Ramona & Beezus Movie review on a Quiet Family Sunday

Had a nice little at home family day today. Cleaned out a closet this morning, while Dad played with the kids. The rest of the day was spent playing around together. Reading Are You A Cow about 20 more times, and enjoying the sun coming in from our big sliding doors. We are in the process of making them a play area out on the patio. Hopefully, soon it will be safe and ready for them. We wanted to go to the playground near our building today, but it is still very muddy. With such tiny legs, they dont have to sink far. So we did what we could to bring in some sun.

For dinner, my husband made an excellent pork chop meal. After baths, we cuddled up for family movie time! Tonight's feature? Ramona & Beezus! This was a totally cute movie. Had some great actors in it and the little girl is incredibly adorable and an excellent little actress. John Corbett is handsome and played such a fun dad. Josh Duhamel is a hottie an did an excellent job is a kid friendly role. Selena Gomez, was relatable in her role as big sister with an annoying little sister. The two portrayed the love/hate relationship so well. Of course, Sandra Oh in the role of elementary teacher was so fun! She still seemed the slight uptight person she plays in Greys Anatomy but she was a lot softer I suppose. It was interesting to see her in a different light, since she doesnt show up in many other things. Over all it was a very cute movie. I think it brought the books to life very nicely. It was also very clean. The family interracted with each other, there wasnt any use of computers or cell phones, which was nice and refreshing. They sat down to dinner and conversation every night and they even babywear. Great family night movie pick!

Now kids are in bed, and we parents are baking some cookies! Honestly its not that we dont want to share them, the kids were just completely worn out. We made them play hard today :) Any good suggestions for future family movie nights?
