Last night my daughter, Molly, posted on her Facebook page that she was taking her kids to the movies in the pjs. It was the last night of their Fall Break at school, and they had all done A B work in school this period, so she thought some fun activities over the break would be fun. Unfortunately, she came down with a flu bug and couldn’t keep her promises on Saturday and Sunday, so on Monday, the last break day, she got the kids ready for bed and then took them to see the new dolphin movie. What a treat! How fun.
Doing something out of the ordinary, something warm and cozy and just for the kids is a blessing to any family. Our theaters are close, clean, safe, and empty most of the time, so we’re not talking about a crowded unsafe place. Curling up in arm-less seats with parents who absolutely love you, doing something different, daring (to a child) and fun is what family time is supposed to be about.
I cheer my daughter on with an enormous shout of approval.
Here’s to something new and different.
