Watching "The Lord of the Rings" with kids, a whole new event!

Here we are on a lazy Saturday and my husband wanted to get out and watch "The Lord of the Rings". For the first time, our kids actually came up and have sat down to watch. This leads to a whole new event:

"Like that's gonna work Gimli" -- K after Gimli tries to destroy the ring.

"Mom, is that alive or dead?" -- E asking about the Nasgul.

"I wonder why Gandolf just didn't use those Eagles to take Frodo to Mordor, I just now thought about that" - S with a light bulb shining above his head.

"Run Frodo Run", "Use the ring Frodo" -- both screaming at the TV when the Nasgul are approaching Frodo with swords.

"Is he gonna die?" -- both kids, about every 5 minutes!

"Is he good or bad?" Both kids, about every 3 minutes!

"Oh no, this can't be good" -- E as the Balrog makes his appearance.

"How can he walk on top of snow?" E as Legolas walks on snow. "He's an elf" S responds. "Whatever" E replies.

"COOL!!!" -- E as the Balrog awakens.

"NOOOOOOO!!!" -- Balrog again.

"He has the deflector shield" -- S, sarcastically as Gandolf fights the Balrog.

"Is he gonna die?, yeah, he is gonna die. Is he gonna die?" -- E as the Balrag drags Gandolf into the chasm.

"Gandolf the Grey is dead, but he'll come back as Gandolf the white." S responds to E.

"Huh?" -- E in response to S's statement above.

"Where's the volcano?"-- E just wondering where the volcano is.

"Is that a good place or a bad place?" K as the fellowship walks into the Lothlorian.

That's just through Disc 1. Mystery Science Theatre, you've got competition.

Through all of this, E is walking around, still in his PJ's with a kids fishing pole pretending its a sword. "Lord help us!", no pun intended.

Alot of people ask about our garden railroad. He it is. It is actually quite a bit more mature than what you see here. This was July 4, 2006.
