Old movies, new generation

Friday night we had family movie night and we were going to watch Star Wars 1, but we couldn't find it anywhere in the house. (Then remembered Sean only had the original 3) I had picked up Short Circuit from the store for $5 a while back and so we watched that. The boys thought it was so funny, but Asher really was so funny about it. I wish I had gotten his reaction on video. The only downfall was the language. I couldn't believe how many bad words were in it and it be PG. CRAZY! Never remember that as a kid, but when you watch it from my perspective of having young kids, it's different. But....Johnny 5 is ALIVE!

Tonight Sean went and rented Star Wars after the boys hounded him all weekend about it. We realized it was a little over there head but they still enjoyed it. Wes and Suzanne even came for the first night revealing of the movie. Asher was again the funniest. Sean even kept giving him the pacifier to quiet his comment down but he would hand it back to him and keep talking in his own little language. ROFL

But there's nothing more fun than sharing old movies you watched as a kid with your kids. While at the lakehouse a few weeks ago we were watching Princess Bride and Boston watched some of that and thought it was so funny. The movie Annie they especially love. And many more to come!
(In the photo the boys are playing around in costumes I picked up this week. The Buzz one is for Dallas Halloween costume and the Darth Vader one was just one I got for fun since it was only $5. But Boston took a liking to it-even though he didn't know who Darth Vader is. He had a bunch of question about him. I told him he needed to ask daddy. He asked if he was a robot and Sean replied that he was half robot. Boston's face was in complete amazement. So funny. Sean said, "I love the fact that he's so excited about Star Wars and he hasn't even seen it yet!"
