And a big fat thank you to the director of Spiderwick Chronicles. Tonight we watched it with Ty. He saw it in the movies and had to leave after 30 minutes because he was scared but tonight he wanted to rent it. He promised he wouldn't be scared watching it at home with mommy. So we watched it. Kaycie's mermaid movie ended early and she caught the last 20 minutes of the movie...the scariest part. Anyhoo, after the movie both kids were scared and didn't want to go to bed. I tried explaining that the movie was pretend but could tell they didn't get it. So a lightbulb went off over my head. The DVD's these days have "Making of" special features on them. So I explained to Ty that we were going to watch how the movie is pretend. I go to the special features menu and see "Spiderwick Chronicles: Are True". Thinking it was a sarcastic reference to the "making of", I clicked on it. On comes the director...perfect, he'll explain it. He says "Hi I'm [so&so], the director of The Spiderwick Chronicles. This movie is true. All the goblins and creatures you've seen are real. Everyone working on this movie has seen them...." and on and on he goes. The words might not be exact but that's the jist of what he said. I couldn't believe it. Ty said "See mom! It is true." Thanks director [so & so].

Oh sheesh! So did it have the "making of" on the DVD? I haven't seen that movie is it worth it? It's good to know that we shouldn't let Madi watch it. Just from watching Wow Wow Wubzie she tells us about a guy with red eyes. Just about every night she asks if the robots are coming or the dinosaurs or the monsters. Kids have such vivid imaginations.
Hey you better keep in touch when I move clear across the country. It's been fun to get to know you a little. Take care!
Nope. It didn't have the making of stuff. Good luck in Iowa! Do you guys get all the free blue bunny ice cream you want?
Oh brother! Thanks indeed!!!
