One Sock, Two Socks....

Those of you with children, and even those of you without kids, probably all know the book One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. It's one of Dr. Suess's most famous, after Green Eggs and Ham and The Cat in the Hat. Here is my homage to both socks and Dr. Suess....(through the first 17 pages of his book).



One Sock Two Socks....







One Sock





Two Socks









Red Sock









Blue Sock





















Black Sock









Blue Sock











Old Sock







New Sock

















This one has little stars









This one has a train car

(okay, so it's an engine, give me some creative leaway)







Say, what a lot socks there are!



Yes, some are red,

Some are Pooh,



Some are old,

And some are Tigger too.











Some are a fad





Some make you glad























Ang's socks are very, very rad.

















Why are they a fad, glad, and rad?

I do not know,

Just don't show her dad.







Some are thin







And some are fat.

















The fat one is a big brown cat.








From there to here

From here to there

Angela's socks

are everywhere.





Here are some

Just for fun







And some when

She has to run







Oh my! Oh me!

Oh my! Oh me!

What a lot of

socks I see.











Some are two socks





And some are four

Some are six socks

Though there may be more.









Where do they come from?

Ang's room I say

I don't think some have ever

Seen the light of day.





I see Ang come

I see Ang go

Why her socks don't match

I will never know.





Her socks knee high







Her socks real low











Not one pair is like another

Don't ask me why

I am just her mother.

According to the bag, 10 pounds of chicken are used to make a 15 lb bag of dog food. Now that's a lot of chicken! My dogs just LOVE chicken, and they loved the Bil Jac dog food. They moved aside the little bit of food that was left in the dish just to get the Bil Jac food.



The only downside of the Bil Jac food is that it's expensive. The smallest size bag was over $17 at Petco. The prices ranged from $17 to about $50. Yikes! This is like a treat dog food for my dogs. I couldn't afford to buy this every week for my dogs. Maggie did eat less food than usual, but Lily ate more food than usual. I may buy this food again for my dogs, since they both do like it....BUT it would have to be on sale and I'd have to have a coupon.

Happy National Talk Like a Pirate Day!!!

Today is the day for you to talk like a pirate, matey.

Pirate Dinner Advernture pt 2...(photos)

I know it's taken me a while to finish this up. Things have been very nuts at my house lately...but that's another story for another time.
Every ship has to have some sort decoration in front....usually a naked lady and not a pirate though.

Well, after the actual dinner and pirate show, we were released back to the outer area for the after show festivities. This is when the pirates all come out to have their picture taken and a big dance party ensues. Now Angela noticed right away that the yellow pirate wasn't around, as he was the young and cute one. Bummer for her.
The pirates were a lot of fun to photograph and talk to.
These two cracked me right up.
Now Angela refused to pose for a photo with the pirates, though she was right next to me when I took the photos. Angela did talk to some of them. The two above were amazed how she could go up on her toes and hold it (a dance move she was practising for competition the next day), and they were asking her all kinds of dance questions. Of coarse she was showing them all kinds of dance tricks....
Well, the green pirate was listening in a bit....I didn't realize that right away.

I asked them to pose and not just stand there....lol Well, after this shot, the green pirate went over and picked up Angela. Boy was she suprised!!! It was so funny.

Once I got a couple of shots, the green pirate just passed her down the row to the other pirates.

The orange pirate tried dropping her.....she ended up holding him for dear life. It was difficult for me to take photos, as I was laughing so hard. Angela was SOOO embarassed, since all these people were staring at us.

We didn't stay around for the whole dance party, as we had to get up fairly early for the start of the dance competition.

The ship was all lighted up when we left....as were the palm trees.

Overall, this was a lot of fun to try once. I would love to go to some of the other dinner theaters... maybe the murder mystery one...or the Al Capone dinner.

Pirates Dinner Adventure......pt 1

Angela had dance Nationals in Orlando this past July. Well, I knew we wouldn't have time to go to any of the big parks, especially once the competition started, so when we arrived in Orlando early on Friday, I made arrangements to go to the Pirates Dinner Adventure.
This sounded like a lot of fun.....but my first annoyance came when I actually had to pay to park. I've been to Medieval Times and you don't pay to park there.

Ohhhh, pirate ships....cool. Too bad we couldn't get a photo on it.

When you first go in, they'll take your photo with a pirate.....Angela and I didn't do that. I did bring my camera in case I could get a few photos.

I never knew pirates had so many books....

Of coarse there is booty.....

It's quite dark inside the waiting area and the lights are turned down even more for the pre-show. Angela and I got a good laugh, because the magic tricks that were done were about the same ones our dancers do in our production number MAGIC.


Once the pre-show and appetizers were over, we were seated by section. Angela and I just knew what color we would be...RED....why? We're always red. LOL

I had discounted tickets, so I did opt for the upgrade. That was a mistake. It really didn't get us anything but the paper hats. Angela was suppose to be part of the show, but we got seated with another family with little kids and I guess they thought we were all together. All the other kids around us ended up doing different things thoughout the evening.


The pirates were all introduced to us my name and color. No, I don't remember the names at all, just the colors: Red, Blue, Green, Purple, Yellow, and Orange.

Our Red pirate came down so we could cheer for him.....as we did during all the little 'contests' the pirates had to find a new first mate.
The show was a lot of fun....most of the food was okay, except the soup. The soup was cold and nasty....neither Ang nor I could eat it. From the photos I saw on the web site, I thought it would be a little different then it was. Oh well.....Angela had a good time, so that was the important thing....

Please Help One of Our Dancers.....

One of my daughter's friends and fellow dancers is in the Disney Make Your Mark Dance Video contest. Ashley is 11 and such an amazing little dancer. If you have a chance, click the link and watch the 40 second video. Please vote and comment, as she needs all the votes and comments she can get. Last her mom wrote me "she is at 220 out of 28,000 for most liked of all time and she is at 660 out of 28,000 for most viewed!"
Voting and comments are both very easy....and I know most of us already have an account with Disney (I used my movie rewards acct).
