Cartoon Network’s Emmy-nominated Steven Universe revolves around Steven, the “little brother” to a team of magical aliens—the Crystal Gems—who defend the planet Earth. Steven is the son of the Crystal Gems’ late leader Rose Quartz and aging aspiring rockstar Mr. Universe. Steven belongs everywhere and nowhere: he has inherited his mother’s Gem and her magical powers, but also his father’s humanity and charm. The show is a slice-of-life action comedy that follows Steven as he attempts to bridge the gap between the sci-fi fantasy world of Gems and the cozy, funny, simple-yet-extraordinarily-com plicated world of human beings. Steven Universe is created by Emmy and Annie Award-nominated writer and New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Sugar, and produced by Cartoon Network Studios.

Steven Universe: The Heart of the Crystal Gems DVD episodes:
1. Now We’re Only Falling Apart
2. What’s Your Problem?
3. The Question
I don't know how many of my readers live near my part of this world. I live in a small tall right along the east coast of PA. And for the past week we have been getting hit pretty heavily with rain! Thankfully my family isn't in the area of Hershey where they had disastrous flooding, but we did get our fair share. We live right next to a creek and when the water gets high and fast enough it is pretty dangerous. I have been keeping my boys inside. Sadly that means a lot of pent up energy. So I turned our living room into a pretend camp site and we hunkered down for a tv/movie marathon!
One of the shows we watched was
