Friday is here again, with blustery cold weather that heralds the true beginning to the winter. 

While minus 17 isn’t the worst I’ve seen, neither is it a temperature I enjoy. I eagerly anticipated the hibernation to come at the end of the day, breaking my plans to eat chicken and beans with naan and butter chicken instead, convinced I needed it to stay warm.

We then bedded down on the couch, the five of us for a family movie. I felt like a giant mushroom, there in the dark, covered in dirt from my son’s daily adventures. 

We watched Hotel Transylvania 2, the kids transfixed and me feeling warm and lucky.

Friday night family movie night. My favorite night of the week.
