I Love Friday Nights (316/365)

Matt made pancakes and popcorn tonight, per usual. After dinner the
girls both had baths and Daddy set up a tent in the living room so we
could watch one of our Goodwill 47¢ VHS movies (we chose ET) that we
bought today. Yes we still have a VCR, and no I don't plan on getting
rid of it any time soon. Anyway, Alice loved the movie, but got really
scared when the guys in suits appeared looking for ET. So scared in
fact that she rushed to sit on my lap (I can sit on the floor under a
saggy sheet tent for only so long). By the end of it she had forgotten
about the scary bits and was throughly engrossed with ET. I'd say it
was 47¢ well spent!

She bought it with a gift card she got from Auntie Mary and Uncle Andy
for her birthday. Apparently they are pretty popular toys, I think
they are going to be one of the big toys this Christmas season just
based on what I've seen in the store. Personally I don't get their
appeal, or their price tag, but whatever. She's happy.
