We tried to start the tradition of every Friday being Family Movie Night before we moved, but somehow we, and by we I mean Hubby and I, were always so exhausted that it usually didn't happen. Fridays were supposed to be Hubby's day off, but he usually had to work at least a little. And the girls and I were in a homeschool performing arts co-op that that left me so drained I wanted to go to bed at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
However, since moving to BR we've had family movie night every Friday night so far. I believe this is due largely to the fact that we aren't involved in anything else yet. No homeschool groups or co-ops, no friends to get together with, not really having anywhere to go. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. All of the girls love watching a movie together, although that may be more because of the popcorn than all of us being together. But Hubby and I do enjoy us all being together and enjoying something as a family. And as we get settled more here and join groups and find friends, I think that we'll have finally established the routine of Family Movie Night so that it is a tradition that will stick for years! Tonight its Dr. Dolittle--old school! What are you doing with your family tonight?
