Vintage movie weekend....





So, a couple of weeks ago Mason got a new Playstation game called Lego Star Wars. It's actually pretty funny because they have all the scenes from the original Star Wars but the characters are all legos. Anyway, he LOVES it and him and Bob play it a lot (probably too much!)
Anyway, because of this, on Friday night we pulled out the original series and watched V and VI (I think, honestly I wasn't paying much attention to the movie and Kenzie and I ended up falling asleep!) Even though Kenzie fell asleep, she truly likes Star Wars and has a crush on Luke Skywalker. She calls him her boyfriend!


Well, I decided that since Mackenzie loves High School Musical she might enjoy other classic musicals. I was so excited for her to see Annie. It has it all, singing, dancing, and Sandy the dog. I thought she'd love it. Well, it held both kids attention until Daddy Warbucks took Annie to the movie. I guess at that point that was all the singing and dancing that a 5 yr old and 7 yr old can handle. One of them said to the other, "Want to go play?" and that was the end of family musical night! Oh well, Bob and I enjoyed the rest of it. (Bob may have been pretending to enjoy it just so that I wouldn't feel too bad!) I'm still singing "Tomorrow" in my head.
Maybe next weekend we'll watch "The Sound of Music".........

    Confession time... I've NEVER seen the Sound of Music! How sad is that?!?!? Even Ted was appalled to hear that! Sounds like you had a fun weekend!

    You can never figure what kids will like but I'm glad you had a good weekend anyway. The Sound of Music is great, at least I think so. Will doesn't like musicals at all and will not watch them so, good going Bob!
    Have a great week!

    I love it! Remember when the "boys" in the family would go on Royal Ranger capmouts and we "girls" would have movie marathon night? Nothing like I bit of Indania Jones. Harrison Ford was a lot cutier then!

    I give you an "A" for effort on that one. I could handle seeing Annie again and even the Wizard of Oz but...I don't know about the Sound of Music. I've never seen it either.

    How could they not like Annie!?! I used to want to be her. No offense Mom and Dad but she had it made! No parents. . a dog . . a rich man who buys her anything!

    I don't know, I would much rather watch something like Braveheart, and I believe it would have ruined the movie if Mel Gibson would have broke out in some silly song, instead of shouting FREEDOM!
