Yesterday was hot and miserable and I ended up with nausea and a headache, but it was fun and the kids did a great job. Logan got injured several times and continued playing; he refused to get out of the game.....coaches love that. He started on offense and defense. He played fullback, safety, cornerback, and left and right outside linebacker. The girls did a great job cheering, too. Below is a picture of Lindsey at the game, and then one from Chili's. I don't have any of Logan because I couldn't ever get him to stay still long enough for a picture.

When we got home and showered, Lindsey and I decided to go on a date. We ate at Chili's and then we went to see "The Help". It was a very good adaptation of the book because the only things that they cut out or changed weren't crucial and didn't change the story. Actually, I thought that there were a few scenes that were better in the movie because of the slight changes made; it's pretty rare that I say that. I usually hate movies based on books because they are usually so different than the book. I cried at the end, Lindsey cried a few times; it was a good movie. It was also a great way for Lindsey to learn about the 60's. She didn't know about the KKK and JFK being killed, so it was a good way to get her interested in history.
No Word of the Day today, I think that I must have deleted it on accident.
Joan and I went. We both cried too. I hate Hilly more after seeing the movie but I think she got hers more in the movie than the book - I liked that. Sarah's Key is a must see. Gerg and I sat in the theater for about 10 minutes - just sitting. Kristen Scott Thomas is amazing - we saw her on Broadway and fell in love with her acting. I ordered the book last night. Can't wait to read it.
