Joy at game and movie night 11-21-08

Our first Friday game & movie night was a wonderful success. We gathered around 8:00p.m. and the adults watched Martin Child and the kids watched Mickey Mouse. There was an abundance of popcorn and movie related paraphernalia.
In the adult viewing section we used Dazza's huge t.v. with a dvd/vcr set-up lovingly loaned to us by Eric. The room was set-up with two beds, tons of pillows and a mountain of blankets. Zimmy, the house bear, and Bunny were also in the adult section.
As the movie ended we were invaded by the little ones who yelled protests about bed-time and pleas to join in the fun. We surrendered and found to our delight ourselves being read to about Tree House tales and then a magical musical about the turkey tango unfolding before our eyes. This caused us all to laugh until it hurt. One of the actors started to get a bit too boisterous so mom quickly diverted the show to the bathroom for teeth brushing and night time potty duties. After a misunderstanding and a quick meltdown, we settled on one game of UNO and an end to our amazing movie night.
Jude, Dazza, and Lea played while Judith watched in support. After many oscillating rounds of play and after Dazza attempted to win by acquiring all of the cards, Jude reigned supreme by bolding calling UNO and winning the game by laying down a red 7 onto the standing green 7. How wonderful!!
Thank you to all who are part of bring form to the Awake Collective.
