Movies, Pizza, and Brownies…Oh my
We are a family that loves to watch movies. We also love to share with the kids the shows that we enjoyed when we were little. Both kids LOVE Tom and Jerry, all the Disney movies, and the classics like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and The Wizard of Oz.
While they (at least Puddin’ Pop at 2.5) are a little small for “game night” we’ve started a new tradition of Friday night Movie night. We get pizza for dinner. It’s the one time a week that the kids get to drink soda (pop, where I come from) and we settle in for a good movie. When we finish eating, we all snuggle up on the couch and enjoy the bonding time. I also try to make sure we have brownies or cookies on hand for our sweet tooths. Nothing goes better with pizza then a dessert of warm brownie topped with ice cream.
We let the kids stay up late. and hope they sleep in (which, of course, never happens). It’s a tradition I hope we can keep for a long time. I know it won’t be long (it won’t seem like long, anyway) before the kids have lives of their own. Slumber Parties, and interests other than us, will get in the way of this precious time we have together. I want to hold on to it as long I can.
