Polar Express

The kids have a new favorite movie. Last Friday night we watched Polar express for the first time. Matt has been wanting to have a camp out in the family room with the kids, so we put up the small tent and threw in an air mattress, some blankets and some pillows to watch Polar Express. They all loved the tent idea and while Nolan and Parker crawled in and out of the tent, Nicole, Mom and Dad tried to watch the movie. Once the boys settled down, they enjoyed the movie too. In fact for the last week that has been the only movie that they have watched and unfortunately it starts itself over automatically. So if I don't get to it right when it ends, then I hear boos and hisses from the crowed when I try to turn it off. The original idea for the camp out was for all of us to sleep in the tent but it is only a three man tent I threw that idea out and went upstairs to my bed. Matt decided that he wasn't sleeping in there either so the kids enjoyed a night in the tent by themselves, which they didn't mind one bit.
