i had lists in my head all week. counting things. 3 carloads to chicago. 10 adults. 9 children. 2 hotel rooms. 2 babies. 9 beds. 2 baby beds. i counted bottles of wine bought at trader joe’s. jars of cinnamon from penzey’s. boxes of chocolates for christmas. hours of sleep my sister was getting when she was going into her new job as head baker at 4am. how many onions chopped? pies made by my mother? football games watched by cole? blessings counted by all.

but one of the most interesting lists i compiled was movies watched. between the 19 of us, we managed to view some movies last week. here they are. you can enjoy guessing who watched what? but i’ll go ahead and tell you that i sat next to my daddy bill in enchanted and i laughed hysterically while he sat like a rock, not cracking a smirk.
