You know your geting old when.....




I had a "I'm official an adult" moment on Easter! I used the phrase, "those darn teenagers" it made me laugh after I said it because I know it means I am getting old! We were having a picnic at the park for our Easter celebration. We laid out our blanket, got our picnic basket out, and got comfy. We started to notice a few teenagers with cardboard shields and swords walking in our direction. I was a bit puzzled as to what they were doing but figured they were teenagers who knows what they are up to. Slowly over the next 15 minutes more and more teenagers dressed in cardboard armor we setting up next to us on the grass field under beautiful oak trees. I told my husband I think there is going to be a battle of some sort, then the ammo arrived! There were about 30 or more teenagers gathered next to us when they all got excited at the huge crate full of eggs that a few teenagers were walking over to the group.

At that moment I declared we really need to move our picnic! We gather up all our stuff and headed to the other end of the park just in time. We looked over to where 5 minutes early we were relaxing and there was an all out battle! These teenagers were going wild having a egg fight! There were raw eggs flying through the air and splattering all over their cardboard armor. It was funny to see them having so much fun but my thoughts were, "so much food going to waste when there are hungry people", "what about the salmanola in raw eggs" and "oh their poor mothers who have to do their laundry". I knew at that moment I am official old and a party pooper! lol

The grassy field before we had to move!

Space Race Web Based Cartoon Poster Review and Giveaway




I have always liked Space themed cartoons for my son. I want him to learn about space and science. We watch a few of them on tv. They are informative and I like them but I think my son isn't as engaged as he could be. When I found Space Race on the web I was so excited! It is a fun, educational web based cartoon show. The animation is stunning! The character development is something I really like. The other shows we watch are flat animation with little to no personality. The webisodes each feature one of the characters of Space Race and teach about a part of our solar system. 



Our favorite character is Eagle Windstrong. He is cool, funny and strong willed, just like my little guy!  We are very excited that Space Race will be coming out with a feature film in 2013. I know we will be eagerly awaiting the release. You can watch the trailer to the movie here.



The website is full of interactive activities you can share with your kids after you watch the webisodes. There are Coloring PagesSpace Worksheets, Space Race Online Game, and Space Race Trivia game.



Space Race Poster in his room! He was hitting everything with the shipping package the poster came in. We recycled it into a sword!
