A New Twist on Family Movie Night
Posted by admin on October 6, 2008
Family Movie Night
When I was growing up, every Friday was Family Night. We would make pizza, go rent a movie, and hang out and eat pizza, popcorn and soda all night (or at least until about 10 o’clock which seemed like all night to a 3rd grader!)
So of course, I started Family Night with my own kids. However, I quickly realized that by the time I got all three kids bundled up, in the car, and drove to the video store, battled them over what to pick, hoped they weren’t watching the previews of shows I would rather them not know about, and convince them that we really don’t need to spend $5 on a giant gummy snake, that I was pretty much too exhausted to enjoy family night!
Then, high tech came to the rescue! Enter “download a movie” websites! Woo Hoo! Now I can order pizza, sit at the computer, select some appropriate “choices” for my kids, and order the movie – to be downloaded to my PC all without the fights, distractions, r-rated trailers, or excessive candy temptations! And best of all – it doesn’t matter if the weather is cold, rainy, or whatever!
So, why not start a family night at your house, and try out one of these “download a movie” services! Order a pizza, sit back, and relax!
