We have started a new tradition in our house, Friday Night Movie Night. It actually has sinister ulterior motives. To our girls it's a fun themed treat night. For Daddy and I, it is motivation to not spend money going out to eat, an excuse to sit down and secretly enjoy watching kids movies and a reward/incentive for the girls to be on their best all week. The hubby and I choose a movie of the week before I go to the grocery store so I can plan accordingly :) Our first choice was The Pirates movie.
Our girls have had this weird "boy-like" obsession with pirates because of their infatuation with Peter Pan. So, we figured a new pirates movie would be a good fit. I whipped up a pirate themed dinner to eat while we watched and the girls LOVED it. The plus was that it really was easy to make, wasn't expensive and our house was SILENT for 1 1/2 hours with stuffed mouths and zoned out movie PEACE :) Here was the menu...
~ Hot dog octopus: Just slice the bottom 3/4 of the hot dog into "tentacles"
~ Raman noodle ocean: Raman noodles (minus the rediculous sodium flavor pack) with blue food
coloring
~ Blueberry canonballs
~ Hard boiled egg pirates ship: Hard boiled egg cut in half. The sail is made out of a pretzel and
triangular shaped cheese slice
~ Ocean jello dessert: Blue jello with Swedish fish
This week is Wreck-it Ralph! Post and pics to come soon.
