crown and used her $3 off coupon for a Barbie purse and necklace set (Sean's idea).
In the car, as we were leaving, Lylli said it was the 'best birthday ever'. Gah, she is just so cute!
BTW, Lylli, my little Princess, will be 4 on the 13th. I can not believe that she is that old already. She amazes me every day. She is addicted to poop/fart jokes and loves to smack people's butts. Its like her greeting.
“I must learn to love the fool in me - the one who feels too much, talks to much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laught and cries. It alone protects me against that utterly self-controlled masterful tyrant whom I also harbor and who would rob me of human aliveness, humility, and dignity but for my fool.”
