Free Movies!

Okay so Sunday is our family day that means that all the electronic pretty much get turned off on that day. On occasion we will have one on like the Wii but we're all playing it together. It's the one day out of the week that our oldest isn't allowed to find somewhere to stick her nose in a book. Or our youngest bury herself in the container of Legos (we've got a ton of them). Hubby (if he's home) and I aren't allowed to zone out on the computer. Sometimes like this week end we had to do what I call a split shift, lol. We did half of it on Saturday and the other half on Sunday. Saturday night we read more of our book "The Tale of Despereaux" by Kate Dicamillo. We had hoped to finish reading it by Sunday. In our community nearly every Sunday there is a free movie night in our Community Center. Check around in the newspaper, your local church, local libraries, community centers, Chamber of Commerce, and of coarse the internet. With summer coming up you'll be able to find more ususally. Many free movies are done in the summer. You may need to bring your own chair or blanket to sit on. And you'll probably need to pack your own snacks and drinks. But who wouldn't rather pay forty cents for a big bag of popcorn than the normal $5.00 that you do at a theater.

So on Sunday we went and saw the movie, "The Tale of Despereaux" and don't expect it to follow the book. It was a cute movie but I felt they changed it. Now I have to admit that we didn't finish the book before the movie like I had hoped. But there are major changes from the book (the parts we've read and we're over half-way threw the book) from the start. If a character doesn't speak much and you turn around and turn him into a chatter-box that is a major change in the character. When you add new abilities to that same character then you no longer have that same character. See the movie if you get a chance, the kids will love it and it is a cute movie. Just don't hold your breath for it to do justice to the original work!

Okay well now I need to head out for the time being but tonight I'm going to try and get the pictures from our Square Foot Garden on. Hubby was finally able to show me how to get the pictures of the camera.
