Willow

My sister's family, The Stebbins, are in town visiting. It's so much fun to be Aunt Leslie to my super cute nieces Taylor and Makenzie. I always bring dvds from my place for them to watch. This time it was Pee-Wee's Playhouse set 1 & 2, Powerpuff Girls "Meet the Beat-Alls," Yellow Submarine and my all time favorite Willow with Val Kilmer and Warwick Davis. I forgot how much I loved this movie. Story by George Lucas and directed by Ron Howard which is so 80's. What was it about the kids movies in the 80's that made them so awesome? Well anyway my favorite part is when they sled on the shield and Val Kilmer falls off and turns into a big snowball. Both girls having been asking to watch it which makes me very excited. Tomorrow is the last day of their visit and I will be sad to see them go. They have been visiting more but I am going to make an effort to go visit them in MA. I'm taking 2 classes next semester plus the LeslieGallery business is branching out into more ways to collect your memories into one place. What's your favorite 80's movie?

July 5th

Hooray no work today. I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July with food and fireworks galore. July 3rd was my mom's birthday. her, my dad and me went out to a wonderful italian restaurant called Florano's. i made her a lovely photo box with a red flower fabric on the outside and green paper with leaves printed on them for the inside pages. she loved it. i'm also crocheting a hand-towel for their kitchen but haven't finished it yet. My sister and her family are coming into town tomorrow for a visit. i am so excited because they are so much fun. one day we're going to the zoo. the DC Zoo is great. lots of fun animals. i will be staying away from the reptile exhibit. they have snakes and i do not like snakes. Oh my mom just sent me a text saying that both my nieces want to watch Powerpuff Girls and drink out of the Powerpuff Girl cup. The Powerpuff DVD i have is fine but i only have 1 cup. then they will have to learn to share. I love the Powerpuff Girls.
