Today I am thankful for movies. It was so nice tonight to sit together as a family (I think we need one more rocking chair or even another loveseat in here...) and watch a movie together. We watched a new favorite, "How to Train Your Dragon" on BluRay. We watched it with the trivia track and everyone except the youngest 3 were reading the popups and learning cool stuff.
We have a lot of movies. Tom was employed by a company that worked closely with movies for a long time. We buy movies when we find the keepers. We check out movies at the library and Blockbuster Online, starting to use free codes at Blockbuster Express and Redbox.
Very rarely we go to movie theatres. Fun, but expensive. It's more fun to be able to watch them at home with everyone and pop popcorn. I think the last few movies we saw in theatres were Toy Story 3, Enchanted, and Monsters Inc. We went to the drive in a few times too when we were near one, in Amarillo, TX and Indiana, PA. I think we took the kids to Finding Nemo at a drive in Ohio.
We watch very few PG 13 and nothing R, just because we don't agree with things being included in movies that go against what we hold as our standards. There are still so many good movies out there even with that rule. We are really looking forward to seeing Megamind and Despicable Me and Shrek the 4th.
We love movies :) Time for another Star Wars marathon. Or Pirates of the Caribbean. Hmm.
