Movie Night

Every once in a while we have movie night. The kids get really excited. They get to haul out the little red couch and bring down all the pillows off their beds. They eat popcorn and drink lemonade and ask millions of questions because we always make them watch something they have never seen before. Usually it is an old Disney flick, one that was old even when I was a girl. Our all time favorite is The Swiss Family Robinsons. We have watched that one over and over again. Tonight we watched The Shaggy Dog. The original. In black and white. It seemed that every single second E was asking what was going to happen next. He couldn't sit still. He is a very literal child and was so concerned about what was going to happen next. And by next I do not mean the long plot, I mean the next second. (Do you understand why at six and a half he considers Little Bear his favorite show?) M just wanted to be sure that the boy turned back into a boy after being a dog.
