Barbie Diamond Castle

About three weeks ago Allison went to the video store with Craig and came back with Barbie The Diamond Castle.  After several viewings of it and listening to the song, "I feel Connected", Craig and I felt it was at best, one of the worst kids' video we had ever had to watch as adults.  Allison, however, was in love with it.  She walked around the house singing the songs and begged to watch the movie over and over and over.  Of course we had to return the movie after having it for 5 days and Allison was not happy about it.  However, luck would certainly turn her way.  That weekend we drove to Grand Haven and I was picking out some books to read Allison from the kid shelf at Craig's parents and I found, "Barbie Diamond Castle".  Of course grandma told her she could take it home and she was ecstatic!   Every night since then we have had to read about Alexa and Leona. Today Allison and Connor were "playing" Diamond Castle and Connor was the spy.  Although he doesn't know what he is doing, he does love to follow her around and do whatever she does.   She covers her mouth and yells, so he does the same.  She carries around her umbrella, so he gets his and follows.  Poor Connor has no idea what he has in store....8 girl cousins and two sisters!!!!  Thank goodness for Carson and Palmer.
