Haha I still know all the words from Little Mermaid, having watched that over and over with the kids I used to babysit. <br /><br />I'm always amazed at how my brother-in-law knows just what we'll like. I imagine it's because he has similar taste, but still. Which reminds me . . . I couldn't find the CD's this morning. I'll have to ask my husband what he did with them.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-41181526139667392862016-01-11T05:43:43.833-08:002016-01-11T05:43:43.833-08:00I'll bet you're wishing Mouse had never de...I'll bet you're wishing Mouse had never decided to like movies about now! Two of my big kids and I watched Beauty and the Beast last night and my daughter and I can still sing almost all of the songs word for word thanks to the days of watching the movie again and again and again....<br /><br />What a great idea those CD's are!

If I remember right, I used to watch Barney movies nonstop as a kid (with the occasional Madeline film between) so I suppose there are worse movies for children to be obsessed with- I've heard Inside Out is actually pretty good. I would vote on your thriller choices, but that is the one genre I have abominable taste in, so I'll spare you my opinion. The only thriller I had luck with was The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, so...<br />Love the dragon float!<br />~Litha NelleLitha Nellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06350209887646891024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-31890021111809147272016-01-03T17:14:29.370-08:002016-01-03T17:14:29.370-08:00Grace - What She Knew seems to be quite popular!

We had a quiet New Year's weekend, just barely made it for the countdown! Did not watch the parade, but what a beautiful float! Cole at 18 months is not interested in TV, but when he I am sure there will be repeats. I am afraid I still know all the lines for many animated movies! I am looking forward to What She Knew.
