Snafu of the Week

Zombies! Ok, ok, so most of us tuned in for the Walking Dead premier last night.  Which was awesome, but I wish they did a 2 hour premier.  So, I feel like a bad parent.  No, they didn't stay up late to watch it last night, but yes, my kids have seen the show before!  Eek. Gasp.  Get it out of your system now. 

My husband and I just started watching the show, we have been wanting to for a long time now.  We watched both seasons off of Netflix last week.  (I love you Netflix.)  The kids were busy in the play room, so we didn't wait until they were in bed, we started it up.  Man, it was good, too good.  I couldn't turn them off!  So eventually my little ones started trickling in.  Remember, I have an 8 year old and a 6 year old.  My little, little ones stayed in the playroom.  My husband and I looked at each other blankly....do we change it...do we let them watch??  Our thought process....they have seen Twilight and Underworld....they should be good right?

Right!!  Ha, you thought I was going to say wrong didn't you.  I was happy after the night was over that they did not have nightmares.  The show is pretty gruesome.  The romantic scenes are short and sweet (we fast forwarded through them.)  The gore is enough for them to handle.  I'm not too proud of that, but whatever, maybe I am.  The show is rated PG 13, and I believe some of these Pixar movies should have been rated that at some point.  So yes, I don't feel bad.  They enjoy zombies.  It's suspenseful.  It's entertaining.  And if the zombie apocalypse really happened, my kids might have a leg up on how to survive.
