Family Movie Night: Sky Captain & the World of Tomorrow

As you can tell by the title, tonight's flick was "Sky Captain & the World of Tomorrow". A little steampunk, a lot retro-futurism, a touch of Victorian Adventure, and dirigibles = totally awesome viewing!

Marty had the attention span of a gnat. It might be because he watched "Return of the Jedi" earlier and was movied-out, or because he got bored in the "talking parts." He would get down and play, then come back to the couch when it got exciting again.

Ellie made it through the previews before she ran off the first time. She was in and out a lot, sat down and ate popcorn, and sat down to eat pizza with us when it arrived. The coolest part was when the movie caught her attetion. She had gotten up to leave when the tv made an elephant sound. She stopped in her tracks, turned around, and went to the tv. She was fascinated with the miniature elephant and watched until the chacters left the lab. Pretty cool!

And I got to snuggle my man :) We cuddled on the couch. We haven't done that in ages! This is a benefit I hadn't thought of when we planned Family Movie Night, but it's an awsome addition! I'm really loving this.
