Look how cute he is, I know I always tell Jack that he is soooo cute, but I think Stanley has him beat when it comes to absolute cuteness. Jack is still the cutest in the way he carries himself and all of his character quirks, but I won’t tell him that Stanley makes us all go awww because he won’t like it. 

The entire family has been carrying Stanley around like a baby because we all know that this isn’t going to last, not for long. Each day, as we pick him up, one of us exclaims “he’s heavier today than yesterday”. Stanley is already taller than Jack and it has only been two weeks. We got Stanley the 3rd and today is the 20th, he is growing by at least a leap, if not, almost a bound.

Stanley is starrting to learn some tricks from Jack and Lulu and it is of course adorable.

Puppyhood is always an adventure, no matter who, where, why or how you look at it; everything gets impacted, your sleep, the other dogs, your house, your yard and the puppy itself. It keeps life entertaining that is most definite.

Now You See Me: a movie review

I know that I love all movies but this one is seriously a must see movie. It is so well acted, well directed and it is one of the smartest movies that my hubby and I have seen in a long time. The cast is made up of very good actors and some excellent actors: Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine are of course the excellent ones in my book and then the very good ones: Jesse Eisenberg, Isla Fisher, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson and a lovely French actress Melanie Laurent.

I can’t go into specifics because to do so at any point might give something away, but the entire concept of magic is at play throughout the movie and at every turn, you wonder is he in on it, or is she in on it. Where is the misdirection, which is the real trick and which is the illusion? Who is the bad guy, is there a bad guy? It was such a clever who dun it, but without the stress, more like a constant trying to figure out who is behind the magic curtain.

I highly recommend the movie, it will keep you intrigued until the very end. I can’t guarantee your money back however if it doesn’t please you, I’ll just feel bad for steering you wrong. But I am fairly sure that you won’t be disappointed.
