national_treasure_2_poster.jpg

We just got back after going to see the second National Treasure film. It was good. It has that Indiana Jones meets Lara Croft feel to it. I love the intrigue and puzzle-solving aspect to it.

The kids are actually the ones that asked to go see it. It was on a preview for Underdog which we watched all together last night. That was also pretty good for a kids' film. It brought back some fond memories of the cartoon which I watched as a child. Hubby says that Jason Lee's voice wasn't really a good choice (although we like him in the parts he has played), because Underdog's voice is really quite nerdy in the cartoon.

Both of the National Treasure films are ones that I think my mother would enjoy. I plan on renting them both when this one comes out on dvd so I can bring them down to watch with her.

Speaking of my mother, Friday was the first day of her retirement from the school system!!! Yayyy, Mom!!! She said she feels so good knowing she doesn't have to go to school on Tuesday, ready for a new batch of students she would have to plan things for. She's looking forward to relaxing a bit before finding something that she can do to make a little money on the side.

Her first out of work art project is creating people from Sculpey and FIMO dough. She said she's made three people already, but is going to start focusing on faces and getting them the way she wants them. Hopefully, when my schedule gets more under control, I can start creating with her, and then fulfill my long-term goal of being in an art fair with my mother. :)
