Alvin and the Chipmunks The Squeakuel DVD Review & Giveaway4/4

- brandy3 306 Comments

Product Description: When a concert mishap lands Dave in the hospital, the Chipmunks take a break from superstardom and enroll in school to fit in with kids their age.  But they soon face some stiff competition when they meet the Chipettes — a beautiful, talented trio of chipmunks discovered by Ian, the boys’ evil ex-manager!

****My kids loved this movie!  It didn’t seem as funny as the first one, but it was still really good. The boys start school after Dave gets hurt and all the girls love them. The boys get jealous and start playing tricks on them including giving Simon a swirly.  The Chipettes meet with Ian and then faceoff with the Chipmunks in a Singing competition. Alvin never shows up so the Chipettes win.  They come together at the end and become one big family!  My daughters loved when the Chipettes sand Single Ladies. My favorite part was when Ian comes out and pretends to be the Chipettes with puppets, so funny.

*****The Princess and The Frog is a lot different than any other Disney Princess movie, Not just the fact that this is the first African-American Princess. The setting for the movie is based on real life, no big castle on a hill in the middle of nowhere. My kids actually were a little scared watching this movie. The villain is really portrayed as evil and scary.  It has a lot of adventure and ia a great movie for kids over the age of 4 or 5.

Release date: March 16, 2010

Running Time: 97 minutes

My rating:8

Okay I don’t know if that’s the best title.

graduation.jpg GRADUATIONS image by sissychrissy2008

So my hubby graduates in May, with a BS in Chemistry and a BS in Biology, double major. So this past year he has been applying and attending grad school interviews. He was accepted everywhere he applied, with the acception of two schools we have yet to hear from.

Our number one choice accepted him! Cold Spring Harbor(Watson School of Biological Sciences). We are super excited and will be moving to Cold Spring Harbor, New York in late summer.Cold Spring Harbor is on Long Island and about 30 minutes from Manhattan.

I’ve never been to New York City so I’m excited and it’s a great opportunity as a lot of blogging stuff happens in New York. I still will not be attending Blogher, I’ve just never been into spending more than my rent to go to a conference.

So those of you that have been to New York City or Long Island tell me what i have to look forward too good and bad?
