Narnia....here we come!

The past several weeks we have been reading "The Chronicles of Narnia. The Lion,the Witch, and the Wardrobe." at bedtime. We have finished all 17 chapters and it was time to watch the movie. The kids could not have been more excited. We ate our supper (chicken tettrazini from baking day....yum yum!) and then took early baths. We cuddled up to start the show.

We even had lion cookies (in honor of the great King Aslan).

Throughout the movie Kaleb kept declaring, "I've seen this movie before." We were trying to explain to him that he hadn't but that he knew what was going to happen next because he had read the book. He wouldn't go along with us....he kept insisting that he had in fact watched this movie before. He's a stubborn little rascal....you'd think he was a firstborn....oh wait, he is a firstborn! That explains so much!

We also let Aubri Jane watch the movie with us even though she did not listen to the book (we read it after she was in be each night). She really liked it as well. She became particularly interested in Mr. Tumnus (or "Mr. Tum" as she called him). She kept saying, "Mr. Tum have so silly ears!" and after the White Witch turned him into stone she became increasingly concerned about him. Every couple of seconds she would declare, "Mr. Tum cyin cuz he not want be stone. Dat witch be mean him." She could not get past the fact that he was crying when he became a statue. What a glorious moment it was for her when Aslan breathed on Tumnus and he came back to life. Truly, Aslan was a hero to ALL that night!
