I regret every day that has passed without me being in the Oscar fan club. I volunteer to be president:)

This reminds me of the old adage: Wood warms you three times – when you cut it, when you split it , when you burn it. Perhaps we should add when you stack it?

Oscar is SO great! In the last scene he reminded me of Alistair Cooke! These episodes really are getting better all the time (although I loved “Betty in Paris” so much that Oscar will have to settle for tying with his sister, as far as I’m concerned. :)

Hi Gabby,
I am now a memeber of the Oscar Fan Club. I have a suggestion that he may like, a story to tell, and an idea that may succeed. I was wondering if you would mind if I talked to him. I would like to talk to Oscar, either to his e-mail or on the telephone.

I am known to the Blair Family, Bob Blair was my prof. at BYU. I used Ben Blair in some assignments for my Education Major at BYU. I am the same age as Dell Blair, however; we have never been romantically linked, but I think he would recommend me as trustworthy and a good influence with children. He recommended Osccar’s Movie and gave me a link to your blog site. I think the Blair family would at least say they are aquainted with me.

Oh My Goodness! I nearly died of how wonderful Oscar was in this video!!!!! I certainly see the homage to Moonrise Kingdom. Simply too perfect!

The music is great! I wish I could take credit, but really, Tiger in a Jar heads our the music sourcing. They find the best stuff!

It was so hard not to laugh during filming!

Great question, Jordan. I take a moment and give a rundown on his whole outfit in case anyone else is curious.

-Boots are from Tea Collection.
-Jeans and Buffalo Check shirt are from Polarn O. Pyret. (You may have noticed them in earlier episodes.)
-Cardigan and Hat are from Z Collection — an affordable clothing line here in France.

Totally for real! Oscar is one tough kid.

Wow! What a beautiful place that must be to live. I assume winter there is tough?

For sure! We were totally hoping Oscar would channel the narrator’s vibe. I think he did a great job.

I think so too, Colleen! It appears we are getting better at making these videos. Practice works!

Oh my goodness! Love this!! Please tell her Betty would definitely talk to her (and would definitely want to go to Disneyland, too!).

We actually own a kid-sized podium (it’s back in Colorado in storage), and Oscar LOVES standing at it and “conducting” our family meetings.

We get the “mini Ben Blair” comment a lot. Makes me happy.

Fantastic, right?

We have no idea how Oscar even got the idea for the one-armed pushups. It was so random! And awesome!! We were actually having a filming break, when Julie from Tiger in a Jar looked over and noticed what was going on, and Matt quickly turned on the camera. Such a great capture!

Hah! Love this. If we ever start collecting praise for Olive Us to list on the website, I’m sure we’ll be quoting you. : )

I can’t describe how much I loved this for all the reasons that I do. Perfect delivery, Oscar! And, he didn’t have to lift a finger except to use them for his one-arm push-ups. Bravo!
