~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We lead a busy life around here. The kids homeschool 5-6 hours a day, the hubby goes to work FT 4 days a week and then comes home to work another 30-40 hours at his "work from home office" job.  With summer upon us, we now have one child old enough to get a job (Lord help me, I'm not old enough to have a child old enough for a job) and due to get her learner's permit in 52 days (No, seriously, no one in this house is counting the day. Really). There is volunteer work, church and a myriad of other things that I'm sure everyone reading this is totally familiar with.

Singing to the choir, I am.

Even though we are home together most of the time, family time though critical, is hard to come by.

To that end, we established two rituals:

Game Night and Family Move Nights.

Game Night is usually just the kids and I, becasue of John's schedule. we drag out old favorites like Monopoly or Trivial Pursuit. Last year we discovered a new game called Dread Pirate, and love it!
We play card games, and are currently looking for a Jenga game.

Family Movie Night falls twice a week, late, after John has finished working. The kids drag their stuff into our room, and we have a sleepover. It's great fun!

Living where we do, we only had one movie rental place.  Unfortunately,  one day it was just closed up and gone. I later heard they went bankrupt.

Fortunately, though, I had just won free membership to Netflix through a giveaway at Owlhaven! Waht a blessing it has become!

It's pretty simple. I went in and perused the listings of movies they offer (over 100,000 titles), added them to my "queue" with one click of the mouse and Voila! Movies were in my mailbox within  two day. There are no time limits, no late fees, and after we've watched them, they just go back in the prepaid envelope.

Once they get the movies back (normally the day after I mail them off), the next movies in our queue are pulled and shipped. We have not waited more than a couple of days for the next movies to arrive.

The best part is there ARE! NO! LATE! FEES!

Frankly, I don't see how the other movie rental place went bankrupt with the amount of late fees I paid to them.

So, now for the fun part.

Hi :)

I just subscribed to your RSS feeds by email with my email address listed here -

Three movies I would rent:
1. The entire second season the HBO series "Rome". OK that is not just one movie but that was such an incredible series! I *just* finished Season 1 (I bought it on a whim) and am itching to finish Season 2.

2. Chocolat - Johnny Depp and Juliette Binoche... in a romantic quirky comedy, what more can you ask for? :D I saw this movie when it came out and I loved it, I haven't since it since and would love to watch it again.

3. Juno - I keep hearing about how amazing this movie was, I have it on my "rent this at blockbuster" list and I still haven't gotten around to it!

What a great prize! Since we have no TV reception into our home, we subscribed to Netflix some time ago. It allows us to still enjoy entertainment in the form of movies, but with 100% complete control!

Not only do they have movies, but they also have so many of the old TV series... Cosby show, I Love Lucy, Hogan's Hero's, Leave it to Beaver, etc.

We enjoy getting these to watch when we don't have time for a full movie... and there is no timeline for returning them!!

Yep, you are givin a mighty fine prize here!!

Count me in. We used to do movie night every week, not we only do it occasionally, but I would love to do it every week again. I subscribed to your blog through yahoo.

What a fun contest! Do I get points if I already had you in my Google Reader? There's no way I could read blogs without it!
