Ramona and Beezus

Went to the movies and saw Ramona and Beezus. The story is based on the Beverly Cleary series. Ramona(Joey King) has her share of misadventures. Beezus (selena gomez)her older sister is a typical teen. Mom and dad, Bridgit Moynahan and John Corbett deal with their family and contemporary situations. Story regulars Henry Huggins, Howie,Willa Jean and Susan are there as well.The film is appropriate for the whole family. The princess gives it four tiaras

Dirty and tired

The day camp brochure states "campers will be dirty and tired" I want half the tuition back. She's dirty...at the end of the day. She's got stains on her skates that will not come off. I tried clorox clean up and mr clean magic eraser. If the competition wasn't next weekend I wouldn't be so concerned. Going to try white out next.

The Barefoot Bowler...almost

Went bowling with the captain and the princess. She got a spare on the 10th frame and removed the bowling shoes not realizing she had another throw. I told her she had another turn, she got up to get a ball, sans shoes. She didn't get far, she retreated and put the shoes back one. Rolled a strike...that's my girl. BTW she beat both of us LOL.

PJ Day

Pajama Day

Today's theme is pajama day. The princess went off wearing a nightgown and a rain jacket. I know what you're thinking... She ordinarily wears fleece footed pj's or just her undies;neither would be a good choice today.

There are two bathing suits,shorts,t shirt,socks,skating attire and underwear in the bag. Wondering what she'll have on when I see her later.

The Backpack

She got her backpack this morning,life is good.

The counselors told me she was crying for me during the day. Now this is a first. She never did this at pre school or elementary school. She said she was homesick. Maybe so,but I have my doubts.

Tomorrow is pajama day. I overheard the director telling the counselors to keep it respectable. No thongs or teddies were his exact words. I have to remind the princess of this as well.

Day Camp Diva

Lets the games begin. The princess started day camp yesterday. She's already making her outrageous demands regarding camp attire and accessories. Today's theme is Hawaiian Day. She tells me that a Lei can only be worn with a dress. Well she's not wearing a dress today, she's wearing shorts and a floral pattern top. Get over it.



Then there is the the issue surrounding the official camp backpack. The counselors didn't give her one yesterday and she's miffed about it. She's using a rolling backpack. It's the only one big enough(barely) for all of her gear. She has all the normal day camp stuff as well as her own ice skates so her load is larger than most of the other campers. Yesterday the bag appeared as if it was dragged on the ground. Hope she gets her backpack today or I'm going to spontaneously combust.

Fabulous Friday

No idea what that day has in store for me other than the things I have planned,like working.

Quiet for the moment but I know that wont last long. Working from home is sometimes tough when the captain and the princess are roaming around.

The princess announced last night she will need one pc. bathing attire for camp rather than her preferred 2 pc. (belly out) suits. Add another errand to the never ending list. Better get moving while I still have a chance.

Trying to stay cool

Another day near 90. The princess asked at 8:00 am if she could go to the skating rink.

Had a quiet 4th,went to see fireworks by the beach. Grucci did a show out on the Great South Bay. We were able to view from a distance. There was a pretty decent sized crowd.

The traffic for the ferry was crazy. Cars parked everywhere, guess the daytrippers were willing to get ticketed or towed.

Got to go to the pet store later as Mr. Fish passed on quietly early yesterday.

The water park

Visited the town's new water spray park today. They are still working out some of the bugs, just opened a few days ago. No concessions yet but the place is so cute. One of a few cool places to vosot on a hot day.
