Midnight logistics

Apparently I thought I could throw together movie snacks in thirteen minutes before we had to leave for the midnight Man of Steel premiere.

Midnight logistics

This is what panic-shopping your own kitchen looks like when you realize the only substantial food we have is leftover Chinese takeout and half a bag of stale pretzels.

Jake keeps laughing at me from the doorway instead of helping, which is exactly the kind of moral support I need when I’m trying to balance three boxes of candy, two bags of popcorn, and figure out if we can smuggle water bottles past theater security.

The juggling act reaches critical mass.

The man has his priorities straight – apparently documenting my chaos is more important than actually solving it.

We made it to the theater with four minutes to spare and enough contraband snacks to supply a small army. Worth every frantic moment when the opening credits rolled and I had perfectly timed sustenance for the next two and a half hours of Superman saving the world.
