before we left for kansas city, we flipped through netflix looking for a movie that the boys hadn't seen. we really couldn't find much that looked like something that would hold their attention, so we turned to an oldie but goodies - honey, i shrunk the kids. and it was a hit.
since that went over so well, our next pick was one of my brother's favorites from our childhood - i can't even count the number of days that he stuck this in the vcr as soon as he got home from school. last night alex, sam and i settled in to watch short circuit (ben was away at a classmate's bday party) - and half way through alex says "my uncle is right, this movie is AWESOME!" ben is looking forward to watching it today. =)
