Tinker Moth

As we were heading down to the water Jasper made an exciting discovery. On the side of our home was a moth.

Both kids got overly animated. I didn't quite understand all the hype. Even for my kids, they were excessively awed by this particular bug. Avey much more so than Jasper.

Jasper: Mommy look it's a moff! A moff! Oh my goodness is so adowable. Look sissy, a moff!

Avabella: AAH! Mommy! Wook, wook! Oh tute! Oh dosh! *high pitch girly squeels*

Aves is jumping, pointing and wiggling so much trying to get me to put her down so she can get an up close view. What has gotten in to her?!

Me: Uh huh it's a very cute moth. Come on guys lets go play in the water.

Avabella: Nooo!!!

Me: Ok!! Geez fine let's go see it. Just stop screeching at me, monster.

Naturally Jasper poked it. The "adorable" moth took off flying in the sunshine. It was in the next moment I discovered why my little princess was so VERY excited about an ugly moth when usually she hates bugs and says eew.

Avabella, my little mandrake root, squealed in her highest, girliest voice. Pointing and jumping up and down. Eyes glued to Mr. Moth as it fluttered away. The most excited I think I have ever seen her. Ever.

Avabella: HAHBELL!!!!! Mommy woot, Hahbell!!

Que the awe's. My darling little daughter found a fairy. Tinkerbell.

Thank you, Bella-boo. Thank you so much to both my babies for reminding me that magic is everywhere. You close my eyes again and again so that I can once more see with my heart the treasures all around.

Apparently Shrek is a huge hit in our house.  Jasper can talk you through the whole movie telling you which parts are funny and what's coming up.  He especially loves the beginning when Shrek is "cleaning" himself.  It's pretty adorable when Jasper gets into trouble now, too.

Me:  Jasper Nolan-Lee!  I said, "No".  It is not okay to throw things.
Jasper:  Kind of blank expression on face.  Eyes open wide and blinking slowly.
Me:  Aww, honey...


We figured out later he got that little look from Puss-In-Boots.  Those cute little kitten eyes that will get him whatever he wants.  Stinkin' ham!!!  And I fall for it every time.

Underwold Awakening in 3D was pretty awesome. My first 3D movie but not my first 3D experience. Hello? I was a Disneyland kid. 3D was everywhere. I liked it and I'm glad we went but 3D isn't all it's cracked up to be. I don't think it's worth it, the glasses give me a headache and I didn't gain any kind of cool extra experience. 2D would have been just as awesome.

I loved the movie though! I hope they continue the story. Their daughter Eve was badass! I'd love to see more of her all hybrid-ed out. India Eisley is the actresses name. I don't think I've seen her in anything else but I'm sure she'll be showing up in more. She's a great actress and very pretty.

Have you seen anything good lately? In 3D?
