P52 Week 29 - Movie Party

Over the past few weeks we've been watching the Star Wars saga in order from 1-6... We caught the first one on TV during the 4th of July weekend, and Jordan was hooked, so we decided to splurge and buy the set so we could watch all of them together.

We finished up this week with V and VI. I was reminded how much of a nerd I really am too, because I love these movies. And yes, I enjoy the prequels too, don't hate.

I love watching movies as a family. It's so fun to find things we are all interested in, and look forward to doing together. I think next we're going to get caught up on Harry Potter. Charlie and I haven't seen the last one, and Jordan might just be old enough now to be interested. We'll have to start with the first one and go through... I wonder how long that will take? I'll also have to find someone I can borrow those from, I'm not sure I'm willing to spend the dough for all that just yet. :)

P52 Week 28 - Summer Treats

Living in Florida, you may think my favorite season is Summer, with all the sunshine and beach access, but no, it is not. Summer is my least favorite season, with it's humidity, constant rain, and sweltering heat... Fall, fall is my favorite season.

But with the theme this week being Summer Treats, I started to think about the things I do like about summer, and I realized I don't really hate summer, I just don't like it as much as the rest of the year. But there is plenty of treats for us in the summer too. 

Like this week, on a not so hot you might feel like you are melting day, I went to a frozen yogurt place on  one of my breaks at work and sat outside, at my yogurt, and read my book. And I'll have to say, it was nice. It was hot, yes, and while I didn't melt, my yogurt was going fast, but it reminded me I really do like being outside in the sunshine.  Maybe I just need to embrace it more and enjoy the months of shorts and tank tops before I start wishing for the two or three days each year when I need to break out a jacket. (But the flip-flops are here to stay all year long. I mean, it is Florida)

P52 Week 27 - Ka-Boom

I learned something this week. Taking pictures of fireworks is not easy!! But alas, I still tried. I got a few good ones, and one great shot. I hope everyone had as fun of a 4th of July as I did :)
