Have you read the series by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson that are prequels to Peter Pan? They are so cute! The first one is called Peter and the Starcatchers, and they just came out with a fourth one Peter and the Sword of Mercy. Connor loves them, and I am waiting on him to finish the newest one which he got for Christmas.
Yo! West Coast here!
I'm with you on the forced part. I just felt like it was an excuse for people to go out and get REALLY drunk and while I've been known to overdo it myself, I don't need a holiday to tell me when to drink..
I, too, like the actual New Years Day--Rose Parade, crisp clear weather....
I think we're going shopping tomorrow.
Happy New Year to you too....
My trip's coming up soon.
New years day!Oh my goodness, that wreath,
Didn't you just want to grab it and run?
Oh I know that would have been stealing.....
I really think I need one just like it.
Happy 2010 Patricia!!!
Great update!!! All that snow looks like a lot of fun to play in! The pics of Emily and David are too cute!
Peter Pan sounds like a lot of fun! We have the 2003 version, also, and it's my favorite. I always cry like a baby because of all the undertones about growing up, but Jason Isaacs does make it better.
I want to go to the Brandywine River Museum! An Alice in Wonderland exhibit and dollhouses??? I would be in heaven!
) There is a lot of lovely language in the actual Barrie book as well...I got it for Christmas to complement my Alice on CD read by Jim Dale...PP is read by Jim Dale as well...
...I mean you have to feel for Capt. Hook a bit...especially when he's so hmmm...attractive and well Lucius Malfoy could be turned to the good side-right?...I do love to watch him on the screen even when he's being bad...Happy New Year Triple P!!! I hope the New Year finds you with health, happiness and love!!!
Great update!
The kids look like they're having a blast in the snow! It was so much funI think it's supposed to snow all weekend here!!
I can't believe you found a newt!! DS7 would have wanted to keep it as a pet too! We had a hermit crab he found on the beach in bucket for 3 weeks this summer until we convinced him it needed to go back to the beach so he could find a new shell to live in!
Your trip to the theatre and museum look lovely!
...we noticed the cat and dog both staring at something and fortunately for Newty we got there before they got too involved...and believe me David was already to keep him...I'm just not sure I was...(not sure what kind of care they need...
) Em had Hermit crabs in the past and we umm didn't have alot of luck with them...Oh my goodness, that wreath,
Didn't you just want to grab it and run?
Oh I know that would have been stealing.....
I really think I need one just like it.
Happy 2010 Patricia!!!

I will check them out and I'm sure they'll be fun to read with David in a bit...
Happy New Year Patricia!
Lovely update! I love the three generations picture!
Happy New Year right back at you...Yes...It is lovely to be open...Happy New Year!! Glad that you are open again!
I would like a cranberry bog too....looks yummy and with cranberry I am sure it is good for you too
Like Alice's bag...the flag matches the mirrors on my Mini.
Loved the wreath....I am with you on getting one done by next Christmas. Maybe we could add two pieces a month...should be done by December
Tracy
Was that in your TR-I couldn't have missed that... I want a mini...I'm thinking about the little wagon...hmmm..what is that called...right now I have a Jeep but I'm thinking that Emily might get that when she can drive-which is only in a year not even......well at least I'll look into it...Great updates! I'm glad you are open for business again!
yes it was a shock to my system when I couldn't find my PTR...
I completely agree! We just finished up the Rose parade, sourdough french toast and are going to laungh into some TSM on the Wii and then the Rose bowl and chili! I
I always thought the Rose parade looked so pretty...French toast...Wii...Chili...sounds nice...
Crisp and clear? Al Roker was saying it was 80 at points, those poor band members! The floats this year were AMAZING!
We send the kids to bed around 11 lol. And we were not far behind!
Your 11 is my 2...and I'm sure I was having some serious REM sleep at that point...
That wreath is adorable! Of course I could see a whole Alice tree!
Oh I can definitely see the Alice tree...I'm just not sure if I'm up to the task of making all the ornaments...
I need to read those, Evan has the first one and I think Eric would like them too!
...isn't it nice somethings remain the same?Wonderful Holiday update...
thanks for sharing your fun and pictures...BTW how is your book room?
looking forward to when your Paris and WDW planning resumes.
J~
so it was just me and the girls watching. I'd never seen it before...very strange movie. We watched Dick Clark's Rockin' New Years Eve and saw the ball drop. Hannah declared that she wants to go to New York.
(OK I am having a hard time posting this smilie after reading dwan's TR tonight! )
Great NY EVE Update Patricia! I love all the pictures, especially the 3 generations! Wasn't that snow crazy? It's hard to believe we had so much and now its gone.
Your dog is a little cuties, even if he is a little bad boy!
You know ...the more I think about it...the more I'm thinking about trying to make some of those Alice figures...I mean how hard could it be...
and the book enabling continues...lmao:...isn't it nice somethings remain the same?
Funny you should ask...the books are being itemized in the garage by Eric for the homeowner's insurance...we had a team in on Tuesday and they basically took the whole room apart...part of ceiling...bookcases, rugs up...we have industrial fans and humidifiers in there to dry it all out and the guys are coming back on Monday to get them and we'll then be talking to the contractors to rebuild...should be done by the end of January...
Also funny you should mention Paris because today we had our first French Friday...(I'm going to post a bit w/ photos tomorrow...feeling a bit queezy tonight...)...We watched Ratatouille, had baguettes with lunch and I read a cute kid's book...Monsieur Saguette's Baguette...
I realized including today we only have 12 French Fridays to go...That trip will be here before I realize...
I really do feel like the White Rabbit...I'm late, I'm late for a very important PLANNING date...eeeekkkk....
)
And you are right. 80 odd days is going to fly by. January and February ALWAYS fly...
Your night in sounds lovely! Now that we have kids New Years Eve is a night in for us as well.
We had baked nacho grande for dinner and then family movie night. Hannah got "The Black Cauldron" DVD for Christmas so that's what we watched. Clay fell asleep
I have to second Jackie on the Dave Barry/Ridley Pearson books. I've been reading those to Hannah at bedtime. We're currently reading "Peter and the Secret of Rundoon". I've already bought the newst book and we'll start that when we're done with the current book.
I spent a few hours in Books-A-Million today. It was sheer heaven! I walked out with three new books: 1) An Ice Cold Grave by Charlaine Harris (I've really been getting in to her books lately!); 2) Mousejunkies by Bill Burke and 3) Street Gang: The Complete History of Sesame Street by Michael Davis. Can't wait to start reading them!
Happy New Year to you and your family!
Hey great update! Loved reading about the snow that we missed!!!!Fun things at your house, including the French night!
at least it was pretty and festive......my children take a lot of great classes there too...Rabbit's been taking 1/2 workshops and Alice is registered for (ironically) an Alice in Wonderland costume making workshop over 8 weeks and a half day Romeo and Juliet workshop...(this theatre...the Arden...is actually more know for their adult productions but they alway do two great kid's productions each year and half fabulous classes...Great NY EVE Update Patricia! I love all the pictures, especially the 3 generations! Wasn't that snow crazy? It's hard to believe we had so much and now its gone.
Your dog is a little cuties, even if he is a little bad boy!
Yes I really like that photo of DS, DH and DFIL myself...
...I have one of Alice, myself and my mother in law...but I didn't like the way I looked in it so I didn't post it...writer's perogative...Book enabling
UGH on the insurance itimizationPainful...
12 french Fridays? it's just around the corner!!!!!!!!! I know...
I'm voting for an Alice wreath with pre-made Alices...but I'm lazy!
You and me both sister...
Hey Nodnol...Happy New Year to you too...your trip is coming up so soon...
I hope that Remy is feeling better...
