Make way for ducklings!

Emma's class has been raising ducks, and we had the opportunity to duck-sit over the weekend. It has been really fun, and the kids have had a blast! The challenge has been keeping Desi away from them, and keeping Evan from squishing them when he picks them up. He looooves them, and is eager to help feed and water them. Elsa is actually a little scared of them when they're all crowded up, wandering around the yard. Maybe too many of them at once? She's scared of little dogs, too. Go figure.
They are, I believe, mallards. The brown and yellow splotched ones are the males, and the grey ones are the females.


EVOC demo

On Friday Evan and I went to the CHP graduation. After the graduation ceremony, EVOC did a driving demo. It was Drew's first Demo and I was so nervous for him, but he was relaxed and did an awesome job! I didn't have the best vantage point for filming, but I got a few neat videos. Enjoy! Next time I will try to get a better spot.
If you scroll to the bottom of my page and pause the music, you will be able to hear the roar of the cars & helicopter!

Transporter 3

You all probably know that I have the hots for Jason Statham. Mmmmm....Jason Statham....sorry! Where was I? Oh, yes!
Anyway, Drew and I arranged for a quiet evening at home together to watch this kill-em-all action flick. Little did we know it would turn into a "chick flick" complete with cuddling and whispered promises. PUKE!
The best parts, of course, were the fight scenes. Of course he had to take his shirt off to kick ass poperly! But, even these scenes which are normally my fave, were irritating. 16 guys with machine guns and he dispatches them all? With no firepower of his own? And the chick in this one is especially annoying...wimpy, whiney, and useless and this is the one he picks to settle don with at the end? PUH-LEEESE!!
A quick review here, I know, and not very in-depth, but my advice is to fast forward to the fight scens where he is forced to disrobe, and then skip to the end credits.
