Introducing The Scoobys


Since the kids were small they've loved to watch Scooby-Doo movies. If we allowed it they'd have a Scooby-Doo marathon - watching movies and episodes until there weren't any more left to watch. I'm not sure where they get it - neither Dave nor I were big Scooby-Doo fans in our days

I took the girls to Target yesterday to spend their Christmas and birthday gift cards and they chose, you guessed it, a Scooby-Doo movie. John was elated with their choice and they all immediately sat down to watch it. Then today they formed a basement band called The Scoobys. They made microphones, fashioned guitars out of plastic hockey sticks and bathrobe belts, and decorated wooden rulers with glitter glue for drumsticks. John and Sophie are the guitarists, but John really rocks with him homemade amplifier (made out of black construction paper and hooked to his guitar with red yarn). Sophie is the lead singer and knows every word to the four Scooby-Doo songs they sang while Lucy had two roles: drummer and keyboardist.

The three members of The Scoobys believe in playing as you are - so they were in their pajamas with uncombed hair (and I'm sure, unbrushed teeth) for the entire day. Dave and I were treated to a concert performance intermingled with Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island footage.

It was all pretty wonderful - and I hate to admit it, but I even somewhat enjoyed the movie.
