*I am so impressed with the quality of the camera on my iphone.  I never new what I was missing, and with kids you never know when you are going to want to whip a camera out of your pocket.

Eva: a brother and a sister

Me: you want both?

Eva: Ya

Me: twins?

Eva: Ya, twins

Eva: Ahhhhh.  Scary.

Me: yes, very scary.

I saw “UP” last Friday and while I wasn’t expecting to ball my eyes out in a kids movie…I did for the first half hour.  It’s a great  movie.  See it.

We received our first free product to review! I LOVE getting free things but I am mostly excited about WHAT we got. It is a CD of the Spanglish Wrangler (Will Thomas). I already fell in love with his songs on Jitterbugtv.com and now with the CD we can rock out anytime anywhere.
