Disney Family Movie Night: Pocahontas

For our Disney movie night right after Thanksgiving we watched Pocahontas. Abi had never seen it before so it was a fun new experience. She thought it was funny that I knew all the songs so well so I had to admit to her and Doug that I used to love this movie so much back when it first came out that I owned the soundtrack. Yep, I was that teenager rocking out to Pocahontas music.

Unfortunately, I realized afterward that I didn't take a single picture during our family movie night! So, you'll just have to use your imagination.

We had leftovers from Thanksgiving for dinner and Abi colored in a sticker book.

I did get this funny video beforehand....

Good Mail

This was SO unexpected. We recieved a package from Brent and Karen on Monday. It was so wonderful. There was a dance video for me that she doesn't use as much which Abi and I then did together .. it was pretty fun and a good workout. Then she included gifts for the girls. For Maddy was a cute new outfit and a rattle frog toy and for Abi was a new shirt, crayons, a coloring book, and some hershey kisses in a sheep egg. Abi was so excited. She immediately tried on her shirt (she had been pretending to be Princess Aurora all morning so it was perfect timing to get a pink shirt) and colored. Thanks guys. That was so much fun and so nice of you!

Princess school day fifteen

This was Monday. We played out in the snow for awhile and then Abi got a bath so school was held late. While I got dinner ready she was making this princess headdress. The table was a mess because she was painting glue on and then ripping up tissue paper to put on it. I will show the finished product later.

princess school days thirteen and fourteen

On day thirteen we made caterpillers...

On day fourteen we made butterfly cupcakes. These were really fun and easy.. it was a small batch of six.. and very tasty.

Princess school day twelve and pancakes

Abi made some cute fairy puppets and we made up a puppet show to show Daddy that night. This was the night I posted about the other day when we were "making her drive nuts!"

Saturday morning I always make pancakes. That morning she requested Minnie Mouse pancakes. She wanted her to have a polka dotted bow.. this was the best I could do.

Cabin Fever solutions

Last week cabin fever was hitting us bad so I asked Abi what she wanted to do. She decided she wanted to go down to the mall that has a carousel. We had to stop in at the disney store while there. We were having so much fun looking at all the cute things. She had brought her piggy bank money and was able to get a pair of Tinkerbell sunglasses for 97 cents. While I was talking to the saleslady Abi went around a corner and when she came back she looked like this...
She loved that Minnie dress. I may have to get one someday because I thought she looked so cute.

She decided she wanted to ride the bunny when we got to the carousel.
We then stopped in at the hunting/fishing store (shocker I know) to watch the fish swimming around. As we left Abi was asking me if this bear was real. I told her it used to be. That confused her. This was followed by a talk about why animals get stuffed and how some people hunt animals. I think in hindsight it was an unnecessary conversation.. but she is my kid so she'll hear my opinions on it eventually.. might as well start now.
When we got home she decided to try the sunglasses on Maddy. I thought it was funny that they were upside down because Abi usually wears them the right way on herself now.
