OH those are great!! You are so creative!!!!

They were actually quite easy to do. I took a hotdog bun and layed it on the plate open. I took round lunch meat (I used smoked turkey) folded it in half and than half again and put at bottom of bun. I took another piece of lunch meat and did it again and over layed on the first pice. I cut a piece of cheese into 4ths and used as the bodice. I put Mayo in a baggy and cut the corner to pip on to make the head and arms. I than used spary cheese for the hair. If you want to get real creative you can use Olive pieces for eyes and the mouth.

Thanks for the great comments, it makes me feel warm and gooyey inside.

Love the themed Disney nights. Just read about you guys over on the Big Give forum. Glad you are getting to go to WDW, and were picked for the Big Give by the Disboutiquers.

I have a Liam too. He is 12. His given name is also William, same as his Father, and his Father before him. There was no way I was going to have another Bill in the house, so I agreed to it, on the condition that we call him Liam.

I think it is so funny that Liam's keep popping up. When people ask me how to spell Liam, I tell them that it is the last 4 letters of William, so it is funny that you use Liam as the short form of William.

Here I was tring to original with my children's names. I have talked to parents of at least a dozen Liam's, there are 2 other Mia's on the Wish trippers board (though one is spelled Mya and my daughter is actually Ameliya) and it turns out that Aidan was the most popular boy name in 2007.

I guess you can't always win.

Still tring to come up with some THE Incredible's food ideas. I am open to any suggestions anyone has and why not let me be the ginny pig.

I totally stole the following (in quotes) from another website, but here's some SuperHero ideas for your Incredibles Movie Night. Speaking of grand theft, I'm honestly shameless. I want to steal your idea of a weekly movie night leading up to the Wish Trip for my own family. I'm trying to think of a unique twist that I could put on it so I'm not completely plagarizing your amazing idea! So far, no original thoughts have come to mind, LOL!

Consider these fun superhero foods

How about a "superhero sandwich?" Let each guest build their own (super) hero sandwich... Keep it simple and put fun superhero labels on everything.

Power Bread
More Power Mustard
Red Energy Sauce (ketchup
Power Pickles
Total Energy Turkey
Super-Sauce Mayo
Mr. Incredible Celery
Elastiwoman Cheese Slices
Raw Energy Raisins
Power Packed Carrot Sticks

Ok, now I did think of this super-duper creative idea all by myself. How about PowerAde for the drinks?

 

[MomTo4+more]

I love the Disney Theme Night ideas too. I totally copied your idea and started doing ours a few weeks ago. My kids are loving it, and we are rediscovering Disney movies they haven't watched in awhile. It's definitely a great idea!

My children say that the Incredibles ate mashed potatoes, meat, and peas for their family dinner in the movie. I was trying to think of a stretchy food for Elasta girl.

We are doing Mickey Mouse videos tonight with Mickey Pancakes and Donald Duck punch.

 

[maroo]

I am absolutely no help...because I have never seen the movie. But wanted you to know I am still here!

 

[MomTo4+more]

It's me again! My kids just said, ""Oooh, Ooh! Incredible cupcakes! Decorate a cupcake white and put a yellow i on it like the one for Incredibles!" They wanted to be sure you "heard" their idea.

Feel free to steal any of my ideas. It actually makes me feel kind of special that someone thinks enoguh of my ideas to copy them. And I'm a Leo so we like to be the center of attention.

I forgot about what the family ate for dinner that night. That's a cool idea. I love your Mickey Pancake and Donald Duck Punch idea. Can't wait to see some pics.

I am so glad that the kids chimed in on this one. Let them know that I heard them, love the idea, and am difinatly going to use it.

You haven't seen the incredibles. Girl, rectify this imidiatly.
Glad to see you are still here, hadn't seen you hear in a while and was wondering if you forgot about us. But not Maroo. She's everywhere.

 

[Sandy321]

I am not fully awake this morning to know if I put the picture in right...it is just the Incredibles logo...

What about Incredibles burgers...the burger can be the black background, the "i" can be mustard, and the kind of orange circle can be made of cheese.

What about "Frozone" milk shakes!

So yesterday I decided to start packing the kids cloths for our trip to Missouri this weekend. We leave Wednesday night and I don't want to leave it to the last minute and forget something. It was than that I relized that I don't have nice outfits for the boys to wear for our family picture my dad wants to take, so it's off to Walmart I go. Nothing there so I head off to Khols.

Suddely I get a call from my boyfriend, "You need to get home right now!"

Thinking the worse, such as Liam is coughing up blood, I ask, "Why? What's going on?"

"Aidan got into the stain and poured it all over his head."

Lets just say that the arm full of cloths in my hands went to the floor and I was in my car with in two minutes. Fortunatly it wasn't as bad as I feared. He didn't get any in his eyes or his mouth, and though there was some on his ear, it didn't go into the canal.

He cleaned up pretty well, his blond hair just has a slight red tint to it right now. I have to get it cut before we go anyway. (and yes, I had a long talk with the boyfriend about have dangerous stuff out that the kids could get into.)

So off I am back to the store, this time I am going to Burlington Coat factory and I had Aidan, just in case, to keep an eye on him. I was talking to my mom on the phone about what happened, got to the store, and walked into the store still talking on the phone. Suddenly I swore, hung up on my mom (sorry mom) and ran back to the car. I had totally forgot Aidan in the car. It had been less than a minute but I couldn't help but feel like the worst Mom ever.He was completly fine, and it was a very short time, but still I felt horrible that I did that.

 

[MomTo4+more]

Nope. You do not win the prize for being worst mom ever. You remembered him and hurried back for him. The worst mom ever would not have thought of him until much later.

Seriously, what a stressful day that sounds like. I can just picture what I would have imagined if I got a phone call that my little one had pured stain on herself. I could see her doing it too! She is into everything right now - especially if it is off limits.

So did you find the clothes you were looking for?

I spoke with Tiffany from Make-A-Wish today about our trip, and I mentioned these boards. She said she had just talked to another mom in IL who about it. I guessed it may have been you, and she said I was right. She is one of Deyki's wish granters!

Hope the rest of your day is not nearly as eventful as the start of it!

 

[Eeyores Butterfly]

I know it wasn't meant to be funny, but your post did make me chuckle a bit. Particularly the mental image of Aidan covered in stain. This will be something you all will laugh about one day, although it doesn't seem like it now!

I hope your trip to Missouri is amazing. I love our state (even if I jokingly call it Misery), but it looks like a wet week out where I am. Hopefully your week will have good weather.

I did find a couple of nice outfits for the boys. I also found a cute summer dress and a nice blue shirt for myself. I will hopefully be able to post a picture after we get the pics from the family shoot.

Aidan is the same way. He is into everything.

I was wondering about Tiffany. She was the one I talked to when our plane reservations were confirmed. She seemed very nice, but I just talked to her on the phone.

I am sure you are right. Even now looking back, with him being OK, it does seem to be a bit on the humorous side.

I hope the weather will be good to. We have a breakfast on Sat morning at the campgrounds with my uncle. I am also unsure if the hotels swimming pool is in doors or out. But even if the weather sucks, at least I get to see my family. It's a big on to. My dad was one of 7 kids.

 

[Matt1026]

Oh my what a day you had. Bless your heart. I hope you have a wonderful weekend away.

 

[Corrine 1973]

What day is it?
Why it's another
Disney Movie Fun Night
Tonights movie is
The Incredibles

Let me first tell everyone that all the ideas were great.
I would have loved to use all of them,
but well I would have a lot of left over food.
Unfortunalty I left the store forgeting the Powerade.

So we had Incredible burgers, and Power fries (steak fries.)

We finished the evening with one Incredible cake.

Next weeks movie is:
Aladdin

I will be gone all weekend so I wont have a lot of time to plan,
so please keep those ideas coming.​

 

[Eeyores Butterfly]

Cous Cous is a good mideastern dish that is insanely easy to make! When we ate at the Moroccan Pavilian (Morocco is where Aladdin is from) I noticed they used mint in a lot f their dishes. It was amazing. Taht could be fun if you want to go for more of an authentic feel.

Like I said cous cous is insanely easy. You literally boil the water, throw int he cous cous, and remove from heat, and cover. In 7 minutes it is done. It goes well with both savory and sweet so you can throw in just about anything. If you can, pull up a rug and eat on the floor for the more authentic feel.
