Groupon Shloupon AND Veggie Tales...Oh yeah!!

Funny story-I've been wanting to see the movie "The Help" and knew there was no way that I could convince Darvin to take me as it's definitely a chick flick! So yesterday when I learned that Groupon had a super discount price on tickets for the Studio Movie Grill we checked to see if "The Help" was playing there. SURE ENOUGH it WAS!! Erin was happy to be invited as my date as she was sure she'd never be able to convince Russ to watch it either.

I carefully checked the terms of the Groupon which indicated that we had to use the tickets between October 8th and December 8th. So we planned a trip to the theater for Saturday. I had an ulterior motive as well thinking that we'd use some psychology on this unborn child. If we make plans she'll want to mess them up and Erin will go into labor, right?! So tonight when it came time to coordinate schedules with Russ to watch Jackson while the girls went to the show we looked online and found that TODAY was the last day that "The Help" is playing at the SMG!!! What?!? No FAIR, it's still playing at a bunch of other theaters in town! We WILL see the show on Saturday (as long as baby's still in utero!) but it'll have to be at another theater. Erin has a gift certificate to another theater, so we can use that and she and Russ can have a date at the SMG at a later time! Oh my!

And those cute little talking and dancing vegetables...Who would have thought that Jackson would be so enthralled with them? Jackson sat on Nana's lap quiet as a mouse and as still as a statue as we watched Veggie Tales together today! Nana had to get up part way through to take a phone call, so we may have to watch it again tomorrow and see if we get the same reaction.
