Disney Famiy Day #1 - Pooh Party

We go to Disney World in just under three months. Not that anyone is counting.

Because of this, and because Zach is now home every weekend, and (mostly) because we're giant nerds, we've started weekly "Disney Family Days". Zach had wanted to start watching some of the feature films we love with Emmersyn and Hartley, so he thought what better way than to pick one each week and watch it, either in part until we were finished or in whole on a "special" day where the girls got to watch extra TV? ;)

I took it ten steps farther with the help of some equally crazy friends, and Disney Family Days were born. Or, if you're 2-years-old and need things simplified a bit, "[Fill-in-a-Character/Movie] Parties" were born.
one step

First up was a "Pooh Party"!

The girls wanted "to cheese" (you can figure it out) with the books they helped to set up, so I thought it a good time to take a few pictures. Hartley was very cooperative

but Emmersyn had her own ideas. (When doesn't she?) She insisted on "cheesing" elsewhere.

When the "party" started, we read a Pooh story ...

... went on a Heffalump hunt ...

... and played Pin the Balloons on Pooh.

Then we watched The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (where again Miss Emmersyn had to do her own thing)

and the girls colored pictures of the Hundred-Acre Woods gang while I finished dinner.

A dinner which, of course, was Pooh-themed. Sort of. Give a girl a break, we're still on a tight budget around here. ;)

Stay tuned for future DFDs! (And yes, I just abbreviated that. Call me an even bigger dork, I can handle it.)
