2 Great Things!

~Saturday night, Brian gave me the night off.
I went to La Rana, a family run mexican place by my house and had quite possibly the best Chili Rellano!
~ I then headed on over to Borders book store to read craft magazines and books to my hearts content! Being more familiar with Barnes and Noble, I did not know my way so much around Borders and back tracked around the store alot. This book, Dulac's Fairy Tale Illustrations actually found "Me"! I looked up as I was going through a isle and there it was! I grew up with many of these illustration in my books so I was very happy to have found this treasure!
~ I especially love the dress illustrations which will further my making of my Toy Theater that is in the works for a Catherine Moore group.

**************************************************************
Next to share is that Enchanted hits the stores on March 18th! Yea!
I can't wait to put it in Dyllan's easter basket!

Happy St. Patricks Day!

~ May the luck of the Irish be with You! ~

The Next Survivor Series

(I got this in a e-mail and thought I'd share it with all you blog-mommies!)

THE NEXT SURVIVOR SERIES

Six married men will be dropped on an island with one car and 3 kids each for six weeks.
`
Each kid will play two sports and either take music or dance classes.
`
There is no fast food.
`
Each man must take care of his 3 kids; keep his assigned house clean, correct all homework, and complete science projects, cook, do laundry, and pay a list of 'pretend' bills with not enough money.
`
In addition, each man will have to budget in money for groceries each week.
Each man must remember the birthdays of all their friends and relatives, and send cards out on time.
`
Each man must also take each child to a doctor's appointment, a dentist appointment and a haircut appointment.
`
He must make one unscheduled and inconvenient visit per child to the Urgent Care.
`
He must also make cookies or cupcakes for a social function.
`
Each man will be responsible for decorating his own assigned house, planting flowers outside and keeping it presentable at all times.
`
The men will only have access to television when the kids are asleep and all chores are done.
`
The men must shave their legs, wear makeup daily, adorn himself with jewelry, wear uncomfortable yet stylish shoes, keep fingernails polished and eyebrows groomed.
`
During one of the six weeks, the men will have to endure severe abdominal cramps, back aches, and have extreme, unexplained mood swings but never once complain or slow down from other duties.
`
They must attend weekly school meetings, church, and find time at least once to spend the afternoon at the park or a similar setting.
`
They will need to read a book with the children each night and in the morning, feed them, dress them, brush their teeth and comb their hair by 7:00 am.
`
A test will be given at t he end of the six weeks, and each father will be required to know all of the following information: each child's birthday, height, weight, shoe size, clothes size and doctor's name.
`
Also the child's weight at birth, length, time of birth, and length of labor, each child's favorite color, middle name, favorite snack, favorite song, favorite drink, favorite toy, biggest fear and what they want to be when they grow up.
`
The kids vote them off the island based on performance.
`
The last man wins only if...he still has enough energy to be intimate with his spouse at a moment's notice.
`
If the last man does win, he can play the game over and over and over again for the next 18-25 years eventually earning the right To be called Mother!

Prepare to get Wet.

~ No pictures today sorry. I still don't know how to use my hubbys professional grade photo shop and will have to wait until he get's home from Canada on Saturday. For a while, Dyllan was calling it Can-and-ada and now he calls it Candy-da!
*
~ Got off to a late start in going to Disneyland with Dyllan today (thursday), but got there about 1:00pm. We picked up his photo id pass in D-land then jetted over to California Adventure to meet up with some friends.
*
While waiting, Dyllan had his photo taken with Pluto, Jo Jo, Dopey, and Snow White.
*
~ So then our friends arrive and we hit a few rides in Bugs land before finding a space to watch the parade.
*
~ Prepare to get wet. That's what the cast member said to me. So we are all hanging out and the parade opener is Lighting McQueen with dancers around him holding spray bottles pretending to give the car a wash, when they are really spritzing the crowd. No biggy. We can handle that. Or so we think.
*
~Next come the characters from Monsters Inc. Dancing and a large float with Mike and Scully on there spraying the audience. Trailing were 2 guys in the yellow jumpsuits squirting people at will. So we all start hiding our camera's in our coats, thank god I was not wearing my hearing aids!
*
~ Next is the Incredibles standing on these space age hover crafts, followed by the baby incredible on that octopus like machine that get's defeated in the movie. The arms of the machine are controlled by cast members who aim at the audience and shoot water out, not squirt, not spritz, but shoot. I had to sheild a friends baby in her stroller from all the water while we all kept a eye on the kids who were getting soaked!
*
~The characters from Bugs land come up the way, and as you are entranced and humored by heimlichs little dance you get a face full from the bugs land float! And then you are mesmerrized by the amazing acrobatics on the float and watch in awe as a arc of water comes out of a oversized flower and lands on your friend, but before you can laugh, you get a earful, of water too!
~ I totally loved this whole parade! It was colorful and surprising . I'll just know next time to put away the camera and cover the stroller so it does not get so drenched!
~ Dancers come gliding with shimering animated Nemo characters, and the overhead light post spews endless amounts of bubbles that delighted the children to no end. Sea turtles, jelly fish and more soaking. ( you might want to bring an umbrella)
*
~ Next we are greeted by tall chefs on stilts with plastic hair , leading the way for a Rat-tat-toulie float. Swinging mice, and more water comes out of truly unexpected places.
*
~ The Toy Story Characters and float was the icing on the cake. The martians in their space ship squirting water from their ray guns, I got hit dead on in the face and so did my friends baby.
Mater from Cars ended the parade and it was over. Cast members were mopping up the ground, bubbles were still flowing and we were wet. Our strollers were wet. The kids had bubbles in their hair.

It was alot of fun! But prepare to get wet!
