It's elementary my dear.....

In our jammies and blankets in tow, we had reserved seats for the 11:59 pm  premier showing of

Sherlock Holmes 2.

Attending a movie at midnight, and having the privilege to say "I saw it first", was a dream of River's.

Jax wasn't sure if he wanted to go, or could even stay awake that late.

A midnight movie was not on Jax's dream list.

He instantly changed his mind after eating a shartload of candy, bounced off the walls, drove us crazy, and then tagged along.

Randy opted out by default.

He was in bed by 9 pm to be ready for work at 5 am.

I don't even think he knew we had left and came back again.

I was VERY tired.

Exhausted is probably a more appropriate word.

But I did my best to pull myself out of it and join the "excited" rally with a cheerful face.

The movie was GREAT!!!

The entire theater laughed, applauded, and left satisfied (at 2:40 am).

There is something about going to a midnight opening, that makes you feel like you are one big happy family with the rest of the crowd.

It's almost like a hidden secret of  'this is where the party is'.  

And  if you're lucky enough to get a seat at the party,  you will happen upon  the amazing after hours energy of the 'premier cult'.

I am actually looking forward to doing this again.......

maybe next time NOT on a school night though!

Whew....it's gonna be a highly caffeinated day!

What we will do for our kiddies.....
