The air is starting the cool, there is a lot more rain, the color on the leaves are just barley started to change to a lighter shade of green. The pools are closing and the dreaded Pumpkin spice everything has already hit the shelves. It only means that we have made it to September. That's right. It's that time of year where spooky season is about to start, followed by the biggest dinner or the year, and then the holiday season. The best is still yet to come this year so we are going to keep trucking on.
We are about to get to the most magical time of the year we need to have a little magic added. This month's movie was from Nora, and she chose TinkerBell and the Pirate Fairy.
In the land where fairies come together to find out their powers, some get a little bit more curious than others. We come to know Zarina as she is working with the Pixie Dust. Always wanting to know more about how it works and what more can be done with it, she takes one drop of the precious blue dust and start to experiment with it. When she discovers that she can create different color dust to use to work with all of the different powers that all the fairies can have, things go awry. In her embarrassment, she runs away taking a little of the dust with her. A year later, she comes back to get more dust to bring back to a pirate ship, in which she is the captain. In he escape, she ends up switching our hero's powers. Can they save the dust, the fairies, and their friend?
I really did enjoy this movie. I was really shocked that this is the movie that Nora had picked. I wasn't really sure about this at first but it's actually really cute. It's a great story of still being there for your friends when they have lost their way. We all lose our way sometimes and it's great to have friends there for you when you have gone down the wrong path.
This month's theme really lined up with the theme rather well. We talk about Understanding. I did go a little cliché this month. The saying "walk a mile in someone else's shoes"? Well, I bought everyone shoes. I bought everyone a pair of flip flops from the dollar store, and told everyone to really put themselves in someone else's shoes this month. The reason that it's needed in friendship is because we don't all always walk through the same season of life at the same time. Some of us are married, have kids, working all the time, have deployed spouses, have grandchildren, sick parents, and number of different things. Some walks of life are going to be things that some of us may never understand, or something we will walk through later in life. When the walk get's hard it's good to know that someone is there to help your or guide you. We all need that understanding.
We also had a bonus gift this month as well. This bonus gift comes from Nikki Day! She is by far the hardest person that I had to figure out a bonus gift for. She only gave me 10 items on her original list, and hers were all really serious! Except for one. she simply wrote "Cubs Fan". Now, usually, I don't condone those types of words cause I am not one! However, I did get creative. I was going to buy everyone something from their favorite sports team, but money and time were not with more. So, I simplified it. I bought a pack of those hand held fans paper fans and got a stencil. I wrote "cubs" on everyone fan and gave them out. All except for one. My mother, a St. Louis Cardinals fan, would have murdered me if I did that to her. So, I gave her the red one and wrote "Cardinals" on it.
I can believe in a less than two weeks we will be in the last three months of the year.
