Our 4th Of July Celebration

- brandy3 1 Comment

There is not a lot of Firework shows within an hour drive of us. There are a few outside of an hour like NYC Firework spectacular or a Car raceway, but with the late night fireworks and long drive; We decided against it.

There was a feast and Festival at a local Catholic church/school with Fireworks on Saturday, so we decided to attend that. They had tons of rides and games, although I think majority of Carnival games are a rip off. They had a few kiddie rides for my youngest which was really fun.    It just also happen to be my husband and I anniversary, so it was a fun family day out.

Merry Go Round is always fun and Easy

This picture is bad, but my Husband took my 6 yr old and 5 yr old on the Pirate ship ride that sways back and forth(to the point where it almost flips over).    I had to stop watching after a couple of minutes as I started to cry, because I was afraid one of my babies would fall out.

This again is another bad photo, but I actually got hubby to take a picture with me

Fireworks

 

We had a lot of fun and celebrated with Hamburgers and hotdogs on Sunday.

Today is more of a relaxed day and we will be celebrating by watching fireworks on TV, since we have work tomorrow.

HAPPY INDEPENDANCE DAY

- brandy3 1 Comment

Moving up? The LAPD is looking for a new chief and Will Pope thinks he has the inside track. He soon has an unexpected rival for the job: Brenda. And Brenda has an unexpected ally helping groom her for the selection process: Capt. Raydor. The contest for chief is only one of the ingenious, suspenseful, often funny storylines that makes Season Six of The Closer stellar entertainment. Join the squad as Sanchez looks after an orphaned boy, Tao goes undercover as a biker dude, Provenza and Flynn date airline attendants (turns out one of them has a corpse in her bathtub) and Brenda finds her family Christmas rudely interrupted by crime.

Bonus Features:

  • Police Files/Unaired Scenes
  • Script To Screen Making Episode 3, In Custody
  • Kyra Sedgwick Opens Up About The Closer
  • Gag Reel

I really liked Kyra Sedgwick opening up about The Closer.  It’s really interesting to hear her perspective on the show, and how she didn’t know how successful it would be.  It always boggles my mind to really know what actors/actress think.  The making of Episode 3 In Custody was fun to watch, because that is such a great episode.

Get Outdoors and Explore with Backyard Safari

- brandy3 1 Comment

The Expedition Three kit features the Backyard Safari Base Camp Field Shelter.  It features storage spaces for all your Essential Field Gears. Over 40 inches tall, it’s large enough for several backyard safari kids to set up their own instant base camp in the field, all year round.
We were able to have some fun outdoor (pretend)  camping and hiking fun. We received a base tent with lantern, a camoflauge net, walking stick and magnifying glass. My kids were so excited to get these. They immediately got a pad of paper out and started their field journals. They used the magnifying glass to spot small insects, and would hide in the tent to wait for squirels. The walking stick is great for hiking around but it’s a little big for them to use. They actually try to use it more for a hitting stick than walking stick.  Everything is very durable, and the tent is also waterproof, it seems to rain whenever I set it up.
Visit http://www.backyardsafari.com/ to find your fun gear.
Base Tent is available through Amazon for $39.99

Disney Store Imagination Collection

- brandy3 1 Comment

The Disney store is coming out with new lines of Perfume, each to be released at different times throughout the year.

Imagination is now in stores:  Imagination, the signature fragrance used throughout the newly designed Disney Store, is described as an enchanted forest of sequoia trees, cool moss and green leaves. Inspired by the trees that line the route of the magical path within the new stores, the fragrance gives the sense of being in an enchanted forest. It’s a timeless scent inspired by nature that instills a feeling of
natural calm, allowing the imagination to soar.

** I love this collection, It’s not really perfume but more of keeping your house fresh. This collection features a scented candle, room spray, hand soap, and lotion. The smell is kindof strong, but not so strong that you can smell it a blaock away.  I really like the designs and how it fits in with the enchanted forest theme. We have been using the hand soap and spray all the time to keep the house fresh. I’m not really big on scented lotion, but my kids love the smell of it.  I can’t wait to try out some of the other Disney Store inspired fragrances coming out later this year.

Magic (inspired by all things Mickey) will be available in July 2011

Pixie Dust (inspired by Tinker Bell) will be available in Fall 2011

Retail: $12.50-$19.50
