Baby sitting Doc for Super 8

This weekend we baby sat my parents dog so that they could go to the Premier of Super 8. More on that in a minute.
Anyway-my Grandma made Doc a blanket out of some left over yarn she had. Hilda would not let Doc have it. He moped around all weekend because anytime he was laying on his blanket Hilda would walk over and stare at him until he would get up and leave. She loved that blanket so much. I guess I'm going to have to ask Grandma to make Hilda one too. Doc wouldn't stay out of Hilda's food. She would sit there and watch him eat it. I guess she figured it was a fair trade.

So, about Super 8. Have you seen this movie yet. I hear it is really good. It's intense, funny and scary all in one. I have not seen it yet but I will be taking my kids as soon as we get some free time.
We know some kids who are in this movie. They are actually relations in a round-about-way. (that's my claim to fame) My Parents went to the premier and the red carpet party for Riley Griffiths. His brother Jade is also in the movie but I think he has a little smaller part. They actually play brothers in the movie, kinda funny. Anyway Riley and Jade signed their autographs for Britton and Shayna. The kids were so excited about it and can't wait to see Riley at the condo again some day. But first we really need to see the movie.



Riley just turned fourteen and had to put thirty pounds on for his part in the movie. How crazy is that? He's lost it all now and doesn't even look like the same kid. He was on Conan last night and I was amazed at how personable he was. I was not like that at fourteen, no way would I have been able to sit up there and speak so well for myself.

Anyway, go see the movie. I can't wait!
