A Christmas Tradition

Swimming at the hotel is becoming a family tradition.

Bee Movie - Review

Took the kids to see "Bee Movie" this afternoon at the dollar theatre.

My review: "At least we didn't pay full price for the tickets."

I feel sorry for all the people who did.

I love Jerry Seinfeld but I should have known this movie would stink because none of the trailers/previews looked any good at all. Even the crappiest movies have great trailers/previews.

Most of the funny parts were aimed at adults. And were only slight chortles, not rip-roaring funny.

I didn't appreciate the "Bujesus" reference.

Funniest part -- for me -- was "Sting" taking the stand and having to defend his use of the name "Sting".

The accuser says, "Your real name is .... Gordon M. Sumner!"

The jury gasps in horror.

Sting later protests, "But it's just a prance-about-stage name".

I love that Sting has such a sense of humor and is able to poke fun at himself.

And I like Patrick Warburton who played "Putty" in the Seinfeld series; it was great to have him as a character in a movie with Jerry.

Aside from that, the movie mostly just had us scratching our heads, wondering what was the point.

John's Maze

An art class project for John.

Sesame Street

I remember this one from my childhood. I was singing it to my kids and then I thought ... I bet youtube has it. I was right.



Here's another I remember...

Cool Honda Civic Commercial

Another cool Honda commercial. This one has a choir making all the sound-effects for a car driving on the road. Cool.

Cool Honda Accord Commercial

I saw this about a year ago and sent this to my mom for her to use in her physics classes. It's all about transforming energy from one form to another. Cool.

Happiness, 2

Carolyn bought Emmalee the figurine of "Happiness" for her birthday.

Today Emmalee said, "Look mommy. You gave me happiness and now I'm giving happiness
to you."

Carolyn said, "You do that every day, sweetie."

Fish

It's probably been almost two years since we bought any fish. When Carolyn was working evenings, late 2005 early 2006, the kids and I had a routine of feeding the fish right before bed, sitting in the dark watching the fish eat their food.

I took John and Emmalee to the pet store on Saturday and they each picked out a fish. Emmalee picked a fancy guppy with a leopard-spotted tail, and John picked a black molly.

Before we got home Emmalee had fallen in love with her fish, and named it "Bella".

John's fish has a temporary working title of "So-Duh", which is like "Soda" only with the emphasis on the second syllable. It's from a computer game they've been playing.

I found this crayon drawing by Emmalee, which shows the hexagonal fish tank, Emmalee watching her fish, and John's fish looking away.

The World's Biggest Marble

No, not really "the worlds biggest marble" but rather a touchable marble sculpture at Holliday Park.
