dsnycrzy - can you tell me where you got those pacman things? Are they candy? DS and DD are having a Wreck It Ralph themed b-day party and those would be great. Thanks!

Sure, the PAC-MAN video game tins have those PAC-MAN candies inside. They are similar to those smarties candys like in the little rolls of pastel colors. I bought them near the checkout at Bed Bath & Beyond for $3.49 then went next door to 5 & Below and they were there as well but for $3.

I forgot to take a pic of our Brave dinner menu and I now I can't rememeber the special names for all the food but from the picture you should get the idea. I think we called the burgers "Angus Burgers", we had witches brew to drink.

I had fun making a "wisp" using a peanut jar, fake grass, a battery tealight candle, and printed out a wisp on vellum paper. If you google "how to make a wisp" there are some good "how to" guides out there. It's a fun activity and looks cute on the table.

The kids had fun decorating these "goblets" that we got from the dollar strore. They used stickers of crowns and jewels to decorate.

So we attempted to make Bears on a stick. It's a very cute idea but our bears ears, eyes, and everything else kept sliding off. Oh well! They tasted all the same. We also bought the little cookies with jam in the middle and just added some frosting and a cherry to mimic the "Empire Biscuits" from the movie.

Next up is Finding Nemo

Angus burgers! I love it! The bears on a stick are still really cute!

Hi All!!!
We started our annual Disney Movie Nights on Thursday...which was fitting because I believe at that point we were exactley 3 months away from our first stay at the Beach Club!! I am so excited because that is my dream resort, always wanted to stay there for the pool and for walking distance to Epcot, which is our favorite park.

So my character crew includes ME, I'm Jaclyn , I have been a Disney Lover forever!!! My husband, Scott, who I have converted INTO a Disney Lover (well, not really, but he can tolerate my love for all things Disney), and our daughter, Alanna who is 8. Sadly, I was never able to make my daughter a princessy gal, but she is a true lover of Pixar and I guess that's the next best thing . It is still yet to be decided if our Aunt and Uncle and their 3 boys (who are 11,9,and 5) are going, as well as my parents and my sister.

So, at the beginning of the week I threw a dozen or so Disney and Pixar movies into my seashell tube box, a combo of our favorites and some rarely seen ones. Alanna picked out of the box and to start our movie night adventure off, she picked Aladdin...awesome because she doesn't really remember that one and it's one of Scott's favorites...so here we go .

Our Menu included:


We decided to watch the movie down in the rec room and eat while the movie was on. So I decorated our coffee table with a gold table cloth from dollar tree and threw some jewels from "the cave of wonders" on it.

We had to rent this one from the library because I only have it on tape lol.
My husband is always a good sport with this kinda stuff, here he is modeling his raja hat.

Alanna had to get in on the fun too!

Our "Kefta" Sandwiches (when I looked up the description it sounded like a sloppy joe...I have no idea what it really is, but it sounded close lol, so we had Pioneer Woman's sloppy joes baked in Pillsbury biscuits)

Abu's Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins....which were delish!

Our craft for the evening was Make Your Own Genie Lamp, Alanna just colored her own lamp, we glued Genie on, decorated with some jewels, then I had her write 3 wishes on the top. A fun, easy activity that she enjoyed!

At the end we picked our next Disney movie from the box, which is.....

HERCULES!!!!!!!! Awesome, because neither she nor Scott have seen this one.

When I was at Dollar Tree I also thought of some other cute craft ideas for Aladdin but I just didn't have the time or resources to execute it. Make your own Menagerie for Jasmine. Dollar tree had those craft birds 2 in package, if you had a bird cage or something or got a cheap one from Michaels this could be doable. Make your own Cave of Wonders, dollar tree had all those jewels you could put on some construction papers and glitter glue. Or make Jasmine a tiara using those jewels.

So we'll see ya's all next week for Hercules, hopefully we will do it on Thursday night because my husband is off. Happy Planning everyone!!!

Thanks, I tried to use it on my phone, but my iphone is so old (even though its really only 2 years old) that the app won't load. So I had to e-mail them to myself and then load them on the regular photobucket site.

I think its time for an iphone upgrade.

Since the Hubs was off today we decided to continue with our movie nights. Tonight was a viewing of Hercules and we are currently 85 long days away from our Disney Vacation!


Here was our YUMMY menu! I am still pretty stuffed! But it was fairly healthy. I was going to try and do Greek food, but everything I was looking at called for Greek Yogurt somewhere in the recipe, and I have a thing against greek yogurt, to me it always tastes sour. IDK why....but...so we went with other ideas.






Originally I was planning on doing a frisbee toss as an "Olympic Game" but my allergies got the best of me and I didn't think I would be able to handle the pollen, and it was supposed to rain at some point in the day. So instead, we made our own Greek Gods/Goddesses


We have Alannus Goddess of Learning, Aquatica Goddess of the Ocean, and Scottacus....when I asked him what he was God of...he said God of the Gods (go figure!).

Then we had our desserts
Phils Fruit Salad


Zero to Hero Pudding Pie!


and Gold Medal Cookies!


Overall it went well, wasn't a favorite of Alanna's, but Scott enjoyed it. I figured he would, he is into all that gladiator type stuff. Alanna picked out our next movie to celebrate and she drew from the shell box....

THE MUPPETS!!!
