The Drama Queen is our 11 year old middle child born July 22nd, 2000,  and is currently in the 6th grade. She is OVERLY dramatic, hence the name and definitely keeps us all entertained.

The Drama Queen has a love for the arts and crafts, soccer, and science.
She is definitely not your average 11 year old girl.
Someday’s she is girly but most days she doesn’t have a care in the world.

She likes to drive everyone in the house insane but we all love her just the same.

The Drama Queen also enjoys reading, creative writing, animals, and loves her Granny more than life itself!

She was also lucky enough to attend the Crayola Pop Art Pixies Premiere Party in New York City in November 2010 with her mom by her side!

The big portion of Zman and Drama Queen’s Summer activities came to an end last week.
Both baseball and soccer are over and we are back to a normal routine around here….for now.

On June 15th, Air Bud: World Pup: Special Edition was released on DVD by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment.

This movie is another great film from Disney in which Buddy, the ball playing dog, meets Molly, falls in love, has puppies all while helping Josh, his owner, win the state soccer championship.

Here’s a little peek at the film:

The kids and I really enjoyed watching this movie as we do the other Air Bud flicks as well.  Some of the areas we really enjoyed, aside from the FREE sports bag that came with the film were, The Buddies Sports Channel and watching instant replays.  The movie also includes a behind the scenes look at the making of Air Bud World Pup that my kids found very interesting.

If you’re a fan of Air Bud and all his antics, I recommend adding this video to your collection.

Would somebody please tell me how it can possibly be June 1st?

It can’t be!

How did the last 5 months go by so fast?

My kids only have 7.5 days left of school. A full week this week and full days Monday & Tuesday next week followed by a 1/2 day on Wednesday.

Then they get a week off and off to summer school they go.

I let them take fun things in summer school.

Zman is in Ceramics & Cookies, Cookies, Cookies.

The Drama Queen is in Computer Creations & Amazing Science Experiments.

Should be a fun Summer.

I think we are also going to be enrolling the Drama Queen in Kids Camp @ Comedy City this year. (Grandma & Grandpa have generously offered to cover the cost!) It’s pretty cool!  She LOVES Comedy City! It’s a short camp—just 4 days.  In that time her and the other ‘campers’ will learn the art and skills of improvisation-things like teamwork, communication, stage presence and confidence.  The week ends with the ‘campers’ putting on a show for family and friends.

Other than that, our Summer Schedule kicks of this week!  Soccer and baseball are now both 2 nights a week and pretty much @ the same time on the same nights.  There are a few games when they are not playing at the same time, but things are going to get hectic starting Tuesday.  We have to be @ the soccer fields @ 6:30 for pictures and then the Drama Queen plays @ 7.  At another park about a mile down the road, Zman will be playing in his baseball game. This is going to happen every Tuesday & Thursday—baseball until July 14th, Soccer until July 21st!

So—back to this week.

Did I mention the Drama Queen also has 2 field trips this week?  One on Tuesday, the other on Friday.

I think that once this week is over and I’m done running errands and grocery shopping on Friday—I’m calling it quits for the weekend.  (Except that we are busy on Sunday——Grrrrrrr……….)
