Movie Night

Today, I went to the mall ~ by myself ~ to do a little shopping. I intended to go for just a quick trip, but I got there and then felt the need for a little retail therapy. I don't get to shop by myself very often. But, I have a good excuse. Ben and Cailey both went through a growth spurt recently and have out grown a lot of their clothes...ugh!  Cailey needs pants really bad, but she won't were jeans and she won't wear anything that is a little tight on her legs. That means I have to buy a size larger than she needs, but then the waist is too big and they fall down. I have searched and can not find knit pants with a real draw string in them ~ seriously, why would you make pants for kids with a FAKE draw string! Why not put a real, usable draw string in the pants????  Frustrating!

Saturday night, Cailey and I went to see Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day. Our group totaled 15!!! Our group ~ the Bergs, Jeannine and friends, Richie and friends, Cailey, our friend Michelle, and me ~ decided to make it a special evening and spend a little extra on tickets and have the ultimate theater experience.  There is a new theater called The Landmark at Greenwood Village. For an extra two dollars per ticket, we can get the VIP experience. This includes VIP reserved seating, free popcorn and soda, and in-seat concession service!  We got a menu that included beer, wine, sandwiches, desserts...our order was taken and then  it was served to us in our seats by a theater attendant!!  We sat in luxury; leather recliner seats.  I was feeling rather spoiled by the time we left. It was fun to see Miss Pettigrew this way...it was a special occasion :o) Plus, we got home just in time to catch Saturday Night Live.  Way to go Amy ~ you were great!

It was a special evening for me and Cailey ~ just the girls. Ben stayed home with Scott. We enjoyed our evening together.
