Epic

This morning, I woke up to a super-excited male voice yelling “There is enough for both of us, Legolas!!!” because my son was listening to the “Two Towers” audiobook bright and early. Rob Inglis  does a great job narrating (and omg, singing all the ballads and stuff) but the whole blasting audiobooks all day long (and all night long if we would let him) is getting a bit out of control. 

Maybe that’s why I conveniently forgot to put “The Return of the King” on hold at the library… E. is going to be pretty annoyed when he finishes the “Two Towers”… and there will be nothing else to listen to, but the rest of us might enjoy the quiet. 

Yes, I may be a little passive-aggressive.

And yes, I did add it to our library hold list, in addition to the actual physical book, but it may be a few days before we get it. 

I also have all the Hobbit and LotR movies on hold. I hope to watch a little at a time most evenings during the spring break. I guess we will be having an EPIC week (or two)!

The 7-year old is probably not quite old enough for those movies. I would have been horrified if the older two watched that much violence when they were about her age. But of course she is the third kid – she gets to do everything earlier (including eating candies, watching PG13 movies, and using electronic devices). E has been reading The Hobbit to her, so she very much wants to be part of the experience. My mommy-sense tells me she’ll be fine and there is plan B just in case the movies are way more scary and bloody than I remember (old Russian cartoons).
