Congratulations to CanCan (Mom Most Traveled)

Today is the first day of the Bloggy Giveaways Quarterly Carnival! Everyone who’s anyone is playing along and offering goodies. If you’re not there, you should be!

I will be offering something every day this week. And not crappy stuff, either. Stuff you’d want. Stuff you could actually give as gifts. Even today.

Today I give you the gift of family time in the form of two DVDs: Hoot and Little Women.

Hoot: (Description from Amazon.com) Based on the
best-selling book, Hoot is a classic story that is fun for all ages.
When a boy and his classmates realize that a population of endangered,
burrowing owls is threatened by new construction, the kids decide to
take on crooked politicians and bumbling cops in the hope of saving
their new friends.

Little Women: (Description from Amazon.com)A stirring look at life in New England during the Civil
War, Little Women is a triumph for all involved. We follow one
family as they split into the world, ending up with the most
independent, the outspoken Jo (Winona Ryder). This time around, the
dramatics and conclusions fall into place a little too well, instead of
finding life’s little accidents along the way. Everyone now looks a bit
too cute and oh, so nice. As the matron, Marmee, Susan Sarandon kicks
the film into a modern tone, creating a movie alive with a great
feminine sprit. Kirsten Dunst has
another showy role. The young ensemble cast cannot be faulted, with
Ryder beginning the movie in a role akin to light comedy and
crescendoing to a triumphant end worthy of an Oscar. –Doug Thomas

Are you interested in winning? Leave me a comment telling me what your family does for family night. That’s it. Easy peasy. You won’t win if you don’t follow that rule. Comments like "I wanna win" or "Pick me" won’t be chosen.

Also, don’t enter more than once because duplicate entries will mean that you don’t get any

hello? How can I contact you if you’re anonymous? Just sayin’.
   

Finally, the rest of the rules:

  • This giveaway is open to US residents only because I’m nothing if not cheap.

On family night we have tea parties, the girls and I and watch a Disney movie usually. Some nights we have a bonfire in the yard and have s’mores and hot chocolate with the men.

when we were still in Japan, family night is every night that starts at 7 p.m., dinner in front of the TV, watching a new release.
since we relocated here in alabama, family nights are reduced to tuesday nights, on hubby’s day-off. always for watching new releases :)
hubby and I are movie freaks. we own more than 1000 DVDs (really) but we don’t have a copy of ‘Hoot’ or ‘Little Women’. I want to win this …

Now that it is chillier, our family nights have become cuddle nights in the living room. We have no computers, tv’s, phones in this room. Just the comfy furniture and a wood stove. We curl up and read books and eat popcorn.

We don’t have family nights yet – we have a 17 mo old and I don’t think she would get the concept but she’ll be older before we know it and we’ll have to think of something.

14 Tori October 30, 2008 at 12:20 pm

For Family Night, which usually happens on Mondays, we love to go on walks, stop off at the store on the way back for a treat, and then come home, put the baby to bed, and watch a movie. This last week we walked to the store, bought pumpkin carving knives, and then carved our pumpkins.

Our favorite Family Night thing to do is spend time at home listening to Dad play his variety of guitars (from steel – acoustic.) Just picture Pa Ingall’s family(Little House)as he plays the violin. Then you’ll see our family.
Thank you,
Michelle

32 Molly October 30, 2008 at 8:49 pm

We play a lot of games and watch videos for our family nights. The other night we made our own miniature golf game in the house…what a riot! Each family member had a room and had to make their little course/hole in that space with anything they wanted. We used tennis balls and a plastic hoe or broom (depending on your height) as the clubs. Our girls, 11,8, and 5, had a blast! And baby brother (10 months) had a blast playing with the tennis balls and laughing at his sisters!

33 Karen October 30, 2008 at 9:33 pm

49 karen c. October 31, 2008 at 3:55 pm

My son’s really little still, so sometimes family night consists of looking at one picture of Jesus while Mommy or Daddy tell a quick story.

50 Ann October 31, 2008 at 4:05 pm

I have to admit something, I just recently read Little Women. My daughter had a book report to do on it and I never read it as a little girl. I really enjoyed it. Would like to sit down with my daughter and watch the movie. Thank you for the chance.
Happy Halloween
