Sleepover!

Sort of... :P

I thought it would be fun to spend one weekend night last weekend and blow up the aerobed, let the girls have their own mini sleepover in the living room, complete with a movie night and popcorn and lots of fun and giggles. It started off with the best of intentions. And they were super excited. However, our choice in movie kinda ruined the plans. We picked Soul Surfer. And if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. Its a great feel good kind of movie. Very inspirational. Its the story of the teenage surfer girl that got her arm bitten off by a shark and still overcame and surfs (very well!) today. True story. Its rated PG. There are no scenes where you actually SEE the shark biting the arm off. Its only implied. The worst it gets is you see blood in the water.

Yet, still... Brooke was terrified during it. And after it. The implication was enough for her. And even just seeing the girl afterwards with no arm.. that was all it took. She didn't want to sleep anywhere but her bed (so much for that sleepover) and was scared the whole night and a few nights since. So, again....I highly recommend the movie. But maybe its more for adults or older kids. Or maybe just the not-as-sensitive kids.
