I have to confess I am a sucker for watching movies as a family. It's one of the things that we can do as a family that doesn't require us to leave the house, dress fancy, or worry about being somewhere on time. Plus we can do it in our pjs and eat junk food what's not to love?
It can also lead to the shocking discoveries and confessions. Highlights of last night:
The hubs,"No, I never watched Lilo and Stitch, I always figured it was about a rich girl in Hawaii with her koala"
Me, "No, I've never watched the Goonies, therefore I have no understanding of your socially relevant quote."
The hubs to the kids "Does anyone want a root beer float?, anyone at all?, we need to make some room in the freezer." cue blank faced non responsive children.
15 min later
The oldest "So when are we having rootbeer floats?"
The best part is we have been doing movie night with the kids since they were still itty bitty. We have watched some awesome movies, we have watched some trite and mediocre movies. There have been a few movies that have been turned off as horrified parents realized that oh this really wasn't appropriate for the kids. Some nights we have had someone missing because they had work or a sleep over but generally movie nights are something consistant that we do together. I will take what moments of happiness we have even if they are in front of a big screen.
