Antonio Meets His Match ~DVD Review~

DVD Description
A rude foreigner moves into the garden, testing Antonio's patience.

Antonio should probably be called “Brave Ant”, for the heroic way he leads his Army Ants in defending the garden from, say, Big Bully Croaker. But when some foreign ants move into the garden, their strange ways challenge Antonio to use something other than physical strength and military experience to solve a problem. Featuring Tim Conway as Hermie and special guest-star Fred Willard (“Wall-E”, “Kim Possible”, “Chicken Little”, etc) and includes the original song “How Could Anyone Not Love Me” and the cartoon short "Caterpilla" (a spoof of Cinderella). Lesson is based on Luke 10:27 "Love your neighbor as you love yourself." (ICB)

My thoughts:
This is the 14 episode in a popular series Hermie & Friends by Max Lucados. Sad to say that this is the first one that I have seen. My eight year old had no interest in watching this movie. I guess that Ants and Caterpillers on the DVD case did not interest him, or he hadn't seen this advertised on TV. I think that this movie and series is geared more towards younger children and is very popular among preschool aged children. I watched this so I could write an honest review. I think that this movie has a great lesson to be learned. It's not easy to Love your Neighbors, especially when they are annoying. Also the lesson taught is that Your Neighbor is not just the person living next to you, but everyone you know and meet including people living in different countries. I liked the bonus features included in this, the Trivia Game/Quiz is a great way to see if the children followed along and caught on to the lesson. Also, the Sing-along and coloring pages I think are a hit for the kids. This is a great DVD to watch in a Religous Program and a fun way for the kids to learn important bible lessons. I would recommend this to the younger children as a fun and easy way of learning their faith.

Not me Monday

I am not behind on any of my work... Not me!!! My house is completely Spotless and I have nothing to do. Welcome to a Mom's World!!!

Busy Weekend

If you've stopped by this weekend, You noticed I wasn't found!!!
I had such a busy weekend. After being snowed in for two days, I was out and about.
I had a busy Saturday and thought today I would catch up on my reading and get some other things done. Well, I had a headache and lied on the couch... That was all she wrote.... So, I was waken to my husband calling to come pick him up that he had broken something on his truck and needed me to run him to get parts and...
- that took up way more time then I thought and there went the day. I did not get anything done. So, I guess I'll try tomorrow.

Friday Follow

Friday- Yeah!!! The kids are home again today. We had another Snow Day. This is the second day in a row. This makes for a nice long weekend. Too Bad--We are Snowed In!!!This storm didn't seem to miss us this time:( We got it and Good. I'm not postive of the snow totals yet. My husband's out plowing and has been since yesterday morning. He got a break last night but since his last plowing some of his driveways had gotten 18 inches and that doesn't count the other snow that came yesterday morning and all day.
Thanks for stopping by to visit and I will return the favor. It just may take me a bit. I'm Happy that we didn't loose our power. Some towns around us are without electricity and that make things alot harder escpecially in this cold weather.
I'm also lucky, I didn't have plans to go anywheres this morning. My Mom couldn't make it to work today, as she had a problem getting out. The Snow plow hadn't been down our road until 8:15am and she usually is at work before 7am and thats after driving a 1/2 hour to work in good weather. Well, at least she's home safe and warm :) I may try to get out alittle bit later to get some groceries and stuff. We'll see how long it takes me to shovel the porch and stairs off. Have a great weekend!!!

AThousand Words Thursday

On Word:Snow!!!!

No More pictures... Enough is Enough...
This winter has been an odd one for Us. I live in the snowbelt area and I'm used to snow. We have been lucky and missed a few of these winter storms. We've had the most snow between Christmas and New Year's and I was happy because our Florida Family came here to play in the Snow during the Holidays. (And my husband made money plowing for nine days straight) Now, its February and Today's only my children's Second Snow Day off from school. And we are getting this storm. We've already gotten 10 inches of new snow since this morning and We are suppose to get the worst this late afternoon evening with 1-3 inches an hour. Our total snow accumulations for today into tomorrow are suppose to be around 10-18 inches PLUS.... They say plus because we haven't even gotten the storm yet... The weather men are warning us of Power Outages and more Snow!!! This is heavy wet snow... I feel bad for my husband -he's been out plowing since 5am this morning and he told me not to expect him until this is over. Let's just hope we don't lose our power and this storm passes by quickly. Who's looking forward to Spring?
