Keep Moving Forward

Friday nights have become "pajama night" at the Scott home. The tradition is complete with the following elements:
  1. Snacks purchased at Dollar Tree or Wal-Mart.
  2. Meal planned of quick and tasty (although not healthy) food.
  3. Movie rented or purchased from cheap movie bin at store.
  4. Sleeping bags and blankets in the living room.
  5. Everyone in pajamas or sweats.

Generally, the movie is picked out by one of the boys; and on an occasional adventurous night there is a double feature. This has become a well-loved tradition, especially by our youngest, Isaac. There are plenty of movies out there to view because there has been a cold spell of sorts as to our actually going to the movie theater. One movie that was out was the film Meet the Robinsons, and this was our choice for last night's viewing. Jonathan had actually seen it in school, which was neither here nor there other than the fact that I'm not sure why he saw it while in school. I digress.

The film was pleasant for all, and it ended with a quote from Walt Disney himself.

"Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things... and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths."

I think it speaks for itself, but in the next day or two I will attempt to unpack how it speaks to me.
