Let's Go to the Movies!

Tonight was a wild one at our house tonight!  Madison, McKenzie, and Morgan were thrilled to have next door neighbor, Sean, over to play tonight.  There was a game of hide and seek, pizza in the kitchen, and eventually, a movie.  Madison tells Sean to stand at the bottom of the stairs while she and McKenzie dressed for the show.  The movie of the night, according to McKenzie, was Mommy I Shrunk the Honey.  In actuality it was Honey I Shrunk the Kids.


So there stands Sean at the bottom of the staircase, waiting on the girls.  He is sporting his usual attire of shorts, T-shirt, and flip flops.  Something bright catches my eye at the top of the stairs.  I turn to see McKenzie standing there, dressed in her finest sequences and black patent leather church shoes.  While she slowly descends, Madison is singing "Let's Go to the Movies" from the musical Annie.  Madison yells to Sean to take McKenzie's hand and escort her to her seat on the couch.  To my shock, he follows her direction.  And then comes back to meet Maddie at the bottom of the stairs!

So here she comes, Miss America Maddie, in her finest dress up outfit and white go-go boots from Halloween.  Sean took her by the hand and sat her on the couch, at which point he flops down on the short couch and spreads out comfortably to watch the movie.  Hysterical!

Sean is a great guy.  He and Maddie were in the same class for kindergarten and first grade.  He used to hate being the only boy on the cul-du-sac but now he doesn't mind so much.  Sean is the only child of a wonderful couple next door and I am willing to bet their dinner hour is very calm and quiet.  The poor kid could barely eat tonight for McKenzie yelling and laughing, Maddie waving her hands in his face to the point the kid is practically laying down in his chair to avoid being hit, and Morgan pooping up her back at the table.  Sean was like, Gross!  What is that smell??  God bless sweet Sean.  He may never come back to our house for dinner again.  I can guarantee he has never attended a finer or better dressed movie experience.
