Formula For Success

What does it take to get 4 kids (ages 9, 6, 4 and 2) to sit still and quiet for about 2 hours?

Here's my formula:

• 3 boxes Mike & Ike candies (2 grape, 1 tropical)
• 1 box Junior Mints
• 1 box Rainbow Nerds
• 1-16 oz. Dr. Pepper
• 1-16 oz. Diet Dr. Pepper
• 1-16 oz. Dasani water
• 1-16 oz. Coke
• 1-16 oz. Mello Yello
• 1 empty bottle for the 4 year-old to pee in so you don't have to leave the theater during the flick (It went unused! Wahoo!)
• 1 large purse for hiding all the cheap snacks from Dollar Tree (Thanks, Elaine!)
• 5 tickets to the 11:30 am showing of "Ratatouille"
• 1 large tub of popcorn
• 5 seats on the very back row of the theater

Mix altogether and enjoy.
