It seems that Cate Blanchett is the disciplinarian in her household, as the mother of three was spotted dining out with her two sons Dashiell John and Roman Robert, along with family and friends, and she was sure to not let them misbehave.

According to an eyewitness, "As the two boys ran around the outside of the restaurant Cate kept a watchful eye while maintaining that cool mommy vibe."



In other Cate Blanchett related news, "Australian police have dropped an obscenity investigation into a controversial photography exhibition after the Indiana Jones actress urged Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd not to censor the show."

According to press reports, "Police in Sydney, Australia, shut down an exhibition of photographs by respected artist Bill Henson last month because the pictures showed images of naked children. Now, police have dropped the investigation after being advised there would be no reasonable prospect of convicting Henson."

Just days after the exhibition was closed, Blanchett wrote an open letter in which she "insisted Rudd should not block Henson's work."

Cate wrote, "We wish to make absolutely clear that none of us endorses, in any way, the abuse of children. Henson's work has nothing to do with child pornography and, according to the judgment of some of the most respected curators and critics in the world, it is certainly art."

Despite deciding to end the investigation, Rudd whole-heartedly is against the exhibition, stating that it is "revolting".
