Handy Manny Big Race

You know we are Handy Manny fans at my house. We decorated Will’s room in a Handy Manny theme (if that doesn’t show dedication, I don’t know what does). That is why I was super excited to learn about the special Handy Manny show this Saturday (it’s on my birthday too!). For those who don’t watch Handy Manny, it was launched in 2006. The Disney’s Emmy-nominated animated series shares the adventures of Manny, a bilingual handyman, and his talking tools. Geared toward preschoolers, the show helps kids learn important lessons like problem solving and working together while introducing them to Latin culture and common Spanish words and phrases.

Well, the show on Saturday may be Handy Manny’s toughest one yet! Guest stars Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and Lance Bass join Wilmer Valderrama (the voice of Manny) and the rest of the “Handy Manny” gang as they prepare for the famed Wood Valley 500 race. Manny and the tools team up with Eliot to revamp his used race car, as race time approaches, Elliot’s nerves get the best of him. Famous racecar driver, Chase Davis (Earnhardt, Jr.) and Manny both jump in to help. You can see a sneak preview on YouTube!

I know we’ll be watching this on Saturday! The really cool thing is that we will be going to see Playhouse Disney Live that day and Handy Manny will be in it. This show will be a great encore for us!

I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Playhouse Disney. Mom Central sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.

Madison did a reading at church yesterday. This is a petition which is where we pray for others. I think she did a good job!

I saw this at the Housewares show. Take a guess what product was underneath it.

Cpl. Charles Aldieri(Ret.) & 1st Lt. Jack Jewell(Ret.)

Lt. Col. David Hurley, commander of Schweinfurt, Germany’s 15th Engineer Battalion, presents unit coins to two 9th Infantry Division World War II veterans — Charles Aldieri, a former corporal with the 746th Tank Battalion (shaking hands) and Jack Jewell, a former first lieutenant with Company B, 39th Infantry — during a March 8 ceremony honoring the division’s efforts in capturing the famed Remagen Bridge in the closing days of World War II. The commemoration took place in the Remagen Bridge and Peace Museum now housed in the remains of the span, which collapsed 10 days after its capture on March 7, 1945.

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.
We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived
