Attempting Mary Poppins: A night at the movies....

I believe every young couple has to start with humble beginnings. I have stories from my parents of surviving on bread and peach jelly...or something like that. If you don't start from these humble beginnings, you don't learn to appreciate what you have when you're a millionaire in silk pajamas. That being said...we have 3 kids and a gigantic machine in the garage that is even more "needy" than children. So instead of paying $50 in babysitting and $20 for a movie, we take advantage of Netflix instant movies. And instead of paying $200 for a Wii so we can watch the movie on the tv, we watch it on our actual computer.

So why does our computer look like this? Because we have children. Apparently an LCD laptop screen cannot withstand the bending and twisting that happens when one child wants the laptop open and the other child wants it closed. Love. Them.

So our fantastically mobile laptop is strapped down to our decade old monitor and attached to two leftover speakers. Now, let's watch a movie.

First, you have to start with back support...

I prefer the ladybug bean bag and Tim likes the Elmo couch. Although he usually needs another couch cushion for a long movie. The chairs help prevent sliding and give a platform for future equipment.

Equipment such as our speakers. One speaker behind each head with the cord running between us and up to the computer. Needless to say, if you're feeling that "drive-in" vibe to make out with your husband, you're either going to end up with the speaker landing on your head or you're going to pull the laptop off the desk. Careful there. Careful, careful.
