Frank Arrigo: FamilyStuff about my familyBarnyard : Boy Cows with Udders- October 16, 2006 I took the little ones to see Barnyard this weekend - I am a sucker for talking animal movies. What amused me was seeing the male 'cows' with udders. Now, when I went to school, cows were female cattle, and Bulls or Steers were male - but this movie takes us into a relm of an alternate reality where cows can be male and female and the males have udders too. (which, since the animals talk it must be an alternate reality, so I guess boy cows can have udders) Despite that, the movie was amusing...http://radio.weblogs.com/0124955/categories/family/2006/10/15.html#a1417 The Ant Bully IMAX 3D Experience.- October 15, 2006 We ventured to the city to see The Ant Bully IMAX 3D Experience.

Today (Wednesday), I took Billy to see Nacho Libre (after his failed attempt a few weeks back). It was the Cinebuzz Club movie of the week, so we got a discount too! Funny movie. The trailers for upcoming movies looked interesting too, especially Flushed Away, the next movie from Aardman. Once we got home, Moira had a couple of IKEA purchases which we need to build. I think I am going to outsource to Billyhttp://radio.weblogs.com/0124955/categories/family/2006/10/04.html#a1407 Labour Day- October 2, 2006 Today is a public holiday in NSW - Labour Day.

He has been wanting to see Stormbreaker for weeks, especially after I got him the Stormbreaker graphic novel None of the other kids wanted to see the movie, so it turned out to be a cheap afternoon out. So, how was the movie Bricey liked it. His favourite scene was when a security guard got "kicked in the goolies" (his words).http://radio.weblogs.com/0124955/categories/family/2006/10/01.html#a1402 |
