I don't want to grow up! I'm a Toys R Us kid




Well Toys R Us may be a bit of an exaggeration but I am a big kid. Tonight(Tuesday because I'm writing this early. I'll be way too tired Wednesday morning), at midnight (yes you read that right, midnight. LOL) I will be going to see the new Harry Potter movie. I've never done the whole midnight movie thing before but a couple friends of mine are going and you only live once, right? So we're piling in the car tonight and heading out for coffee and then we'll go over to the theater with probably a bunch of kids who are half our age and see a midnight movie.




I love the Harry Potter books and movies. I never really thought it would be something I would be into but a friend of mine lent me the first book years ago and since then, I've been hooked. I even turned my mom on to the books and we always see the movies together when they come out (which means I get to see it twice). I can't wait until my kids are old enough to watch them with me or when I can lay in bed at night and read the books to them before they go to bed at night.



I love these girls nights like this. I don't get to do them often with two kids and a husband at home but even when I'm not seeing a movie targeted for kids, I still FEEL like a kid when I'm hanging with the girls. For a couple hours we get to forget bills, the dirty house, and what to make for dinner the next night and just cut loose with other people who are just like you.

I'll be sure an update comments on how the movie and my night went!

Do you plan to see Harry Potter? What makes you feel like a kid again?

When I took my son and his friends to see the first HP film, I was prepared to sleep through it. I ended up laughing my head off and wanted to read the books! And thank god I kept reading after the second one...I nearly quit, because I thought I had it figured out. But #3 surprised me...and now I'm a devoted HP fan:) We couldn't get into to our midnight showing; it was sold out. We're going to wait until next Tuesday (discount day) to see it; maybe the crowd will be thinned out somewhat.

See it? No. Makes me feel like a kid? My mother. If I have the need, I go visit and leave dirty clothes on the bathroom floor.

Or eat bugels. From the tips of my fingers.

I love doing the midnight movie thing, though the last time I can even remember doing it is for Lord of the Rings. I like HP okay, but I'll probably wait until this one comes out on video :)

I have not seen any of the HP films and will probably not be going...I was never into the series and I never read the books....

Now that you mention it, the last time I really felt like a kid was standing in line at a local bookstore with my kids to buy one of the HP books. Of course, everyone in the store was dressed up. It was cool seeing that many kids lined up to buy a BOOK.

Well the movie was amazing. The best one by far. I love seeing how much the kids have grown and how their acting as imporved along with their growth. I laughed and cried! I was amazed by how the theater was filled with about 95 percent adults with no children with them. I mean, I know its late but I only saw a couple children in our theater.

We're going to see it this weekend. It's always a family thing for us. We go downtown to see it and eat lunch at BD Mongolians. We LOVE HP!! We have all the DVDs and we've been watching them this week, getting ourselves psyched for Saturday!

We saw HP this weekend. Good movie, not my favorite though. I felt they could've cut half an hour from it easily. Some slow parts. Still, worth the time and money! :)
