Two things to recommend

I watched a cool movie last night - Deception with Hugh Jackman. It was a thriller but it kept your attention and who doesn't like looking at Hugh, really?

The other thing to recommend is REDBOXes http://blog.redbox.com/. On Wednesdays you visit the site and they have a code for a free Redbox rental for that night. Good deal! I think it may only be through March so take advantage!

This weekend the girls and I went on a mini-vacation with Sha to beautiful Foxboro, MA. Why you might ask? We went to the travel show at Gillette stadium and then used Marriott points to stay at a hotel nearby. It was really a blast! The pool was awesome and we just goofed around and had a good time. The kids loved filling the ice buckets at the ice machine and going to the little mini-market for supremely over-priced treats. A great way to kick the winter blues!

The dilemma this week is whether to try to get Alexis out of Cherubs and into a Montessori type of setting in the Fall. Of course organized mothers have already made this decision and applied within the listed dealines (which were January if you can imagine). Thankfully the economy is in the bleeper and the Montessori schools are still looking for applicants. The issues are the commute to the schools, the schedules (some are half day others are weird hours) and the money (of course). I think she would love it there but that's sort of like saying I'd love a BMW. Or is it? Also, if she Montessori's now will she be bored out of her mind when she matriculated back into public school? I don't see us forking over $10,000 every year when we pay taxes for public school. The justification right now is that we are paying for daycare anyway why not pay for a better educational experience? As usual it's all a blur and will sort itsefl out somehow. Stay tuned....
