Movie Night!

Every Friday we have Movie Night at our house.  It's something we adopted from a friend who wasn't able to host any more due to work schedule.  I look forward to it every week.  We never know who or how many people will show up.  We have no idea what movies we'll watch.  And still, it's good friends and good fun.

Each week, we have the children upstairs watching movies they pick out.  It's Mathilda every week if one of the kids has their way.  Lots of times it's Netflix movies.  Downstairs we talk for a while, eat dinner for those that brought it with them. catch up on the week's events and eventually settle down to a movie.

Netflix has turned out to be a good movie night option.  Several people bring their movies of the week over and we get to share subscriptions and watch jointly.  For months I wasn't able to stay awake for the movies at movie night due to pregnancy and post-deliver recovery.   This week, I'm up for both movies.  It looks like I'm getting some stamina back, hooray.

The Big Boy Update:  Nana and Grandpa came back from vacation today.  He was very happy to see them.  They'd been away for three weeks.  They both agreed he was walking (running) much better now than he was when they left.  He's more stable all around.

The Tiny Girl Chronicles:  She's sleeping through the night now, but it's been a challenge to get her to eat the same amount of ounces per day when she doesn't eat at night and has little interest in food just before bed.  We're working on keeping her full as best we can during the day.  In a week or two we're hoping this will work itself out and she'll be more hungry in her waking hours.
