Babes in Toyland

YAY! We finally made it to movies that begin with the letter "B"!! I watched Babes in Toyland for the first time with the kid.

I don't know where to begin. I might have been really tired, but I didn't follow this one at all. It felt so scattered... I really couldn't tell what the story was about! Where are we? Why didn't this girl know she had money? Why did she just believe and accept what these people said about her fiance and then go and say yes to some other guy's proposal? And suddenly we are in a toy workshop... I'm lost. 

Anyway, I decided to start on my annual Christmas Activity Calendar or December Bucket List. I have some pretty fun activities planned for this year. Can't wait! 

101 Dalmatians

Today we watched the first movie in the challenge: 101 Dalmatians. 

I remember watching this as a kid and letting myself fall asleep to the sound of Pongo's British accent as he narrates. This is Frank's favorite Disney movie and it was the first time Chris saw it. He giggled at Jasper and Horace much like he giggles at Marv and Harry from Home Alone. 

I found some old shirts that were on their way out and decided we could use them for our movie inspired craft this week. 

We had a fabric marker already and we both just made dots all over and colored them in. Dalmatian spots aren't perfect, which made this project even easier.

A Cruella inspired outfit, a puppy in the middle, and my casual Dalmatian inspired outfit. Now we are ready for the sequel and live-action films!
