February Highlights

February was a very mixed month for me. But, you know, five inches of snow helped. 

I sliced my hand open with a box cutter. I was being dumb and cutting a box towards me, and it sliced it open. Needless to say, it is still healing three weeks later. 

My siblings and I had a workday and did a lot of work around our land. We pulled down an old pool deck and milking stand that was falling down raked a lot of leaves. It was fun to work together and get so much done in one morning. 

I baked brownies virtually with my friend Kate. I'm not a huge fan of brownies, but it was great to learn how to make them from scratch and do it with my friend. Baking virtually is one of my favorites.

I edited four of my pieces of flash fiction. In the last two years, I have had a lot of fun playing around with short stories and flash fiction. Would y'all be interested in reading some of it? I just write it for fun. Mostly to give me a creative outlet without too much commitment. XD 

So I was at work and it started sleeting. My boss is awesome and didn't want me to get stuck, so she sent me home early. I had to stop to scrape off my windows, then after that, I was stuck at home for nine days. There was a layer of ice everywhere, then we got five inches of snow. We live in the country, so our road was covered. I honestly did not have much fun at first because we were frantically prepping all the animals and plants we own for the hard freezes. We also had to boil all our water. But, we had a lot of fun family time with movies, and later in the week, I used my free time to sew, and then clean out my computer. It ended up being a good time. I ate a lot of snow ice cream, took long walks in the snow, and took a lot of bird photos. 

On the Saturday after we got stuck at home, the ice had finally melted, and we went out for lunch and did some shopping for fun. =) I had so much fun just getting out again. 

My sister and I did a ton of babysitting. We watched four boys one day and spent a lot of time tossing around a boomerang around with them. Another day we watched fifteen kids, and they were a delightful bunch. When you get fifteen homeschooled Christain kids together, their idea of wild was to play music louder than their mom liked. XD

My young adult's group had a movie night. We watched Tangled, which was fun. I love that movie, but me and my two sisters were the only girls there. Other then us, there were five guys. XD I think everyone enjoyed it. 

It was a pretty good book month! Ember Rising was my favorite re-read (though MBS #2 was close), and Seeing Voices was my favorite new book!

How to Train Your Dragon 3 

I watched this with some of the kids I babysat, so I missed movie 2. I have to admit, I was very unimpressed with this. There was a large amount of crude humor, and most of the side characters had weird romances. Also, I wasn't really a fan of the ending. 

The Chosen 

This was my second time watching this show. This first two episodes are pretty heavy, but I love the show so much. I have never seen a show based on Jesus that is so good without feeling like they are trying to add to what the Bible says. 

So You Said Yes

A cheesy hallmark my sisters and I watched. It was kind of cute but packed way too much in. =P

Bionic Woman 

I've been watching this show for the last couple of years. The main character is delightful, and I like the mysteries. The last season had a lot of episodes I skipped due to boredom or disinterest. 

Sound of Music

I watched this when it came out, and fell in love with it. The actors are amazing, and I love the songs in this version. 

Botton of doom 

I love Megamind, so this short makes me very happy. 

Beauty and the Beast the play 

If you have never seen the play of this, you should. It is SO incredible. The songs are amazing. If you want to watch it for free, here's a link to one a group posted on YouTube. 

Mission Impossible

My siblings and I watch MI to unwind a lot. We are currently bouncing between seasons 4 and 5 since we've watched them all already.
