March 24

Friday is usually movie night at our house, and tonight was no different, though we did deviate from the animated Disney norm by introducing the kiddos to "Back to the Future."

Abby initially pulled her customary Stubborn Pre-Teen routine and tried to resist, but it didn't take long before she was engrossed in the plot just like everyone else. Brady laughed until he could hardly breathe at points, and Isaac showed off his sharp skills of deduction by figuring out that Marty McFly was going to convince his dad to ask his mom out by pretending to be from another planet. (I was genuinely surprised when he caught onto the wording in advance and pointed it out!)

It was way fun to watch it with them. It was a little sobering to see how many '80s ideas (and items) that we had to explain (and identify) for them, but man, what a gift to be able to watch a movie I watched as a kid with my own kids. That's an oft-overlooked blessing for sure.
