Movie night

Nate & I are truly blessed to have such wonderful parents who are willing to babysit our kids on a whim so that we can have a few hours alone to go watch a movie. Tonight we saw The Blind Side and it was a GREAT movie! Anyway, I allowed the kids to sleep in our bed tonight and while I was cleaning up the living room Nate was getting the kids settled into our bed. I heard them having "storytime" and Nate was basically retelling the story of the kid in the movie we just saw. It was really sweet listening to Delaney ask him, "so then what happened?" and Diego would ask details about the boy and Nate would try his best to answer so they could both understand. Then, Nate starts to tell them about the part in the movie where the boy (who is 17 yrs old, btw) takes a ride from the woman in her car. Although, the boy is 17 and old enough to understand "stranger danger" Nate realized our kids would not. He then had to go on and on about how we never get in the car w/people we don't know. He explains to the kids that the boy knew who the woman was, but we still never get into a car with anyone unless mom & dad say it's okay. He finally moved on & finished telling the story, but something tells me he's gonna stress over this discussion for months to come! Lucky me.

All in all, it was a great movie and the kids really enjoyed their dad sharing a story about it. Great way to end the night!
