90s Family Movie Day

Well it's been like a whole five minutes since the kids caught their last cold so it was high time that they catch another one.

And not only that, but Calen apparently rolled in a colony of exactly three million rabid gnats, because he has (exactly) three million bug bites all over his body. And he takes after his father and swells like a marshmallow in the microwave, so my poor three year old morphed into a red blotchy Michelin Man. Between him and Cam's cough/runny nose, neither kid was in a very good mood today.

A boy and his dog. And his movie. (Beetoven)

So I declared it 90's Family Movie Day courtesy of Netflix. After a Dollar Store trip with friends to get supplies for our big Memorial Day picnic, I plopped the kids in front of the tv with lots of juice and crackers and allowed them to watch movies all day. Not just any movies though, movies that I watched as a kid. God help them.

So we watched Ferngully, Beetoven and Beetoven 2. The boys didn't give a crap about Ferngully (can't blame them - I forgot how stupid indy it was) but they loooved the Beetoven movies (particularly the first one...we watched it twice).

Juno loved the fact that we were watching live action movies of dogs all day.

Engrossed.
