dragons

"How to Train Your Dragon" has been a hot topic around our house - especially when Bennett's favorite restaurant, "donald's" starting distributing model dragons with their meals. So, Andy and I asked Bennett if he wanted to go to the theater and watch the movie. Silly question.

We picked the earliest movie possible, and the adventure began. Bennett loved the comfy chairs, and popcorn, and candy. He did not love having to whisper, and actually stay in his seat. "We" lasted about 45 minutes - then had to bail. I think we would have made it through the entire movie if there would not have been 25 minutes of previews (which used to be my favorite part of the movie going experience).

When asked if he would like to go to another movie one day, Bennett replied, "Sure. When I'm five."

Master P

After a long, 2 year journey, I graduated with my master's degree last weekend. The past two years has been a life lesson in time management. I am so grateful for AP, and our parents, who often times helped w/ childcare, and the amazing friends who kept me sane during long weekends at class.

It was well worth it, but I am super excited to read for pleasure this summer, and not research!
