Is Like...

Last night after the park, we decided to watch a traditional Friday night movie. We went to Wal-Mart and stocked up on goodies and then came home. Both the children were bathed and readied for bed. Family prayers were said and up to bed they went. After about a half an hour, Mr. Stannix asked me to plug in the movie while he made some popcorn. I asked if he really needed popcorn and he replied, "Watching a movie without popcorn is like...."

So, off he went to make some popcorn. I warned him that the smell would probably waft up into Camilla's room and she would be down here in no time! One batch was popped on our turn crank stove popper. I melted butter for mine. Mr. Stannix asked, "Are you sure you don't want seasoning? Eating popcorn without seasoning is like....."

As Mr. Stannix finished up the second batch we heard, "Daddy? What-ya doin' down there? Daddy?" through the vent in the kitchen. I said, "Watching a movie without Camilla is like...." (It's been a while actually) Within a few minutes our little girl was snuggled up to her Daddy on the couch eating fist fulls of popcorn. Mr. Stannix has heard stories from when I was little and used to sneak out to the couch in the wee hours on the night to share chips with my dad and catch some of his movie. Dad would send me back to bed and tell me not to tell Mum. After about ten minutes, Mr. Stannix whispered to me that he wanted some "P-O-P", so we decided it was time for her to go back up to bed. She grabbed a fist full of popcorn for the road. Up we went to bed. I came back down to Mr. Stannix holding two tall glasses of pop. He then told me, "Eating popcorn without pop is like...."

After the kiddo was tucked into bed, I got to snuggle up with my Mr. Stannix and watch the chick flick. I like watching those every once in a while, it always reminds me of how lucky I am to have Mr. Stannix. We are always more in love after watching these kinds of movies together. It was a lot of fun to snuggle just the two of us. He put his arm safely around my shoulders and pulled me in close. At the end of the movie, we got up to go to bed and Mr. Stannix found my melted chocolate bar on the couch. He sat on it the whole movie! I told him, "Watching a movie without Mr. Stannix is like...." After we flossed the popcorn kernels from between our teeth and brushed them, up we went to bed for the night.
