Childhood Favorites




So, one of the scariest movies from my childhood was, by far, Aliens. It's a scary movie regardless of how old you are, but I'm pretty sure my whole 9-year-old body physically shuddered while sitting in the movie theater seat right next to my Dad for the entire last half of the movie. What was a 9 year-old doing in a movie rated R? Well, we were bonding and even though it was memorable (for reasons that needed therapy later) I won't be taking any of my girls to see rated R movies, that's for sure!

I also was a thumb-sucker. A die-hard one. My mom used to say that at night she'd sneak into my room to try and remove said thumb. Not only could she hear the suction break, but it would pop back in there after about 5.2 seconds. Jeremy was a thumb-sucker, too. We have been surprised that none of our kids have been into it yet. Until...Avery made her thumb-sucking look like the scary alien seen above:


A girl after my own heart <3
