As you wish
This week is the kids' February break. I welcomed it with mixed feelings. On the one hand, I always love the opportunity to spend more time with my littles (though not so little anymore), especially with a more relaxed, no-homework stretch of time.
On the other hand, we've had roughly 763 snow days in January and gone through our down-time wishlist several times. Also. My school doesn't have February break so there's that delicate dance of being sufficiently available to both worlds, which really amounts to doing minimal school things (emailing with students, meeting with a few) for a week. When the two roles duel at sunset, the mom role always wins and I'm fine with that.
Last night we headed to our local theater, which was hosting a nostagia movie night with The Princess Bride on the big screen. It was awesome, complete with a cheesy trivia contest and audience participation in joining in on lines (including as you wish, my name is Inigo Montoya, & inconceivable, of course). What a blast we had. Sam and Maddy got into the spirit of things by wearing home-crafted Inigo Montoya nametags. Watch out Rocky Horror Picture Show, there's a new(er) show in town.

Ha! Those name tags are HILARIOUS! And oh so clever.
I forgot about the Boston February vacation. Such a lame time of year to be out of school! I am so glad we don't do that here. We'd be bored out of our minds. And no awesome princess bride on the big screen either.
They did that movie at institute once back at good ol' USU. Everyone quoted the whole movie. It was super fun. My daughters love saying the you killed my father line. Me, I'm partial to "Never go up against a Cecilian when DEATH is on the line! HA HA HA HA......."
LOVE this movie... we had our own private screening just last night!
Good time.
Have fun storming the castle!
i totally get it. probably because i'm a white girl of the 80's/90's.
don't even get me started on the holy grail...
