It's getting harder and harder to come up with unique treat ideas for movie nights, so I was thrilled to walk into our local Jewel and see these cakey dessert cups right in the front of the store. Squirt in some whip cream and top it with a heart shaped strawberry and you've got an instant treat. Poor Jack was so confused about how he was supposed to eat his. I gave him the go ahead to dig in with his hands and he was a much happier camper. And, yes, Goldfish seem to follow the kids around wherever they go, regardless of whether or not they just ate dinner!
The movie was pretty good. I thought "the shadow" was pretty freaky, but the kids weren't really phased by it. Maybe I should stop assuming they'll be scaredy cats like I was as a kid. Who'm I kidding? I still won't watch scary movies! (shiver)
Speaking of scary movies, I'm so dying to see the last season of Supernatural that I'm considering a temporary move to Australia so I could buy this DVD and watch it there. I had no idea there were different Regions for DVD players?? All I know is that it's totally unfair that people down under can watch it and I can't until September 1st. Waaaah!
There's not much at all on DVD right now. We got Knowing and Push in the mail from Blockbuster the day this past Tuesday and we're holding Push for the weekend because we won't have anything else to watch. Knowing was pretty good. Questionable ending, but better than I expected overall. I'm dying to see the new Johnny Depp movie - has anyone seen it yet? I've heard pretty good things so far.
I can't believe it's 4:15 already - where on earth does the day go? I'm going to try to finish Katie's nightgown tonight so they can wear them and then I have to be downtown bright and early tomorrow. I'm normally put out by having to get up early and endure a long day of commuting, but there just so happens to be a Joann's right by the train station. How convenient! ;) I heard that the Joann's in Bolingbrook is closing - anyone know if there are good deals to be found there?
