If you’ve been watching here, you’ve noticed we’ve been doing a LOT of paper mache this year.
Frankly, this is a tedious, boring task for the large part.
One needs things to keep them focused, and in the mood, to finish building whatever.
I, personally, love movies in the background.
Who wouldn’t love working on props whilst singing along with “you’ll be a dentist!”

An added bonus to this is Talia (3 years old) has come to LOVE watching “the monsters scary” movie. AKA Little Shop of Horrors. Outside of Kyle (who got a huge crash course in horror…), this has been the first ‘horror’ movie I’ve introduced any NUMBER of kids to. Beware anyone who drops off their kids for me to watch, they may come home afraid of plants…
Other favorites include Shrek and Shrek 2.
Talia, in fact, got to see Shrek 2 for the first time last night, and was rather upset the dragon was not in it. Oh, how the time flies whilst watching one of these and building yet another Bob…

What’s especially odd is I tend to lean towards comedies and musicals whilst building.
Ive spoken before about Clash of the Titans as well. This one is great for when I’m just not ‘feeling’ the whole concept of the yard. It puts me right back in the mood.
Others I’m currently lacking, but would love to have include Beastmaster, Krull, Legend, and Dragonslayer. Oh, crappy movies of the 80s….
Hey. I just wanted to say that I stumbled upon your blog and it is AWESOME!
I've loved Halloween seen I've been a kid and only recently since I've been in college could I do anything about it (strict non-Halloween parents). I'm going to be trying my hand at making something for my apartment haunt; however, I'm not sure yet what, I'll definitely be keeping up with what y'all have going on, though!
She is 2 not 3 and quit trying to make her older than she is.
I'm already having trauma that our baby is growing up so fast, and wants to hug Bob every time she sees him.
And despite all that, I still Love you.
