Ordinary Life : April 2008

We celebrated Earth Day by getting outside and absorbing one of Earth's best landscapes: The Seashore. We also became one with the sun and are still radiating its heat today (remind me to tell you about Fisher hiding the sun screen sometime!)

EdVenture Museum

This weekend we attended both a baseball game and Spring Practice for the Gamecocks. Before we left Columbia, we took the kids to the EdVenture Children's Museum (again).

Sprinkler

The other day- was it Thursday perhaps?- I'm not sure, but whichever day it was, the weather was warm enough to warrant a run through the sprinklers-- these are the only images that survived my recent camera malfunction.

RetroLand

A place I forget about until I get bored enough: RETROLAND.... and My RetroLand (which still needs lots of tlc, but not this week)

Lost "Boys"

Lost "Boys", originally uploaded by kellybrewer.

Logan and Chandler got a call back from the Peter Pan audition. They are to be in a group of the Lost Boys. Yesterday was their first read thru. They begin rehearsals this week.

Pets in Heaven

Fisher, my animal-friendly-sensitive-son, asked about animals in heaven the other day. We had been talking about life cycles, the food chain, etc... he witnessed a large cat eat a deer in an animal documentary and was ver sad for the deer. I assured him that the deer would go on to live a happy life in Eternity and went further still to assure him that all animals go to a Happy Place after they die.

Chandler, my eldest-know-it-all-son amended my answer quickly and matter of factly by adding:
"Not All Animals... DEMON PIGS, Remember?! How could they go to heaven with demons in 'em?"

He had me there.

Easter in Covington

We spent Easter in Covington, GA with my Grandparents and family from NY. I had some really great photos of my grandparents, parents and other family members, however, Chandler and his cousins decided they wanted to shoot funny videos ( they are on this America's Funniest Home Videos kick lately) and erased all of those photos- these are the few I was able to take after the Big Erase (not to mention after half the family had already left town!)

MGM Trip

We skipped out of town on St. Patrick's Day to "get away from the crowd". Does it make very much sense then that we spent our time out of town IN A CROWD and not only that but willingly standing in lines? Fun none the less:

Shadow Puppet Video Clips

A few clips of the "show" put on by Chan, Lo & Fisher:

*Note the "Creative Plagerism" in this one!

This time, they decide to rate it PG because of the SHARK:

Then they think perhaps PG13 is better:

The Final Product:
Part 1:

Part 2:

And Don't forget the CREDITS:
~~It should be noted that Fisher recorded most of this section, before dropping the camera and running to his spot. I didn't know it was on and I was being all "Director" like... it was also a very No Make Up day so please pay no attention to me... also, yes, I always boss my kids around like that...
