On New Year's Eve we loaded up the kiddos and went to the local dollar movie theatre. I was thrilled just to have made it through the ENTIRE movie. Neither TY or I had to leave half way through spending the next hour in the foyer desperately trying to entertain one of the kids with whatever I could find in my purse or pockets. No, we must be growing up, we made the entire movie! LittleC fell asleep on my shoulder (cute!). However, that aside....I was SO inspired by this movie.
Secretariat! In a small way it helped me jump into a new adventure of my own. I had ideas recently popping into my head I was excited about and the triumphant spirit of this movie made it seem like I could do anything.
I love this movie! So....in case you haven't seen it yet, it went on sale today! Hurry, go get it!
Oh......and watch for my big announcement TOMORROW!
(boy, I hope you'll be able to sleep tonight ;)
Grandpa Jim came up to MissC's class to sing French songs with the kids. It was amazing! I haven't been in the French class because quite frankly I'm not really wanted. Apparently too many parents can't keep their mouths shut in the class where only French is supposed to be spoken. Now we're not allowed. She doesn't speak much French around us, just a little in response to Grandpa's questions. However, in the right environment...wow! This was in the English class, but as soon as he sat down and said, "Bonjour!" the entire class started talking to him in French. He asked them questions, they responded. They offered up compliments or random information as children do....all in French. Then he taught them a few songs...."Le Coq Est Mort" (The Rooster's Dead) was among them. It was adorable. The kids were so cute and I was so thrilled that my dad was willing to come. I'm grateful for his talent in languages and the way he interacts with the kids. I was on a high the entire day.
