What's more exciting than movies, popcorn and Chutes and Ladders?

Doing it all inside a FORT.It was one of those days today... you know, where you just don't feel like doing anything. I can usually get my kids to relax and watch something if it's inside a homemade hut, but having only boys does have a downside.. the movies had to be Zathura and Shark Boy. I wanted an Anne of Green Gables marathon or Pride and Prejudice A&E style. Better luck next time.

Oh-- a side note. The other day the boys (including Aaron) were watching Pirates of the Caribbean. After a scene with Elizabeth (Kiera Knightly) Ben comes over to me in the kitchen and says, "Why does Elizabeth on Pirates look exactly like that Elizabeth in that girl movie?" (referring to the new pride and prejudice.) Well, it's the same actress, and she so happens to have the same name in both movies. A little hard to explain to a 6 year old..

My answer: Girls are fickle, Ben. We can't seem to make up our minds. She does love Darcy, she really does. It's just that sometimes she gets bored and wants a little excitement. Will Turner is the only one who can give that to her. Does that make any sense?
Ben: Um, I guess.
