Movie Night

"Tickets, please." Last night we had movie night in our house. Anthony and I made tickets for all of us. I checked out a few reviews on http://www.pluggedin.com/ . This is a wonderful site by Focus on The Family. It reviews all movies once they hit the theaters. I check out the review on Plugged In and find out if the movie contains any curse words, crude humor, any sexual content, etc. This way, we know for sure before we expose our little one to anything that isn't necessary. Remember, once they see it or hear it, it's filed away in their precious little brains FOREVER.

We ended up going with Tangled. We have Netflix and Tangled was on there, so we didn't even have to leave the comfort of our own house to rent the movie. Anthony was our movie attendant. Mark and I "stood in line", while the movie attendant punched our tickets for the movie with a hole punch. He loved it! (He has already asked to do it again tonight.) We settled in on the couch together and watched the movie. I have to say, it was a decent movie. One scene brought tears to my eyes, then again, I'm a whimp. Anthony had us fast foward through a couple of parts he thought was scary or was going to be scary, which was fine by us. (We were looking foward to a good nights sleep later that evening anyhow!) Of course, our movie experience wouldn't of been complete without popcorn. It was a great evening spent together in the comfort of our living room. Without cell phones going off, kids crying, people talking or people coming in late to the movie and blocking our view. It was great! Mark joked with Anthony while we watched the credits, that now we had to get in the car and drive home. That was actually a nice thought that we didn't have to go anywhere. :)
