Balloon Farm

Disney's Balloon Farm was an odd one. I'm still not really sure how the magic worked and why people would spend so much money on balloons. I didn't enjoy this too much. It was a mix of being bored and confused I think. 

I still don't understand what that guy was and what he was doing with the balloons and why he was picking out seeds so messily. I guess I will never find out. 

We tried some crafting with water balloons we had laying around. Here is a balloon covered flipflop.

Bad Hair Day

This movie came out earlier this year on The Disney Channel. I like DCOMS so this was right up my alley. The girl is a bit awkward and funny trying to figure out her life and the cop is hilarious and also trying to figure out her life. It is a cute movie and I enjoyed it. The kid enjoyed it as well, especially because the actress in it is in one of his favorite Disney Channel TV shows right now. 

Taking our inspiration from the beautiful and sparkly necklace in the movie, the kid made his own necklace with sparkly beads. 

Back Home

In this movie, a young girl is evacuated to America at the start of World War II and has just returned after the war to England. Adjusting to the lifestyle and culture of England after spending her formative years in America seems to be a big struggle as she now considers herself American. 

It wasn't a very entertaining movie but I suppose it was a bit educational. The girl liked to use stencils, especially on the walls, so I took inspiration from that and used some circle stencils and paint on my scrapbooking project. 

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! 

Avalon High

It is time for another Disney Channel Movie. This one is called Avalon High.

The actress from the recent Tomorrowland movie is in this and I so desperately wanted to like her Disney Channel movie but something about it seemed off. It all felt rushed and almost like for a second they were surprised that the Camelot characters were reincarnated and then a second later they got over it. But Disney sure loves to make movies about Arthur and Merlin! 

Since I watched most of the movie myself, I did the activity myself with a friend at work. We went for a walk at lunch through a trail, much like the one that Allie and Will run on in the movie.
