Family Movie Night

Woo hoo! Movie night! We usually try and have at least one movie night a month, more if we can get together. Tonight was ordained a movie night and now the trick? Trying to find a movie everyone likes. Usually we end up with an animated one, like we really liked the Ice Age movies. The last couple were the Monster Versus Aliens ones, they are really cute.

As far as family movies that would appeal to kids aged 6 to 21, now that is a little tricky. Usually like I said we end up with an animated one. Though some of the cute ones like Daddy Day Care and the one about the Dad using his kids blanket with Eddie Murphey were pretty cute.

And of course part of the fun of movie night is the food. Usually popcorn, but occasionally we will break down and have ice cream. I don't eat ice cream though, so Hubby does not like to do ice cream. I think I ate too much ice cream as a teen and have sworn off it! Now if you talk cookies, I am all over that!

DRY SPELL

I have truly enjoyed our little summer. It has been relatively dry this month and we are enjoying the heck out of it. It is nice to go out in the evening and not have to take the umbrella and roll your pants up. Costa Rica has some weird weather patterns, but we are adjusting to them and even learning when it is really going to rain.

For example you would have thought it was going to rain today. When I went running this morning it was super humid and clouded over. But it just stayed cloudy all day and really humid. Now we have figured out when it starts out a little cloudy and overcast, and windy, it is not going to rain.

Now when it starts out in the morning really hot and sunny you are almost gauranted rain. Now that can fool you once in awhile.

Even though it was in the eighties today the girlies kept saying it was winter. That as they ran around in their summer dresses playing on the swing in the backyard. So after their naps we had popcorn and hot chocolate to get in the spirit of winter.
