a movie with the boys

After this morning, I spent some time praying over my boys and my family while I was taking a meal to a lovely family who just had a little baby boy! Anyway, I decided to just spend some time with the boys tonight! We didn't go to prayer service at church...we just hung out at home. Mike actually had to go into work for month end stuff...he left around 7pm and it's 10:38 and he isn't home yet! I will be SO EXCITED when he has transitioned into his new job.

Anyway, the boys are REALLY into Chronicles of Narnia right now because my awesome sister-in-law Maria bought them the Focus on the Family Radio Theater version while she was here in March. They LOVE it!! It is awesome...instead of just reading the books, they have different actors acting the parts. It is very well done.
So, I requested movie The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe from the library and we picked it up yesterday. Tonight was the perfect night for a movie!!

Well, Caden was dressed like this...
Now, look closely...those are Kyle's shorts, and Caden put them on all by himself! He has his waist through one of the leg holes and the waist band of the shorts and the other leg hole are hanging down...HILARIOUS!! Notice the big boy underwear? Well, don't get too excited because not too long after this picture he had an accident!

And the boys looked like this on the couch...

Notice Nate disappeared UNDER the blanket because of a scary part!

Well, the movie ended around 9:30, and then guess what?? We had ICE CREAM!!! Then, I read one chapter to them from The Magician's Nephew, which is chronologically the first book in the Chronicles of Narnia series.

It was a fun night! I love that Nate pointed out to me numerous times how the movie is like the Bible. He really is a great kid!

I love my boys! I look forward to watching God work in each of their lives.

We LOVE the Chronicles series, too! We also have the Focus on the Family audio series - isn't is great?! We have the DVD of Prince Caspian if you ever want to borrow it ;-)

Here's 2 great sites you might be interested in if you ever want to study Chronicles of Narnia at home:

What fun! I love pictures like the one of Caden dressing himself. So sweet. I have Jessica reading "The Silver Chair" this week...I'll have to look up that site Christy told you about!
BTW, my kids plug their ears at scary parts. So weird.

That's so cool that you had "family movie night" (that's what we call it). We like that movie too. Glad you ended the day well!
