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!

 

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!
