Movie Day!

One great thing about home schooling (at least our version of it) is when you can just take a day and slow down.  Today we slowed down by going to the movies. The big guys went to see James Bond Quantum of Solace and Angie and the younger ones got a repeat of High School Musical 3.  

One interesting thing about seeing James Bond was that it was filmed in 5 or 6 different countries.  So then when they were in Bolivia and speaking Spanish, the subtitles were still in two languages and neither of them was English.  So Craig's reading skills were being taxed while Caleb was just missing stuff.  

It was pretty cool, though, with lots of explosions and stuff.  Maybe not so edifying but certainly entertaining on a "slow down" day.  It was kind of disappointing that he never says, "Bond ... James Bond" in the whole movie.

Tonight Angie and some neighbors hung out and baked chocolate chip cookies.  They commented we were obviously foreigners since we had both an oven and a microwave.  We didn't tell them our oven is convection...

He didn't say the famous line? Sounds like they are turning their back on their roots! I'm glad you got to slow down & get refreshed!

We took a "slow down" day today also! I loke that name for it. It sounds better than "dtching school." :)

I am a little jealous that you got to see the new Bond movie! Just kidding ~ jealousy is a sin and I shouldn't do that! :)

You guys are ahead of us. We haven't made it to see HSM 3 yet. The bit theater in Knoxville is playing Madagascar 3 on IMAX, which we really want to see. Did you like HSM 3?

I was just thinking, and you know how dangerous that can be, that Angie, Bethany and Hudson have seen HSM3 twice already and I still haven't seen it once!!!! Mollie keeps promising to take me!! Glad you all got some down time. Hope you get more when we see you again. Can hardly wait!!!
