Yes, I'm a few days behind. I have had plenty of ideas in my head, just no time to "write" them! I sat down with the girls and watched Flicka 2 the other day, and it made me cry. I never wanted to reach through the screen and punch someone so much in my life as the neighbor in that movie! I know, not a very Christ like thought. He really needed a lesson in reason and compassion, and his daughter was a flat out jerk, but I don't think hauling them through the screen would have been a very great example to teach them how to treat others!
The really funny thing is, the brat neighbor girl was also in another movie I've seen recently, two of my favorite Christmas movies in fact, and she was the sweetest girl in the world in Christmas in Canaan and Christmas Comes Back to Canaan...guess she's a good actress!
Flicka 2 was a good family movie. It made us laugh, it made us cry, and it made us live in the moment with the characters. I don't think you can ask for more than that! It was kind of strange to see the dad in a movie. You hear his voice in so many commercials and animated shows, that it is different to see his face!
Last night when I was busy not sleeping (lovely cold with a cough), I also caught up on a few Christmas movies I had saved on the DVR. There was one called Under the Mistletoe that was especially touching. I cried most of the way through the movie, some from joy and some from sadness. It was very heart touching, though maybe a little was cut out of the flow of the plot, it followed pretty well and was a sweet and touching show.
