"Tangled"

 This past Saturday, Sydney and I had some "girl time" together. And of course top on our list of girlie things to do was to go and see the new Disney movie entitled "Tangled." Sydney wanted to get all dressed up for our outing by having her hair fixed, some pixie dust on her cheeks, and a pretty dress. She started out in her own seat but about 5 minutes into the movie she was sitting with me, eating a hot dog and a few treats I had stashed in my purse. We laughed, I cried, we laughed some more, answered a few pertinent questions from Sydney about events taking place and then I cried and we laughed until the end. We both loved the movie and Sydney has started saving money in an envelope entitled "Rapunzel" in order to purchase the movie as soon as it hits the store shelf.

Our new favorite character: Pascal

"Rapunzel's one true friend is her silent, color-changing sidekick, Pascal. Pascal may be just a small chameleon, but he plays a big role in Rapunzel's decision to leave her lonely tower. This supportive and encouraging companion's true colors just might hold a key to unlocking a royal mystery."

Hiccup's Dragons

Last night we took Noah to his first movie, Sydney to her second, and everyone to their first, in 3-D on the big screen. We were not disappointed! The tale of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, a boy who was born into a world of vikings, whose survival depends on protecting their village by killing dragons, and he is the first that will not kill one. The story takes many exciting turns that left my sprouts on the edge of their seats and sometimes in our laps. But nothing was too scary and there was not any language or phrases that we cringed at as parents. During the movie when Hiccup feeds Toothless the dragon a fish, Noah exclaimed for all to hear, "He's SO cute!" The audience agreed with laughter and affirmation, "Yes, he is!" We would recommend this movie for the fun and adventure told through a great story for families. EXCELLENT!!!

Austen's Emma

 

 I am now the proud owner of the new version of "Emma" by Masterpiece Theatre. My sweet husband has made it a tradition to buy me one of the classics from BBC on special occasions, but knowing

I would have a hard time waiting till our anniversary he decided to give it to me today. It was so kind of him to give me the gift knowing full well that he would eventually have to endure the 229 minutes of Austen bliss. I love that man!
