family movies.

In all of our decluttering, we happened to get rid of our VCR.  Sad for two reasons.

#1- It's 2011 and we actually still owned a VCR. 
#2- We had to get rid of a lot of our movies!

Within the stack of about 25 videos were some of my favorites.  Ever After, While Your Were Sleeping, The Sound of Music, and about ten others.  We listed them out on a piece of paper so we could have the list for future reference in $5 Wal-Mart movie picks. 

We also got rid of some movies, including DVD's that we knew didn't fit with our family values.  It was really hard to get rid of a couple of those "cockroach in the ice cream" movies.  But at this point I don't really remember exactly which movies those were and if I do, I don't really miss them that much!  It feels better knowing that I don't have that influence in my home.  I have been on the search for some good clean family flicks and I have watched several lately that I have added to our list of favorites.
