This week Kristin has been on spring break and sick, (we've all been sick), so it has been keeping me busy. Today she had a birthday party to attend and then we had to paint the Easter eggs tonight.

We did get two months of Showtime free recently and watched an episode of the Tudors. (It's a series about Henry the VIII). We liked it enough to download the whole first season and are now watching it. I realize the show is fiction, but the one thing that strikes out at me is that in all this time, cultures and customs may change but human interaction doesn't.

I want to get Nancy Drew on DVD so that Kristin can watch it in a few years. Has anybody seen it? I'd like to know if it's good.
She has the old animation of Horton Hears a Who and has watched that several times, I thought it might be fun to take her to see the new one soon.
She still watches Elmo for 'comfort' I think. She's gone on to SpongeBob, Fairly OddParents, Camp Lazlo and a few other cartoons, and when I talk with the kids at school, they tell me they've seen Pirates of the Caribbean or Spiderman, which I think might be a bit much for a kindergartener, but it gives me perspective. However, when she is in trouble, or wants to feel comforted for whatever reason, she wants me to put the Elmo videos in. I suppose it is the equivalent of another kid still sucking their thumb at this age.

My 6-year-old daughter loves the Nancy Drew movie. It's a bit teenagey in places, but nothing overtly so.
Heck, even my 9-year-old son likes it. I think he has a bit of a crush on Emma Roberts, who plays the title character.
If it gets your daughter interested in reading the Nancy Drew books, that would be great!
