Ashley got to choose the movie for today's Disney Movie Night and she decided to go with Beauty and the Beast. I love this movie -- a classic fairy tale which shows us that it isn't what is on the outside that matters, but it is what is on the inside that counts. This movie has always been a favorite of mine so I was very excited for today.
I make up invitations and tickets for each of our Disney Family Fun Days, but usually forget to take a picture of them....not today!
Last night Dianne and I spent some time creating some enchanted friends to welcome everyone to our Disney Family Fun Day -- we had so much fun.
We had Babette the Feather Duster French Maid. I found this idea on kimskandykreations.blogspot.com. She has so many cute ideas and provided the printables for a couple of our enchanted friends! Thanks!!
You can't have Lumiere without Cogsworth....again thank you to kimskandykreations.blogspot.com. I had to do some modifying to her Cogsworth since she had an actual clock to use for Cogsworth's head, but I think he turned out really cute!
We were also able to find Ashley's Chip cup from when she was a little girl -- I wonder how old this cup is?! He is still just a cute as the day we got him!
And finally we had the Enchanted Rose. Bruce was a great source of laughter when we were making this. Between not cutting the rose short enough, Melissa mistakenly cutting the line completely off the rose, and Bruce not quite getting the height right several, several (hahahaha) times, it is amazing how well this turned out. I love it!!
For our meal we decided that we were going to use some French phrases to say "Please", "Thank you", "Please pass the ____", "You're Welcome", and "Excuse Me". It was fun to try to incorporate the phrases into our meal, although we did forget a time or two and probably butchered the pronunciations terribly.
For our menu we really tried to stick close to the foods mentioned in "Be Our Guest" and had a delicious meal of:
Beef Ragout
Like I said it was delicious. Poor Ryan slept through our meal however. He had just returned home from his trip to Florida and was dealing with a terrible sunburn (blisters, swelling, peeling) so we let him sleep during the meal. When he woke up we made him a plate...
His poor face is peeling terribly!
After dinner we watched the movie. Reece was really into the movie and there were a couple of times when Reece, Jess, and Dianne jumped. We watched the extended version which included the song "Human Again" which I enjoyed. I'm not sure there is anything about this movie that I don't love!
Once the movie was over we made our "stained glass window" craft. I goofed up and forgot to bring the construction papers for the windows so we improvised and just made the "stained glass". It took a lot of crayon shavings (great way to get rid of old crayons), but was fun. Apparently I forgot to take pictures, but Dianne was still working on her project so I was at least able to get one.
Once our craft was done we made our dessert...Cogsworth Cupcakes. They were a lot of fun to make and were delicious
We had to kind of rush through making our Cogsworth Cupcakes because of the weather -- I can't believe that two weeks ago we were ushering in Spring with A Bug's Life and this weekend we are dealing with a winter storm. Come on Mother Nature -- we are sick of winter!!
We decided to do our next Disney Family Fun Day in two weeks since we are having so much fun with them and the weather isn't really cooperating to do anything else. Chris had the pleasure of choosing the movie for next time and he decided on Pirates of the Caribbean! I can't wait to get started on the planning!
Until next time remember "It all started with a mouse"!
