Well, K is excited and actually counting the days to Christmas. We ended up seeing the 10 pm Avatar movie in 3D on Saturday night as the earlier shows were sold out. We normally wait until the crowds die down, but we decided to go ahead and brave the lines (after reading all the great reviews). It was a long movie and we left the theatre at 1 am. L was at a sleepover. M and K loved it. I appreciated all the work that went into making the movie and it is certainly memorable. It's non stop action and excitement, and will be sure to appeal to the guys. I felt a bit tense afterward. My sister in California and her family also saw it and they loved it.
So we bought our 10pm tickets and went home for a couple of hours before the show. Some friends called, they were making their Christmas deliveries, so we were able to see them that night. They brought a homemade cranberry nut loaf, some assorted homemade cookies and some nice chocolates. Between that and the buttered popcorn at the movies...and the kids decorating the gingerbread house...it's becoming difficult to track what's going into my mouth.
I took a walk to church yesterday, it was very icy just on some of the pathways, otherwise no new snow until perhaps later in the week. They sang 'happy birthday' for the priest who celebrates today. It was really crowded, even the upstairs seats were filled, it's that time of year.
The kids have appointments today to get their seasonal flu shots at the doctor.

I took a long brisk walk on Saturday. It felt great. We walk to Sunday Mass when the weather's nice,but Hubby doesn't like cold weather so we drove.
Hi Christine,
Can't imagine temperatures of–40 ! it's just about freezing here today and we've had a small blizzard -most unusual !
Congratulations to L on the nomination for the scholarship . What an honour. You must be very proud of her !
See Create Tuesday has had a change I enjoyed taking part but don't feel competent enough to continue. Will follow it though
How nice that you got to do something together with just one child. I loved when I was able to give one my undivided attention.
Kathy, it does feel great 'after' the walk!
Thanks, Barbara. -40 is very dangerous, you have to keep skin covered for fear of frostbite I heard. I had retired from Create Tuesday myself, but Mmm can be very persuasive. Well, jump in if you get tempted.
SoccerMom, that's a good point.
3 more days to go....gotta fill up my fridge with goodies!
My son went to see Avatar over the weekend, too, and loved it. He said he stood in line for tickets and they sold out fast. I have twin girls and they were always together (still are at 32) so I seldom got to do anything with one of them! Thanks for coming by. Have a great Christmas!
Glad to hear Avatar was good. And I am really feeling the same way about food this season. I don't think that I'm necessarily eating more, but it's certainly fancier, richer food than we normally have at home! Not sure how much more I can take. I might have to pull my bike out of storage and go for a long ride in a park somewhere... Or at least a good long walk!
