What do three hard working, 40+ hour a week family members (2 working parents and 1 kid working hard at learning and playing) do on a Friday night?
"IT'S MOVIE PIZZA NIGHT!"
And... that pretty much sums it up. It takes about every last amount of energy for me to stop and get pizza, open the mailbox to retrieve the Netflix movie, drag myself and a pooped out kid into the house, get on our p.j.'s, crack open a beer, poor a cup of milk, lay out a blanket and pillows on the living room floor, plop the pizza box in the center, and put in the movie. It is then pure bliss to finally relax and have some snuggle time with my kid. It can be a challenge, however, to find a kid movie that does not bore me to tears. I am SO glad that a friend suggested this new series of animated films by the renowned Japanese animator/director Miyazaki. We love, love, LOVE these animated films and they are now our family favorites. This Friday we watched Ponyo for the 3rd Friday night, and last week, the Kid was moved to happy tears watching My Neighbor Totoro for the first time. We are now looking forward to next week's 3rd DVD, Kiki's Delivery Service. We heard that these are the best three of all of films for kid viewing. If you have yet to see these, I highly recommend you check them out!
