Evan Almighty

Just to think about the story I am about to tell you makes me LAUGH OUT LOUD.

Every once in a while you run into the three day movie marathon where every time you turn the TV on the same movie is about to start or just end. There are certain movies that when you find them on, especially comedy's. You have to sit down and watch. For me one of those movies is Evan Almighty.

I never used to be a Steve Carell fan, in fact I have NEVER watched an episode of The Office. I am sure at this point my sister is gasping for air right now. However, this movie just makes me truly laugh out loud. One weekend before Christmas this marathon was on and I watched part of this movie at least three times. The kids watched the movie all the way through and loved the animals and I heard them giggling through it.

Side bar:

Early November I went to a craft fair and did a little Christmas shopping. I love these types of events because I can find unique items I won't find at Target, Walmart or any store in the mall. I found a jewelry maker and a really cool pendant. At another vendor I found a cool necklace to match the pendant.  I was talking to the lady about the pendant so I could find the right necklace for it. Somehow I just started babbling about Maddie and how lucky I was.

When my transaction was complete I noticed my bag was bigger than it should have been. I looked in the bag and looked back and the lady. She told me she slipped a little something in the bag for Maddie and wished me a Merry Christmas. It was a hand made sewn book. Complete with bright colors and a great story.

Back to the Story:

So Maddie opens the book from "Santa" and was very excited. She has carried it around, hugged it and slept with it. To her it was one of her favorite gifts. I keep finding the book all over the house in the oddest places so I know it is getting used. Not to mention, read at least three times a week.

Did I mention the title of the book....."Noah's Ark"

The first time Katie read the book to me she just finished the first page and was turning to the second; looks up at me as it all the lights in the attic just went on and says, "Mommy we have seen this movie!"

I'm not sure the Bible Story and a Steve Carell playing Noah qualify as the same book and movie but man I laughed about it all day. I can't even tell the story without laughing.
