Shrek 3 by karate girl

Ms. Sheila and karate girl went to see Shrek 3 yesterday. I rode in Ms. Sheila's convertible Miata. I liked riding in her car, but we were scared because it said check engine so we went back to her house and called her husband, Mr. Lee. He said it was fine to drive so we went to the movies.

We went to see Shrek 3. In the movie, Fiona had 3 children, 2 boys and 1 girl. She also had 4 friends. There names were Cinderella, "Cindy", Snow White, ugly stepsister, and Repunzel. Repunzel betrayed Fiona for Prince Charming. I liked the movie and it was funny. If I had to choose the best Shrek movie, I would choose Shrek 3 as the best movie. Shrek 1 would be my 2nd choice.

After the movie, we went to Paris Mountain. We drove around and we saw a dry water fall. I showed Ms. Sheila where my tutor lives and then we went to Ms. Sheila's house. I fed Ms. Sheila's plants with the water hose, which had a feeder on it.

Then my mom and dad came over to Ms. Sheila's house. We had a cookout. We had hamburgers and brats. I ate a brat. Yuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!! After dinner, we played Cranium the family version. The adults played the adult game last and we got home at 12:00am. I was so tired that I feel asleep in the car. It felt like we had been on a trip.

Mom written by mom

Hi, I am Jessica's mom. We are doing this blog together. I am very fortunate to have a great family. My husband and I will be married for 20 years on May 23, 2007. We met in college at Western Carollina University. I was a sophomore and he was a freshman. We didn't really start dating until the next year and since then we have been together (23 years!!!) Raymond is easy going and makes me laugh a lot. He is also my rock and when everything is crazy, he is the one that cheers me up. Jessica is a wonderful daughter. We are very busy with her school and karate, which is a great confidence booster. We love her teacher this year, but we are ready for school to end and summer break.

I am the controller of the company I work for and have a unique situation of working from my home office. I have been with the same company for almost 10 years. We are like a family and it is a great place to work.

We love to travel. Jessica likes places with lots of action. Our favorite place is Disneyworld, but we love Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, VA too. We are going this summer and are looking forward to it. Jessica will blog about our trip and her favorite rides.

Foods written by karate girl

My favorite foods are pizzas, hot dogs, spaghetti and my mom's lasagna. My favorite restaurants are Dawgs on Pelham and Chop House 47. I also like to go to Chic-A-Fila and Acropolis. The food I like the least is lima beans. I don't like them because they taste nasty. The texture inside of them are mushy.

At my house, we watch a lot of Food Network Channel and it makes me hungry. I prefer $40 A Day with Rachael Ray, Paula Deen and Giada on Everyday Italian. My dad likes Emeril. My mom likes Rachael Ray and Paula Deen too especially Paula's Party. We love Food Network.

In March we met my Nana and Papa Allen in Savannah, GA and ate at Paula Deen's restaurant called The Lady and Sons. I ate fried chicken, rice and sweet potatoes. It was delicious. My dad had to wait in line for 2 1/2 hours to make reservations. I can't wait to go back.
