Our Family was lucky enough to be invited to a special advanced screening of Judy Moody and the NOT so bummer summer on June 4th.  Having two girls in our house, Judy Moody books have been read here, so we were excited to watch the movie. 
It was a great experience for all of us.  Since we first arrived we were all treated to doughnuts, and all the kids received some pretty cool Judy Moody swag!

The movie was just as I pictured, Judy was a character just like my 8 year old daughter, the moodiness 😉 the bright colored wardrobe, the outrageous ideas!  So it was a treat watching the movie as I pictured my daughter through it all. 

Being that we are moving this summer from our “home” in California to my husband’s “home” of New York, the kids had been complaining about it since they first got word.  Calling it “the worst summer ever”.  Having watched the movie together, and during the week of having broken the news to the kids, it was a big help!  The ideas the kids and I got for our last summer in California and the laughs were during a much needed time.

I am not going to give the movie away, but Judy makes a chart, where her and all of her friends race to get the most points from the awesome things she has planned; we took that idea and are working on our “NOT so bummer summer” charts for our trip.

So if you haven’t watched the movie yet, I suggest you do, it’s not just for girls; a bigfoot hunt is perfect for the boys 😉  Have you ever made a summer chart?  Will you?  After we finish ours, which of course will be after we fully plan our drive across the Country; I will post pictures so you can see it 😉

Hope you have a NOT so bummer Summer!!!

Hi!
Welcome to our little world!
My name is Lily, I am a Mommy to 6 kids; and wife to a US Navy Sailor of 15 years. We are a typical Family trying to live the American dream, and though my son’s Autism and my Husband’s PTSD and TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) sometimes try to dampen our mood; we try our hardest to push through it and keep on movin’!

I absolutely LOVE blogging, sharing our life, and our adventures; whether good or not so good.

Our Family went through what WE hope is the worst week ever a year and a half ago, and tragedies continued to hit our Family for a while.
In 4 days, our car was totaled, our house broken into, and our house caught on fire. We are literally having to start over from scratch.
