Women in Art / Painting Mona Lisa with Mspaint

Emeli pointed out these two you tube videos, which were very entertaining.

The first is Women in Art. A wonderful morph of various women in paintings showing art history very nicely.

The second is: How to Pain the MONA LISA with MsPaint . This just blew me away. :)

Enjoy!

Success!!!

Well as you can see above, I am not the one in the pool :) . She went all by herself. We are SOOO PROUD! I am amazed. She LOVED it. We were worried for awhile that we wouldn't get her out, but she listened to the teacher and got out when asked. WE WERE SOOOO PROUD!!!

Talk about fun! More pics to come!

Harry Potter - discovery of the need for Audio books

Well, in the last 2 weeks I finally having great excitement toward getting the last Harry Potter book coming out on July 21. I pre-0rdered the book down at the Mall at Borders (first time ever ordering it locally. Usually get it at Amazon). That being said, I have very little recollection of the previous books now. I haven't had the time (can anyone relate :) ). I am though discovering the joy of audio books in the car. Now that I am taking Irene to pre-school, my drive tends to be a bit longer than dropping her off at daycare. As a result, I pulled out the only Harry Potter audio book I have ever owned (Book 6 - The Half-blood Prince). I am finding it such a joy to listen to that I am seriously beginning to look at getting the previous ones. I can't believe I did it, but I spent $75 on the Book 6 audio book because they were the CD editions (not download). I went to Itunes in the last couple of days and found they were much less expensive(by $32). I was amazed. So if you have an Ipod or don't mind burning your own CD's go Itunes. worth it IMHO

Swimming lessons begin today

Well, we're going to see if Irene is going to freak out going to swim lessons and going in the pool with a teacher and not momma. *shudder*. Tonight is the first night. I am expecting the worst (kicking, screaming, no no no!!), but hope that maybe she will want to get right in and do her thing. Last night she was dunking her head in upside down at the pool steps :) She wanted to go streaking into the pool and go swimming to which I put a an absolute *NOT* to. :) Here's hoping this enthusiasm continues.

I am going to be the pessimist here now.
