Another Sunday

It's Sunday. The last "officially summer" Sunday of the year. The neighborhood is alive with noises of people working. I have laundry going and the kids are happily playing. I've tossed around the idea of going to feed the ducks but since they are happy and quiet - I think I'll save that for another time.....or for 20 minutes down the road when they *aren't* playing nicely. :)

Yesterday was a rainy strange day so after grocery shopping we rented a couple movies, put a pile of blankets and pillows in the floor and snuggled up to hang out, eat candy, popcorn and nachos as we watched Space Chimps and Hotel for Dogs.

They were cute movies and it was a good way to spend a family day. Way better than paying bills, doing laundry, washing dishes or looking into an auto insurance quote.

Kaylen was positively certain she would "hate" the movies. Certain enough that throwing a fit in front of the Red Box seemed like a perfectly good thing to do. As it turns out, she loved both movies and is still talking about them. I will admit that Hotel for Dogs was a bit intense for her (though it ended happily so that was good) but she still loved it. (And umm...we didn't realize before hand that it was rated PG. Oops! Bad parenting on our part.)

Kelton loved them both. Which was no surprise. As it turns out, his surprise came on Friday when we watched "The Parent Trap" during our Friday Night Movie and Pizza Night. A huge fit on his end before the movie ended with him saying how much he LOVED the movie about 30 minutes into it.

Kids. They really do need to trust us a bit more when it comes to movies we think they will like.

When it is kids finally think their parents know more than they do? Oh right. When they are grown ups with children of their own. Guess I have a ways to go for that to happen. :)
