I spent the day playing Remember When
Courtney called me last night asking for help as she was in charge of a trivia game for her Young Mother's Group Disney Night and I was the biggest Disney Freak she knew. Hee hee! So I went over today with my Disney Scene It Games (all three of them, plus my Pirates one) and we ended up playing the game while her son, Benn, took a nap.
Watching clips of the films we grew up brought back so many awesome memories. We grew up kitty corner to each other. From age 6 on we were pretty much inseperable until Junior High. She was a year older, and so it only makes sense that that preteen jump tore us a bit a part. But we've always been there for each other when we needed. We quarrelled like sisters A LOT but I don't know where I would have been without her.
We remembered several movie adventures together. Most memorable was a Christmas event we did, when we went and saw Santa and won tickets to a holiday showing of the Lion King, I went with her family and we got to sit away from the grown ups. We felt so mature. But right in the middle of "Just Can't Wait To Be King" her younger brother David got up in front of the screen and began dancing to the music. He was maybe 4 at the oldest but I remember Courtney trying to die in her seat.
We had a great laugh and a great chat. I have missed chatting with her on a regular basis. It happens when friends move away or get married and start a family and all that. We find it a total God thing that we are, once again, pretty much Kitty Corner to each other. We're still inseperable in a way! ha ha!
Anyway Benn woke up as we were getting to the end of playing the game, and he added to the fun. I love that little boy he's so funny! He was really good at identifying the different characters (better than mommy, and he beat me to one of the characters! he's 2!!!), anyway a clip from Curse of the Black Pearl came on - the scene where Will and Liz are below deck and she asks Will what sort of man trades a man's life for a ship and then she reveals that she has Will's father's Pirate medallion - and I was glued to the clip (duh it's pirates) as it's one of my favorite moments (ok let's face it Will and Liz scenes no matter what they are make my heart flutter) and I looked at Courtney and said "he's so pretty." Which we laughed at.
Well apparently Benn made a connection and when the next scene from Pirates that featured Will came up he pointed to the screen and said "ooo Pretty!" so we spent the rest of the time hoping for Pirates clips to come up (which they did, Thank You God!) and we taught him "Captain Turner" "Pirates" and "Krakken"... ok so *I* taught him that and Courtney laughed at me! LOL
I have to take my Daisy Duck costume over to her tomorrow (couldn't find it until after I got over there and Judy called and I asked where she'd hidden it lol). We're hoping that if Dave has to work on Saturday that I'll go over and we'll play Friends Scene It! lol
*sigh* it's almost 11pm so I best be getting to bed! 9 days (10 sleeps!) till I get on a plane! w00t!!!
