2) Save the video file to somewhere on your computer (Desktop, My Documents, etc.)
3) Go to where you saved the file and play it from your computer.
4) While it is playing, right-click on the video and choose “Video Size -> 200%” to enlarge.
After a brief episode of stage fright, I was ready to take the stage and do my stuff for the fans. We started off with a Christmas rendition of “Wheels On the Bus”. Then, we went right in to “If You’re Happy and You Know It” with a few special Holiday verses at the end. For our encore, we performed “Where Is Thumbkin”, but our fingers were Mary and Joseph. I got so excited during my performance that I ended up running around all over the stage and really playing to the crowd.
All in all, I’d say that my first program went pretty smoothly and that everyone got a big kick out of the performance. There are a few pictures from the show, and come back soon for some video clips!
Wow! December 10th was a day to remember! I woke up to an early bird appearance of Ganny and Poppa! Poppa and I had some quick play time in my princess tent, then off to Bob Evans for M and M pancakes! Mommy and Daddy must have forgotten to tell me they exist! After a fast face wash (M and M’s tend to melt ON your mouth!!),then home again to greet Mada and Pada. Off we went in a big van to someplace called Bloomington! We sang songs, read books to Mada, played horsie and watched movies on the way. These big people wear me out with having to entertain them so much, so I caught a quick nap in the van.(I think Pada did, too!) Next we went to a BIG building to see Jeff, Vanessa,and some little pink bundle that everyone was squeaking and crying about! I looked at the bundle and realized Ganny was holding a baby! Welcome to the world,Mariana! I can’t wait until you are big enough to play with! It will be fun to be your BIG cousin! I flirted with Uncle Ed at lunch, then a long ride home again with several verses of Jingle Bells being sung! Pada kept saying he got the best birthday present ever, Baby Mariana! Happy Birthday to you both! Will I get some cake?
Daddy has a kidney stone and is sick in his tummy. He had to go to the hospital, but I don’t think that he got to read the Elmo books that I get to read at the doctor’s office. Because Mommy was there taking care of him, Ganny came to pick me up from school today! I was excited to show her around my room and introduce her to all of my friends in my room. Plus, on the way home, I talked her in to stopping in to see Pun Ba (Sponge Bob) and get some fries.
Get better soon Daddy!
Sorry about the issues lately. Daddy promises me that it isn’t his fault and that our cable modem keeps changing addresses. To me, it looks like the same one that has been here the whole time, but what do I know.
Anyway, this weekend was rockin’. I went up to stay with Mema, Pepa, and TC on Saturday. Mommy and Daddy left, but it wasn’t just for a night on the town, I got to stay overnight! We went to Menards and Mema and I wandered around for a couple of hours while TC and Pepa looked at stuff for the basement. Then, they asked me if I wanted pizza, and I was back in the game! We went to Pizza King, and it was awesome. There were stars in the ceiling and they had a train that came through the tunnel. Just in case he didn’t see it, I told TC stories about it for the next couple of hours.
I slept really well and woke Mema and Pepa up bright and early for cartoons. Then, we had some tasty donuts and chocolate milk. Mommy and Daddy rolled back in to town at about 11 and scooped me up for a quick visit to Papa for lunch, a failed attempt at a nap, and then some shopping. We hit Meijer, then Mommy had to stop at the bookstore. We dropped her off and I was snoring before she got in the door…it had been a really busy weekend.
Thanks a lot to Mema, Pepa, and TC for letting me crash at your pad for the night while Mommy and Daddy partied on the town!
