Disney Templates

This little video shows how many Disney movie scenes were created from templates. Dunno where they got the soundtrack played on here but I think this yodeling song was a perfect choice.

Hoppy Easter

Saturday at the firehouse

I've written about Weird Neighbor Kid before but not his littler brother, Loud Kid Who Likes to Climb Out 2nd Floor Windows To Crawl On The Roof. Hereafter known as Little Rumpelstiltskin cause he's short, wizened, and stomps his foot when yelling. He also gets very worried when our friend in Animal Control stops by the house for a visit during shift, fearful she's trying to take our dog away. In other words, a typical 7 year old.

Today was his birthday party.

At the Hanover County Volunteer Fire Dept.

They know how to put on a show, lemme tell ya. Starting with a video on fire safety (voice of Gilbert Gottfried as Seemore Smoke, smoke detector had all the adults laughing):



Followed by a full dress-out of a fireman for the kids:


The kids got to play at being a fireman (Birthday Boy pictured here, and can't you just see him ready to stomp his foot?):


And they even got to sit in the firetrucks (Weird Neighbor Kid AKA birthday boy's older brother pictured here):


All culminating in watching the ladder go up on the "big truck" that's pulled out behind Sparkly Punk Mama. (Who has certainly been nominated for coolest mom of the year award.)



Had it been warmer, the kids would've been allow to shoot off the fire hose. Alas, it was bit too chilly and it was time for cake anyways. Firehouse birthday fun was had by all. Including these two goofy oddballs:



Happy birthday Little Rumpelstiltskin. And no more climbing out the window giving me a heart attack, okay?

Wonderful World of Webkinz

Have you heard of Webkinz?

Little stuffed animals - like beanie babies. Difference is, when you buy these little creatures, you can sign up for the free online world where you earn KinzCash playing games to buy your online pet new clothes, food, and build a home for them. Quite the little craze.

And I'm addicted.

Cause in this house? THIS house? WE. COLLECT. MONKEYS. And I'm very serious about my monkeys. They must have tails or they're chimps. And I'm no chump.

Needless to say, I have three stuffed Webkinz monkeys. And yes, I play with them online. But the best part of all this I have become THE house to hang at in the 6 to 11 year old range.

I have the world's cutest little boys living across the street. If you follow me on Twitter, you've seen me post about the 10 year old neighbor kid who comes over to pick my wild onions and eat them. He and his brother collect Webkinz. And when they get a new one, my house is their first bragging stop. Matter of fact, most days when school is out, you'll see the boys trotting over to ask if I'll play Webkinz? No? Can Steve play football? No? What about Hunter, can we play with the dog? Eventually they'll hit on one of who can play. From there it's only a mater of time before the rest of us join in. And before you know it, off to Webkinz we go.

All that to say. Yes, Ez. I heard you. You want me to list some of my secret recipes on my website so your mom can print them off for you. Consider it done. As I come across my little scraps of paper, I'll post them for ya.

Now, um. Wanna play? Cause I need ya to help me figure out how to get that trophy!
