Weekend Whatnot
We took the kids to see the new Nancy Drew movie this afternoon. It was my son's request, since today is his ninth birthday. Both kids give it a thumbs-up. They enjoyed the mystery, the pre-teen humor, and the extremely charming Emma Roberts in the title role. I found it to be pleasantly reminiscent of the live-action Disney films of the sixties.
Did I mention that my son turned nine today? All he wanted for his birthday was pizza, a movie, a few Hot Wheels, and an 80GB video iPod. Wait, that last one was mine. We're having his big party this weekend. Bouncer and BBQ in the backyard.
I don't mind if my kids snack between meals, as long as the snacks are healthy. With this Visual Guide To 15 Healthy Snacks, it makes it easier for us all to think about what we should be keeping in our refrigerator.
In the mood for a depressing, but fascinating, documentary? Try Born Into Brothels, a film about the children of prostitutes in India. It won the Best Documentary award at the 2005 Academy Awards.
I bought a monkey. Yes, an original Adam Koford postcard painting, created from my suggestion. And here it is, The Family Monkey. Even monkey daddies love their families:
Get your own monkey here.
There was something else I was going to write, but the monkey is watching me and making me nervous, and now I've forgotten everything.

I want to watch the Nancy Drew movie, it intrigued me. I'm a sucker for Disney like movies. :) I'm glad your family has given it a thumbs up.
Mr. T and I saw the documentary Born Into Brothels. It is amazing. We saw it a year or two ago and it still brings so many thoughts and emotions to my mind even now.
Thanks stopping by my blog and sharing your song with me. I love the lyrics. Time is definitely flying by right now. It's been lots of fun though.
