Day 16 – Movies

After all of the hard work for the weekdays, I was in the mood for some cozy nights in. This weekend, I decided to have a movie night with my family. Instead of our living room, we will have the movie night in our backyard! We will put up a bed sheet in our backyard and play the movies on it. We will put cushions, pillows, and blankets on the grass for everyone. We will provide beef stew for everyone. My parents will go to the store and buy some snacks, desserts, and drinks. Everyone is looking forward to this movie night. I always love it when my family has movie nights, because it is great quality time to spend together.

Usually, my parents are really busy with work. Both my parents work, and I really appreciate all they do for me. I am also happy that both of them are able to do the work they want to. But sue to their busy schedule, I tend to entertain myself with video games or meeting friends down the street at the playground. My parents trust me so it’s fine.

For movie nights, we usually take turns when deciding what to watch. We all like different genres so it’s fair to switch up who picks. I am a fan of horror movies, so I like to pick the scariest one I can. My mom likes action movies but not ones with superheroes. Usually she picks movies about spies or war. My dad is a fan of documentaries. I learn a lot from these movies, and it is really good to refresh my mind.

I am so excited for this coming movie night. It is my turn to choose the movie and I think I picked a really scary one. I can’t wait to see my parents’ funny reactions. What movies do you like to watch?
