The wind is blowing hard tonight as this is typed, although the temperature hasn't made that extreme dip that has been foretold. The winter weather is on the way, or at least that's what prognosticators are prognosticating: a winter storm on Monday into Tuesday night. We'll see what comes, but we took precautionary actions this afternoon by moving our Monday plans today. And those plans were fairly complicated: we wanted to go see a movie. We had a free coupon to our favorite theater here in Cumming, and it expires Monday. But with the storm supposedly rolling in, we played it safe and went to see said movie today. What was that movie, you ask?
"Spongebob: Sponge Out of Water" was actually a surprisingly fun movie. Some of the later episodes of the Spongebob series had lost their direction a bit, but this movie was actually pretty enjoyable for all three of us. Madison was laughing out loud at a few parts, and Daddy was too, actually. It starts a little slow, but there are some gags midway that keep coming at you - the end result is a really fun movie that moves along quickly, and of course makes you happy to see Spongebob and company being fun again.
This is the sort of thing you do on Valentine's Day. Yeah, there are other movies out this weekend. But that's not the way we roll. No sir, when it's Valentine's Day, the movie you need to go see has to have Spongebob in it. That bit of advice there is free, by the way.
Yes, it was Valentine's Day. And the morning started out early enough, with a special scavenger hunt for Madison. She found Aladdin in her room when she awoke - the Disney Infinity version. He had a Valentine's Day that he wanted to deliver to Jasmine. Only... where was Jasmine? Madison followed clues throughout the house, meeting Cupid from Monster High first, and then Stitch, and even Venom along the way. And what better way to say 'Happy Valentine's Day' then with the gift of Venom? Anyway, Madison did find his way to Jasmine - and now she is a part of our collection as well. Also added to our temporary collection: ring pops and conversation hearts. Oh, conversation hearts! I forgot how good some of these taste. Madison and Daddy nearly ate an entire bag of these today! We brought them along to the movie theater as a snack, and just about brought back an empty bag!
We gave Mommy a craft that Madison made last week at Home Depot - and put into it three Crunchy bars. We also got her some Valentine's Day cards. But we weren't done with the craft-making yet: this morning, we also went to Lowe's to make a Valentine's Day craft there. It was a picture holder, and it was fairly simple to put together. We went to the office after that, Madison and Daddy, and there we made the pictures to put in the holder. It made for a nice little Valentine's Day gift!
Yeah, we spent more time at the office today. There was still some things to set up for tomorrow, which is looking like it will be a fantastic day. But we have to make it through tonight first: Madison is busy using some of the Valentine's Day activity books we gave her this morning, more 'stained glass window' crafts in there as well. And when she's not doing that, she's glued to one of those Weird School books. It is such a strange addiction. On one hand, you don't know what to think. On the other, she's reading and reading. Seriously, we're going over to the grandparents' house tomorrow, and all she'll need to do is bring a book and she'll be happy with it. She's like Belle!
The wind is sure howling out there - it's supposed to be pretty chilly tomorrow. We'll finish up some crafts here, and likely turn in early. It's been a fun Valentine's Day!
