Last night we watched one of the new movies I got the kids for Christmas. Really Christmas was an excuse to buy a lot of movies I've always wanted! Christmas in Conneticut, A Muppet Christmas Carol...I think partly because we so seldom take our whole gang to the movie theater (#1 because the price to take our fam is almost prohibitive even to a matinee and #2 because there are so few redeeming and acceptable movies that make it to the big screen.) SO, we watched this Vision Forum movie last night. It was kind of a gamble since I'd never even heard of it.
I think my oldest son and husband were gearing up to be bored. But it was a pleasant surprise, both of them really enjoyed it. It's one of the San Antonio Christian film festival winners and all of our kids were giggling and grinning at this high quality "home-made" movie. There was a sincere message wrapped up in the scenario of a family on vacation whose car breaks down outside a floundering B&B. The youngest son, imaginative and funny, stumbles onto the host family's big secret...a supposed treasure left by a deceased grandfather. There's a second movie (lighthearted and funny) and a documentary on the DVD, making it a good deal all around for the $18 I paid for it. I don't know about you, but I feel it's so refreshing to find movies that are neat and funny and not full of things that push the envelope for young viewers. Here are some pictures from our Christmas morning...
Being in Hawaii, I thought a Ukelele (Hawaiians pronounce it Ookelaylay--) would be fun for Josh. Now we're all humming "Buffalo Gals Won'tcha come out tonight...come out tonight..."
Don't ya love Suza crossing her leg?
I think he likes his new toy...since he hasn't come to bed till late every night so far.
Our sweet six month old... So who's ready to start school again?? I am! But, I definitely need a teacher workday. That's one thing I miss from being a "regular" school teacher. You had two whole days every so often to sit in a completely and gloriously empty classroom with your planner and books and just figure everything out with your cup of coffee, then hang out with the other teachers for a potluck lunch in the teacher's lounge. I need to petition the principal of our school for that little bonus, yah? |
