y story toy story is one of my favorite disney pixar movies and it s a classic in my book i remember being amazed by how fluid and life like the images were and i m a huge tom hanks fan too anyway we had such a fun night with this theme here s what we did to set the tone i printed out some posters from here and here and i arrange various books and toys around the room we happen to have a mr potato head some green army men an etch a sketch and a barrel of monkeys on hand we also had the soundtrack to toy story the 1st playing in the background we prepared dinner together here s what was on our menu make your own planet pizza i bought mini biboli crusts and set out a variety of toppings for us to make our own pizzas james loved this and said finally i can make my pizza the way i like it which meant adding about 100 pepperonis to his pie mommy vetoed 95 of them lotso s strawberry salad this one is a family favorite baby arugula blue cheese candied pecans and strawberries topped with balsamic vinegar dressing y u m galatic goo this was our dessert it was purple grape jello with star sprinkles on top ridiculously easy to make and a huge hit with james alien juice this was our beverage crystal lite lemonade made with sparkling water and a few drops of green food coloring to give it that alien color while the pizzas were baking we played a few games james received a toy story memory game as a birthday present so we played a short round of that as well as a few turns of find the moon rocks for that game i placed a chocolate hershey s kiss inside a small piece of tin foil and then gently crumpled it up to resemble a moon rock i hid these around the house and james went in search of them i also created an activity with the etch a sketch where we all took turns trying to make certain shapes james and his dad also made chains out of the monkeys from our barrel of monkeys i also put together this little guessing game guess how many army men are in the jar james took one look and no joke guessed the correct number within 1 even my sweet hubs was off by 5 our favorite game was the claw game i assembled a mystery bag full of mr potato head parts and created a checklist to go along with it james had to reach his claw inside the bag and without looking guess which piece he was holding he checked off the pieces as he went along and afterwards created a finished mr potato head let me know if you re interested in the printable i made for this game i m happy to share it we didn t use these resources but i ran across them while planning this night i thought maybe some of you might like to use them toy story pre k pack toy store fun book and of course there are tons of ideas on pinterest and disboards at the end of each disney night james randomly selects the next theme from a basket coming up 101 dalmatians awesome movie tickets from here click here to see our other disney nights more to come thank you for your comments posted by counting coconuts at 7 30 am 7 comments labels disney disney family night special moments friday july 27 2012 planetbox review giveaway this giveaway is closed i m positive most of you have heard of planetbox but for those who haven t get ready to learn about a truly awesome resource that s great for everyone to quote planetbox s website planetbox is lunch transportation for a green generation i just love that i would have been tickled pink to have a lunch box like this when i was a kid i had a blue plastic smurf lunch box which i still have btw i remember when i d open it at lunchtime i d find the little plastic baggies of food were all jumbled together and smooshed after having been pummeled by my matching thermos oh and i remember the latch on that box too that flimsy thing would pop open and my sad little lunch would end up all over the sidewalk really no joke that happened to me it s funny to think about now but even at 7 years old that drove me crazy well i m delighted to say that planetbox has come up with a fantastic solution to those old lunch box problems they designed lunch trays with compartments more than that the compartments are specifically measured with portion control in mind and the latch on the box is excellent in that not only does it stay closed when needed it s easy for little hands to manipulate no tricky closures here want to know what is really cool about these boxes they are made of stainless steel which means they are non toxic they won t stain and they don t retain the odors from lunches past also they are completely reusable totally eco friendly and they re dishwasher safe talk about economical and efficient want to know what james would say is the coolest thing about these boxes the magnets the founders and creators of planetbox a husband wife team who are parents themselves didn t overlook the fact that they were making lunch boxes for kids they came up with the brilliant idea of making magnet sets to adhere to the outside of the box they are removable and you can mix and match the many sets we ve had our planetbox for about a year now and we just l o v e it we ve used it quite often over the past 12 months and i m pleased to say it s still as good as new here s a photo of james and his planetbox this day s meal included carrot sticks pitted cherries blueberries popcorn star shaped peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat and a few gluten free cookie buttons james and i have such fun coming up with new ideas for filling up those compartments and new ways to display his food he enjoys his meals so much and i know he s getting everything he needs and in just the amount he needs feeling not so creative when it comes to food combos there are tons of meal ideas on planetbox s facebook page and an excellent grocery list printable on their store website and with this handy carrying bag it s super easy for james to tote his lunch to camp the handle is just his size and the whole system is sleek not at all bulky on the outside of the bag there s a place for his water bottle and a pocket for a mid morning snack on the inside is an interior slot for a planetbox cold kit and even a couple little straps that secure utensils or a sweet little love note we have the complete rover set so we also have these awesome little dippers we use these containers all the time they are excellent for holding wet and dry foods and they don t have to be used with your lunch box either in fact both of our dippers are in my diaper bag right now holding cheerios and goldfish crackers ok so now you understand why i m such a huge fan of planetbox would you like one of your own you can hop on over to the planetbox shop and buy one now true they initial price may seem a tiny bit high but consider the fact that these are reusable meaning they ll last you a lot longer than a brown paper bag and plastic baggies care for them properly and you ll enjoy your lunch box for years it ends up being a savings for sure you can also enter

work for james i guess that s because we ve moved out of our classroom it s now juliet s montessori bedroom and school happens at the kitchen table where it s just not conducive to have loads of trays spread about but truth be told i miss creating these works so this past weekend i assembled four of them and i figure we ll just bring one out at a time here s what i made polishing sunglasses i thought this was timely given the sunny season that s upon us here in bermuda to do this work james will remove everything on the tray and arrange it neatly on his work table he ll remove the glasses from the case use the little brush in the cup to dust the lens then he ll open the water container it s colored so he can easily see that the cotton swab he ll be using is wet it ll absorb the blue color dip the swab in and then gently coat the lenses after that he ll use the cotton ball to remove the wetness and the polishing cloth to shine the lenses and the frame the used materials will go into the waste bin and the work materials will be returned neatly to the tray transferring feathers i think the photo is pretty self explanatory james will use the clothespin to transfer the feathers from one basket to the other and then back again it s tricky and requires some focus and patience because the clothespin is tighter than a tweezers though still completely manageable i always test the work after i put it together and the feathers are very fluffy and not very easy to pinch i know james will like this one oh and ps a little bermuda shout out since i m using the somerset cricket team s colors changing batteries in a flashlight we re in the midst of hurricane season here and one thing i guarantee you every house on this island has is at least one flashlight we have several throughout the house and this one is james which is kept in his room to do this work james will unscrew the cap of the flashlight remove the current set of batteries within and discard them safely he ll then open the little wooden chest i always like to provide fun little container it adds to the element of interest in the work and remove the new set of batteries to finish he ll insert them into the flashlight screw the cap back on and switch on the light to be sure he completed the work correctly if not he ll repeat the steps positive this one will be a huge hit and all of flashlights will be in for a battery makeover open close containers i bought these little paint containers a couple of years ago i knew they had some school potetnail outside of holding paint but i wasn t sure what lo and behold the day has come for these gems they re pretty small so again it ll take some patience to open them just right so the contents don t fly out inside of each container i put a single alphabet bead to do this work james will open a container remove the bead and place it in the little wooden bucket then discard the now empty container into the other bowl he ll repeat this until every container is emptied then he ll set out all of the letter beads onto his work table and proceed to identify as many words as he can spell he ll record them in the little homemade notebook james has really been into spelling lately so i think he ll like this one too after making these i was thinking it would be fun to do these more often maybe a few every week or two would you all like to see
