Princess Movies

A bit of a true momma confession....this weekend we have been working, playing and resting. We played at the Maple Grove Days at the community center. We enjoyed lots of games, batting cages, pitching mound (for dad), watching bike and skateboard shows, business expo, listening to a ragtime band and eating lots of corn from the corn on the cob feed. It was a perfect playing kind of day.

We also got plenty of yard work done, cleaning and laundry!

As for resting (which Rob really needs to do lately after working 14 hour days last week in the heat) we have rented 6 movies and have been plugging away at them one at a time. We rent our movies at Redbox at our local McDonalds. Which brings us to the story....

While picking out a few movies for us to watch today I glanced over to see which 'new releases' are soon to be hitting our local Redbox soon. One was something about a Princess Protection Program which looked like another Princess Diaries with Anne Hathaway. Knowing my husband would not want to watch some movies about princesses that was suited for a 10 year old girl my immediate thought was, "Someday I will have my girl and on Friday nights when dad and Brandon are at the local Twins game I will be at home watching princess movies with my little girl while eating ice cream and cookies."

Don't get me wrong...I am TOTALLY IN LOVE with this funny little boy who makes new faces, attempts new words and has a different laugh every day. I LOVE every little bit of him....good days and bad days! I LOVE our mom/son relationship that we have that nothing can come between. I LOVE his boyhood and love for boy things. I will always LOVE those things.

I just have no problem fast forwarding my brain a few years (or many years) when my 10 year old daughter and I are watching princess movies while eating nummy food and polishing our nails. That is just something boys really can't understand...even if my husband did agree on watching Bride Wars with me!!! (Shhh...don't tell him I told you)
