Just how old do they think I am?

Last night we decided that we were going to go see Toy Story/Toy Story 2 in 3D. Before the movie we were sitting at the restaurant having dinner. The kids were sharing how they are excited about going, etc.  I mention that the movie is actually an older movie, because I seen it when I was a kid. (Okay maybe I should have said teenager instead of kid).

So I told them I had seen it when I was a kid, but it was not in 3D. To which Superstar replied "So was it in black and white then?" I just start laughing and said "No, it was in color". To which Superstar replied "black and white is a color". Okay he was on a roll that's for sure. So yes when I was a teen (and a younger child) we had color TVs just so everyone is clear! I'm not THAT old!

My husband during all of this was NO help. He reminded me that I was an old "Toby" Mommy. If your kids are familiar with Thomas The Tank Engine then you are familiar with Toby. My son, Superstar, when he was younger 2-4 would call me an old "Toby" Mommy.

Free Movies @ the Theaters

If you are bless to have a Kerasote Theater near you then my MIGHT be able to enjoy FREE movies @ the theaters! Here is a link to a PDF from Kerasote outlining what movies are available, when they are available, and what you have to do! I've done this last year and I can tell you from experience be there as soon as the doors open. Seeing it's first come first serve.

Earth: The Movie

We were blessed to go the movies this last Tuesday, on Earth Day, to see Earth, by DisneyNature. One of the very first things we learned from viewing the movie that there will be a sequel Ocean that will be released on Earth Day 2010. We also learned that DisneyNature in a way developed out of True Life Adventures and Walt's love of nature.

We were highly interested in seeing the movie: Earth, because of the preview:



Some of the preview scenes looked a LOT LIKE the video clips from the DVD: Planet Earth Game that we had bought and have been playing with recently. During the movie and after the movie the kids kept saying mom that looks like the game, or that's in the game. They wanted to know if the movie was based on the game. (seeing the game came first). However, I explained to them that it was the other way around.

We were at the movie theaters for nearly 2 hours, and even though the movie was GREAT, it's NOT something that I would pay full movie price for again. It was one of those things I wished I could just reclined, pull up my pillow, and watch from the comforts from home.

After all, at home, we could pause the movie, answer questions, and hear comments the kids had to share. Normally both have good movie manors, but watching Earth was a little different. They weren't bad, but they weren't good either, they just were a little bit more chatty then normal.

It shouldn't have been a surprise that the movie talked about Global Warming, and the damage that it's causing to Polar Bears. In the back of my mind I kept thinking about Grolar Bears.

So my final opinion is that I'm glad that I went, but come next year we will be staying home and wait for the movie: OCEAN to be released onto DVD!

Pro-Life Video could equal $1,000 scholarship!

Do your children like making videos? Are they pro-lifers? If so they could enter a video/movie in the Susan B. Anthony List current contest and could WIN a $1,000 scholarship. Complete rules and guidelines can be found here. Good Luck!
