Movie night

The other night, the PTO at E's school hosted a movie night for families to come and watch a movie in the gym. The movie was "Wreck it Ralph". E was very excited to wear her new pj's to the event :)

She sat with one of her bff's, Casey. Luckily, Casey's Mom thought to bring a big blanket, because I didn't. The kids actually just watched a little of the movie, and spent more time going back and forth to the book fair that was going on, trying to talk us into buying all the trinkets (but not any books) they sold there. Don't even get me started on Scholastic...

It looks like a really sweet book, wish me luck!

I'm in love...

with my new Kindle...I saw I had some reward points on Amazon, so I decided to get a Kindle, finally!  I didn't get the Kindle Fire, decided I really didn't need that.  I got the old school cheaper one.  And...I love it!!  I love being able to get books instantly, love how light and convenient it is.  I take it down to the pool with me when E goes swimming, so easy!  I still love "real" books, and almost nothing makes me happier than browsing through a bookstore.  But for ease, and instant gratification (which I'm a big fan of), the Kindle is awesome.  Anyone else out there have a Kindle and love it?

Why I won't read or watch "The Help"

Today's blog post on www.racialicious.com says it perfectly.
