A Day at the Movie!

My friend Karen is very good at finding deals (as most of you know from previous posts)...
She called me Saturday and asked if I had $9 because "Hotel for Dogs" was playing at the "cheap theatre" in Merrillville...
Our bank doesn't have debit/atm cards, so if we don't plan ahead many times we don't have cash...but alas we had exactly $9! :) We ran to Wal-Mart before the movie to buy some candy. I know you aren't really supposed to do that, but I have a hard time paying $3 for a candy bar you can get for 50 cents! I remembered you can write a check for a little bit over to get some cash back there, so I said we could get slushies at the theatre.
I was so excited when we got the tickets because there were COUPONS (you know how I love those) for FREE popcorn! Our drinks came to $11 which really stunned me, but...$20 for the three of us to see a movie and have our favorite snacks isn't that bad when you really think about it...
Matt had never been to the movies with Samantha before, so it was fun for him to watch her reactions and how she handles herself. The poor thing doesn't weigh enough to keep the chair from folding up on her, so she kept sitting like an accordion!! She even got her feet stuck a few times.
All in all it was a good wintry day activity...I'll be checking the paper more carefully for movies she wants to see at the "cheap theatre" :)

Have You Given Up?

So I am thinking that most people have given up on me! We were without a computer for a VERY long time...but I'm back!!! The sad thing is I can't find my camera...but...hopefully I'll find it soon and post a bunch of fun new blogs!!!!
