Where's Fresh Prince?

When I need my 90's show fix-Youtube is the place to go.

I can watch Moesha, Martin, Sister, Sister, Roseanne, Double Dare (don't judge me) but no full episodes of Fresh Prince

I even watched a few episodes of Silver Spoons, The Dinosaurs, and ALF with the boys but still, no Fresh Prince.

 

Where you at Will?

Nostalgia: The Mouse & the Motorcycle

One of the things I love about being a mom is sharing my childhood with my kids. Theo's favorite animal is a mouse, so I told him about one of my favorite stories... The Mouse and the Motorcycle by Beverly Cleary. I also loved all the Ramona books.

  

 I searched Youtube and found The Mouse & the Motorcycle movie.  Score!

 

Theo: "They look like squirrels, not mice." lol

 

The movie was sooo bootleg and dated but I left it on anyway. lol

I fell asleep about 15 minutes in but Theo seemed to enjoy it.

I also saw the whole book series is available on Amazon Kindle, so I added it our book list.

Good times!

Blast From the Past

The boys found my dusty ALF doll in my parents' basement a few weeks ago.  

 

I still remember when my sister and I tried to sell him for $6 at a yard sale. lol

Hyped for the Olympic Games

The kids and I have been busy watching Olympic highlights as far back as 1988. Gotta love Youtube!

 

Growing up, my favorite events to watch were track & field, figure skating, gymnastics, and synchronized swimming.

I drove my mom crazy doing my version of Dominique Dawes' floor exercise routine on her furniture.

You couldn't tell me I wasn't Dominique Dawes! lol

Michael Johnson was the man and Marion Jones broke my heart.

 

I can't wait see the highlights from London!
