Beware of the skunk

My daughter was playing with her brother today. Mostly nicely, but at moments, not so much. I heard a couple of exchanges, then Jenna came stopping out of her room and told me "this is my pet skunk. I trained him to only spray strangers. I am going to teach him Chris is now a stranger!" You can imagine her expression and true disgust in the moment. For me, pure JOY. I had to actually work very hard at not bursting into combustible laughter. Apparently, (one of Christopher's favorite sayings!) Jenna was annoyed at him because he said he didn't want to play, he just wanted to stare at the wall and check out the paint color. Tell me, do you think he did that simply to annoy his little sister....if I were a bettin' woman.....

We had also enjoyed some family time at the movies today. We went to UP in 3D at the Carmike. Now, here's my review.....Movie, b-c....cute, but could have waited for it on video. The 3D effect, which by the way, they charge EXTRA for per person. Totally not worth it. Not for this movie. At times, it was simply dizzying...and I only can think of 3 or so spots where the 3D was actually 3D....so, if you are going to see it, save your money on the 3D, see it regular, or wait for it to hit Redbox....ALSO, if you haven't used Redbox before....it is AWESOME! I have never had an issue...and 1.00 for a movie a day? You can't beat that ....I LOVE a good deal!

The kids are hoping to see Ice Age 3 very soon, but we need to wait for Katie to be home from Camp...she wants to see it to. I don't think I'll upgrade to 3D on that one either. FYI, in a 3D movie, if the glasses start to get to you, you CAN NOT take them off easily or the movie just appears blurry!

So, that is our day in a nutshell. We are going to head out and let the kids ride bike a bit. Then, home to work on the sump pump...in all the driving rain last night, it FAILED....I heard my hubby use some "words"....that, well let's just say we wouldn't use in church. =-) Anyhow, yet another project to add to the honey do list. (HIS, NOT MINE!!!!)

Have a blessed night!
