The wonderful thing about tiggers
Is tiggers are wonderful things
Their tops are made out of rubber
Their bottoms are made out of springs
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy fun, fun, fun, fun, fun
But the most wonderful thing about tiggers is I'm the only one
IIIII'm the only one!
Yes, today was all about T I double guh err ! Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! The strange-looking creature with those beady little eyes, and that "purrposterous" chin, and those "rickydickorous" striped py-jamas!!
In 1997 when Alex was just two years old and Ariana only one, Poohs Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin came out. It was instantly a favorite of both Alex and Arianas and has been watched many, many times in our household. Demetri loves it now too and one of his very favorite characters has always been Tigger.
So shocked as I was at Demetris movie choice for tonight, I guess I shouldnt have been too surprised that he chose
.
Tiggers are cuddly fellas
Tiggers are awfully sweet
Everyone el-es is jealous
That's why I repeat and repeat
The wonderful thing about tiggers
Is tiggers are marvellous chaps
They're loaded with vim and with vigor
They love to leap in your laps
They're jumpy, bumpy, clumpy, pumpy fun, fun, fun, fun, fun
But the most wonderful thing about tiggers is I'm the only one
I'm the only one!
Originally movie night was being bumped to Wednesday this week so I was planning a treat surprise to make up for it, but in the end we kept it on Tuesday. By then, I wanted the surprise too so we did it anyway!
Seeing as how I was making the rules,

I decided to do things a bit differently tonite and we had our treats first
. and then dinner while watching the movie.
So on this last day of summer, when I got home from work, the kids piled into the van and off we went to
Baskin Robbins for ice cream!!
They had ice cream cake displays right as you walked in the door and the kids wanted pictures. Heres a very appropriate cake for the nights festivities
.
..and a not so appropriately themed one.
I then took Ariana around the store and ran thru all thirty-one flavors they had to choose from. She decided on Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough with crumbled Smarties on top. Alex chose Mint Chocolate Chip with chunks of Reeses peanut butter cups on top. Demetri and I both chose Quarterback Crunch which is vanilla ice cream with chocolate covered rice krispies with a caramel ribbon throughout. I opted for no topping while Demetri went with a gummy bear one.
We ate our treats in the store and then picked up a pizza on the way home to share while watching the movie.
Yum!
At fifteen, the Tigger Movie wasnt exactly riveting movie material for Alex, but he was a good sport about it. Ariana loves all the action the movie has and frequently did her dance, or bouncing dance as it were, of joy.
After Tiggers last T-T-F-N! Ta-ta for now! it was time to take another LGMH and link segment down!
We still have all the sections and Ariana added this latest one to our fridge.
Good night everyone
. and watch out for any jagulars, heffalumps or woozles!!
