Day 9

At this rate, when I am done with my 30 days of thanks it will be time to be thankful all over again. For Day 9, I am thankful for feel good kid movies. Sunday afternoon, J and I took Peyton to see the Muppet movie. I think I was the most excited in the bunch. I am not sure if Peyton even knows much about the Muppets, but he did like the movie. I loled...literally. I cried, happy tears during the singing of Rainbow Connection. Yes, I am a sap....however, I think it just reminded me of a simple time when you play pretend and could be whatever you wanted to be when you grew up. I miss that innocence I once had.

Growing up, I watched the Muppet show every afternoon. I don't remember a ton about the show and at the time didn't care who the celebrity host was (Who the heck was Bob Hope!) that day. I just remember the laughs and smiles the muppets gave me. And I told my mom the other day, when I think of the Muppet show, I also associate it with Guiding Light. Guiding Light was a soap opera that came on after the Muppets Show that my mother watched. I was supposed to go to my room to nap, but sometimes I got to watch with her.....what a combo the muppets and guiding light.

I am so happy the Muppets have made a come back. I'd love to see if the old shows are available on Netflix or something.
