It's Chick Flick Time!

I'm trying to take advantage of Vince being out of town by watching some fave *chick flicks* (otherwise known as "movies Vince really isn't into) while he's not here. Do you do this, too, when your husband is out of town?

Last night I watched *Sense and Sensibility* while giving myself a pedicure. So nice! I hadn't watched it in a long time and it's such a great movie. I always love Emma Thompson~she's so talented! One of my favorite lines is: "If you cannot think of anything appropriate to say, you will simply restrict your remarks to the weather!" Classic!!

Tonight it's going to be one of these three:



It'll depend on my mood:)

What are some of your fave chick flicks? I'm always looking for a good new-to-me movie, so leave me a comment!

Hi Lora! Well, those are two of my favorites - and there's a foreign film I like called "Babette's Feast" but it's really rather not a 'chick flick' but visually artistic nonetheless -

the new P&P I have had to watch over 30 times I think -
thanks for stopping by the farm!!

Julie and Julia

You know, I have always heard great things about Babette's Feast, but have never seen it. I need to see if it's on Netfix...because I know none of the video stores around here will have it. We live in redneck country:))

We definitely have very similar tastes in movies! I've seen all those you listed except No Reservations.
And my hubby will usually watch them with me, too...ONCE:)) Then after that I'm on my own. LOL

Great pics, Lora! Sense & Sensibility and Pride & Prejudice are two of my faves. I also love Emma (that was the first Jane Austen flick I saw).

I also love Chocolat (with Johnny Depp) and musicals like Guys & Dolls, Singing in the Rain, etc.

Hubby will usually watch them with me, but he doesn't care for what he calls "forgeign" films...if anyone speaks with any sort of accent. He complains that he can't understand them. So he usually falls asleep half way through, and then I'm on my own after that, too! :)

The Reading Game: A Review

I was excited to receive this review product recently, thinking my 1st-grade-son could really benefit and enjoy it a lot. And I was right! He is having so much fun with this game. The Reading Game is a fast-paced memory card game using words. The game comes with 6 sets of memory cards with 6 corresponding readers. The idea is for you and your student to play memory with each set of cards (playing 6 rounds with each set), after every 2 rounds your student then reads 2 test sentences to see how he is retaining the new words he is learning. After the whole set has been played, he is then ready to read the corresponding reader...and has learned 30 new words! By the time your student has played every set of cards and read every reader, he will have learned 180 words. Of the 25 most common English words, 23 are on that list; of the 50 most common words, 42 are on that list. So this little game of reading really does prepare your student well. The readers are illustrated with cute

The Making of an Egyptian Death Mask

We are learning all about the ancient world this year with Story of the World I and loving it! We've been learning a lot about Egypt, of course, which is completely fascinating. Most recently we have studied the New Kingdom of Egypt, which includes the story of King Tut. So we decided making an Egyptian death mask in the style of King Tut's would be a fun project. First since it was too cold at the time to paper mache in the garage (it probably would have frozen instead of dried-ha) and it was too messy to do it in the house, we decided to pick up a couple of cheap craft masks at Hobby Lobby. Next we cut out cardboard shapes to complete the shape of the death mask, attaching them with hot glue. Vince even put a little detail on the *beard* with the hot glue per The Princess' request. Then the kiddos started to paint them with this metallic gold tempera paint. It worked okay for the cardboard, but would not coat the plastic of the mask. We thought maybe a second coat

Door Hanger Chore Charts

My kids have had a chore chart for a while.  It's one of those magnetic boards and they share it.  However, it's not by their rooms and often they (and I) forget to update it.  Plus it's a little bulky.   When I saw the concept of a door hanger chore chart on Pinterest, I loved it!  It was compact, right there were the kiddos could see it coming out and going into their rooms, and it costs almost nothing to make.   I headed over to one of my favorite stores: Hobby Lobby, of course.  They  have these little wooden door hangers for .79.  I also grabbed a couple of packets of decorative buttons for $1.99 each.  I already had the clothes pins and the paint so those cost me nothing.   I began by painting the door hangers (I used tempera paints because that's what I had).  Then I grabbed a fine point Sharpie and the clothes pins and started writing chores on them, making sure to write them correctly so they will clip on the right direction.   The left
