Clifford's Really BIG Movie

Today is Tuesday, and that means that it was Free Movie Day here in FamilyOf5Land!

I took the Royals to see Clifford's Really Big Movie this morning. This is the third week in a row that we have done this (see here and here) and coincidentally enough, it has rained on each and every one of our movie days. Today was no exception - there is a 90% chance of rain. (They really should revise this little prediction, because it is actually raining right now. Isn't that 100%? Ha ha!) The movie theater was absolutely packed this morning. We were there really early which is good because we saved seats for some friends. One of my friends from MOPS brought her 5 year old and her 2 year old. The 2 year olds are always a challenge because they want to get down all of the time. The Knight did OK, but he was way squirmier than usual. All in all, it was a good way to spend a rainy morning.

We got a bit of relief from the rain this weekend. Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday were SUNNY! I am glad that we got out of the house a lot this weekend.

It is supposed to rain here on the 4th too. Our neighborhood has a 4th of July Parade every year that is pretty cute. The parade consists of anyone and everyone who wants to be in the parade! The kids decorate their bikes, the parents decorate their kids, and everyone follows a big fire truck down to the neighborhood park where the fire men/women turn their hose on everyone, and everyone gets SOAKED! We did this a couple of years ago when the Prince was a baby and he was NOT amused! The parade is at 10:00AM this year. In the past, the parade has started at 8:00. 10:00 we can do; 8:00 is pushing it.

So, if we get a break from the rain tomorrow, we will be in a parade. If not, we will hang out at home. DadOf3 may work tomorrow. He gets the day off but will work it if the weather is cruddy and we will use the holiday as a floating holiday later.
