A lunchtime visitor

Even though Mark's work is 12-15 minutes from our house, he never comes home for lunch.  Which is good, because he might be astounded at the number of chicken nuggets and bowls of rice and cheese that pass for good enough nutrition around here.  Really it probably has more to do with his tendency to take two and a half minutes to eat and then it's back to work.

But I have a suspicion that today might be an exception to his stay-at-work routine, because we have been counting down March 29 for a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time...

Maybe you know what I'm talking about?

Or do you need a clue?












Or two?
 

Yes, we are the proud and very excited owners of the movie Tangled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lily keeps saying "Not at the library.  At our house."  Meaning, can you believe that we actually got a movie that we're going to keep?!?

It's been about 5 years since I last bought a movie.  Curious George, to be exact.  And prior to that I bought a whole slew of other ones that sit around and collect major dust now, including Dora the Explorer and The Lord of the Rings [two separate movies, by the way].  That was back in the era when I didn't really consider the mathematics of student loans--those lovely little things that need to be repaid several times over after law school ends. 

I have it on pretty good evidence that Tangled will be well used and loved (unlike The Two Towers).  Based on the number of times we have watched clips from it on Youtube in the last month.  And based on...is that the garage door opening?  A visitor coming home for lunch (or rather, for Tangled)?

This is the "BEST. DAY. EVER."

Haha! I love that both Bryce and Mark are obsessed with that movie! And I love Sage's frenzied gleeful look in that picture! Have a nice lunchtime!

I can't believe you bought the Two Towers!! I think Tangled will get a leeeetle more use. I wish we were there watching it with you!

We also loved Tangled. I picked it up the other day. Sadly the kids haven't had time to watch it yet. I'm sure they'll watch it a few times next week while they're home.

I miss you and your darling kids. Come visit.

Buying it today! The kids will be excited. So nice when movie appeals to both boys and girls. I hope Mark enjoyed his lunchtime movie-watching break!

Tangled? Awesome! I really really really want to get that movie! It's one of the best. Mike even liked it. Weird. Spring break is the best! We are enjoying it over here too.
