New on DVD: Shaun the Sheep – Review and Giveaway

November 24, 2015 by Wendy S

seal-blogShaun The Sheep Movie DVD CoverSHAUN THE SHEEP: THE MOVIE is based on the well-known TV series, had fantastic reviews, is currently rated 99% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and is loved by both parents and kids alike.  Common Sense Media rates it “Great for Families“!
 
When Shaun decides to take the day off and have some fun, he gets a little more action than he bargained for. A mix up with the Farmer, a caravan and a very steep hill lead them all to the Big City and it’s up to Shaun and the flock to return everyone safely to the green grass of home.
 

It’s amazing how much fun this is to watch…even with no human dialog! And to imagine all the time it took to create this stop-motion movie is mind blowing!  We had so many laughs.

Shaun the Sheep Movie is available on DVD as of today, November 24th!  And you can win a copy!

[not so] Wordless Wednesday: TaeKwonDo

September 15, 2015 by Wendy S

Yesterday I got to watch something pretty spectacular. The girls went to a trial TaeKwonDo class. And Craig couldn’t have been more proud!

Up until now, most of the activities that the girls have done were influenced by me… Guides, swimming, choir.  All activities that I had done as a kid and enjoyed doing so wanted the girls to do.  

Yesterday, they tried something that Craig enjoyed doing as a kid…and they loved it too!
