Mackay Madness: "Drive-In"

"Drive-In"

We took our kids to the drive-in to see "Kung-Fu Panda" last weekend. It was really fun up until the movie started. Easton would not sit still and kept trying to dive out of the truck. And if we put him on the ground, he just went from car to car waving at all of his fans! Needless to say, I had to sit in the cab of the truck with him strapped in his car seat for the last half hour of the movie. And that's not the worst part...because I was facing the opposite way inside the truck, I couldn't see the movie and I was looking down into someones truck bed...it was two freakin' huge people making out ( I mean seriously making out) right in front of me. I was dying!!!!! What were they doing at "Kung Fu- Panda?" Idiots. Get a room, or at least go "inside" your car.

The kids had a blast. They sat in lawn chairs in the back of the truck with blankets, treats, and glow sticks! (Thank goodness they did not witness the "PORN" going on around them.)

Amy said...: Can you believe that I've never been to a drive in movie. I know, so deprived! Anyway, you should give Kung Fu another chance. We quite enjoyed it!; June 27, 2008 at 9:49 AM
Wendi said...: Apparently you got your fair share of viewing "large animals" for the night. The drive-in movies are a good time. We went to one together way back.
Kung Fu Panda is a great show. I agree with Amy, give the flick another shot. Yeah for Jack Black! I still laugh at his dance moves from his American Idol performance as a Pipp!; June 27, 2008 at 11:45 AM
Lisa Erskine said...: Drive in's are fun...(except for when it involves watching porn...sorry about your experience)! The last one we went to was also Cars with you guys...long time ago! I guess it's time to go again! How was Joe's?; June 29, 2008 at 3:31 PM
schaars said...: How fun that was a cute movie I thought! I can't imagine Sienna at a drive in she would also be strapped in her car seat. I swear she has gotten ten times harder these past few weeks. Her attitude has doubled and she is the biggest I mean biggest mess maker!; June 29, 2008 at 7:52 PM

Rogers Family Blog said...: That is so funny about those crazies getting it on! You had a different kind of movie, eh? I think it sounds so fun going to a drive-in, but then again, I think I would end up in your same situation!; June 30, 2008 at 5:24 PM
Natali Thompson said...: OK, so I just read this one after the last comment I left-nothing like some porn to add to a fun family outing!; July 1, 2008 at 2:39 PM

From the mouths of "our babes":

*Our doorbell rang. Chance ran to get it. No one was there. He said, "oh darn,it must have been a knocker-ditcher." (Otherwise known as a doorbell ditcher.)

*Chance climbed in the back of the car this afternoon, and said "ewww mom, the back of your car smells gross...it smells like fries and poo all mixed together."

There was a little boy acting very naughty in Chances primary class...he turned and told the boy that he was an "ANGRY ELF." The teacher told me that it made her whole day and she nearly peed her pants laughing. (We were visiting at a different ward, which makes it even funnier because he didn't even know the boy.)

*Chance's kindergarten teacher's name is Mrs. Rasband, he came home and told Brandon that her name is Mrs. Wristband! Close enough

*As we were driving through the farmlands, Addie blurts out from the backseat, "it's cool how HAY grows, it just randomly pops up in perfect little blocks!" (She was DEAD serious)

*We came home from camping and Addie turns to me and says, "Mom, it feels so good to be home and walk on the grass and have a cup of milk!"

*We ate at a "Thai" restaurant tonight. Addie was so sick of peanuts on all of the food. She finally looked at me and said, "what the heck, do they have a peanut tree in that kitchen or what?"

*Chance asked me, "Mom, why Jesus make me so fast?" (Basically asking why he is such a fast runner)

*Chance was looking through the neighbors fence at their dog and he came running back across the street and said " oh sick, that dog just bless you'd all over my face!" Apparently, that means the dog sneezed on him!

*Chance calls "Walkie Talkies"... "Hickey Tickies"

*Hannah told me that we are going to give her "arthritis" because we are making her camp in a tent this year. (We sold our big fifth wheel last year.) Poor kids!

*We went thru the drive-up at Wendy's and they were out of Frosty's. As we pulled away, Chance murmurs to himself: "damn, damn, damn!" (I will take full responsibility for that one!) Needless to say, we had a little chat!

*Chance says that "chocolate milk" is his favorite taste!

*Chance was picking the seat of his pants today, and I said "what's wrong son, do you have a snuggy?" And he said, "no mom, I don't have a snuggly, my bums are just stuck together.

*Tonight at dinner, Addie told us that her favorite solid food is BUTTER and her favorite liquid food is SPRAY BUTTER!

*Chance told me today that his brain was making him scared to go to school. (He just kept holding his head in his hands)

*We had a "chick" die this weekend. Of course the kids made us do a burial. Apparently it freaked Chance out, and he wouldn't sleep in his bed because he just knew there were dead chicks in the sheets, and his feet could feel the feathers!

Easton "Such a Big Miracle, in such a Little Boy"

For those that don't know, our little boy nearly drowned in a bathtub accident when he was just 7 months old. I had run a bath for myself and left Easton (who could barely crawl) in his room on the floor. I ran out to the kitchen to clean up a glass my daughter had broken. When I returned to the bath... Easton had pulled himself into the bathroom and was floating face down in the water. He had his feet pajama's on which helped him slip over the side. He was under for about two - four minutes and it took four minutes of CPR from his daddy before he took his first breath. He was taken by ambulance to "Primary's" where he stayed in the ICU overnight. He had a full recovery. We are so, so lucky! He is ONE YEAR OLD now and we're so happy that our heavenly father decided that we could keep him!!! He brings so much SUNSHINE into our lives. "We love you Eastie". I put this on my blog for my own journal, but also for people to always be aware of your kids around water...they are capable of sooo much more than you may think!
