It's Saturday. I love Saturdays...It's the day we all get to do whatever we want and for Boyd, that means sleeping late. He gets up at 4:45 am every day so Saturdays are a treat for him. Today I am taking Chloe to the Mall of America to return a ring we bought there and we'll also be picking up $100 worth of hotdogs that we had a friend pick up from Michigan. We can't get them here! Josh is going to a friends house for a day of AIRSOFT wars. And what does Boyd get to do? He gets to do our taxes! Well, at least he'll have the whole house to himself since we'll all be gone. He's such a great guy. I'm so lucky. He works very hard and demands very little. I am blessed.

Today it's going to be sunny and in the 40's. I love the sun. Life seems more...sunny when the sun is shining.

Time for the Paavola4 Movie Review...

"The Bee Movie": A real yawner--at least for grown-ups. I guess if you like Seinfeld, you may like it, but Jerry Seinfeld's style of humor was never my cup of tea. I give it a "B-". Even though it's completely boring for grown-ups, the kids may still like it.

"Amazing Grace": VERY good movie that I highly recommend. It's a great historical count of one man's battle against slavery set in the 1700's in Europe. It seems like it would be boring, but it's not. I made Josh watch it for his history and he even liked it. I give it an "A" because it's a movie you can watch with your teenagers and not be embarrassed and everyone learns something about history as well. There's no sensuality to be found and if there was swearing, I can't remember hearing it. Great movie.

Time to get back to my coffee. Have a great day.
