If you don’t need a fun movie, this one is for you. The story was a bit intriguing, the acting very convincing, but not exactly uplifting. Not an antidote for the post Christmas blahs, if you have them.

LOTR, Return of the King was better than expected. I can’t believe the trilogy was so good. I hope the DVD has more Palantir, an interogation of Saruman, and the restoration of the Shire.

My wife really outdid herself this year by making these cookies. Not only did they look memorable, but they were really tasty,

First a photo.

One of many presents my children received was a Little Tykes, Sand and Water table. This device is intended to hold sand and water as one might guess. Knowing sand and water weren’t going to be used until the the aforementioned table can be placed outside with the children.

I got the bright idea, from the kids ECFE classes that the table could be filled with other more easily vacuumed items. I chose rice.

After the gift givers left, I fell asleep after a marathon reading session. You can see the results. Ha.
