We started doing regular Movie Nights with the babies a few months ago. At first they would get bored after about 20 minutes, but lately they’ve watched almost an entire movie. We go all out with popcorn, candy, and juice. Heaten our TV hog is usually on Daddy’s lap while Shenzie sits next to me. A long time ago when I looked into our future this is what I saw. Our family hanging out together laughing and cuddling on the couch during movie night. I love movie night!!!


Some of our theaters offer free kids movies during the summer which is just awesome. Last week Jeff took a vacation day and we headed out for our first Movie Day in a real theater. I tried to talk it up to the babies, but of course they had no idea what a theater was so when we got there they were in awe. I thought for sure Heaten would sit and watch the entire movie *Space Chimps* and Shenzie would want to roam around and play. Much to my surprise Heaten was more interested in the projector and lights than the actual movie and after about 30 minutes on my lap he was up and ready to explore the theater. Shenzie sat on my lap for the rest of the movie eating her popcorn and enjoying the film. It was SO much fun! I wish Daddy could go with us every week as I don’t know if I’m up to taking them alone. It might be tricky, but I figure hey, it’sfree and if we have to we can always leave early, so I’m sure I’ll be writing again soon about our next theater experience!!

What are the kids’ fave movies? We tried watching Bee Movie and I thought it was so boring. N&A were not that thrilled with it either.
