Saturday (32) – Feb 28th – Paint Rapunzel peg-doll

Despite the kids going back to school this week, the Disney tasks don’t seem to have been too much of a hassle. On Monday we had play a Disney game, which to be honest is most days anyway. Both girls and certainly me too, played on Disney Tsum Tsum at least once and on top of that, Lily is obsessed with the new stuffed toys being sold at Clintons. On Tuesday it was read Disney which is a fairly safe bet for a Tuesday as the girls usually go to their dads. We read Chapters 7 and 8 of the Never Girls third book, as we’re trying to finish one each month. On Wednesday we down for watching Tarzan. I actually hadn’t seen the movie myself for years and years, the girls never having seen it at all. The three of us all enjoyed it and I’m so glad we added it to the “to watch” list. Thursday was make or draw Disney but the girls had school disco after school and it made for a busy evening. Luckily I spent all day working on my Florida planner, which is for the most part Disney, so we used that as our make Disney task. On Friday it was watch a random movie and after some debate we settled on Aristocats. Lily has started loving Marie (I’m sure its to do with buying the Tsum Tsum) so she was keen to re-watch Aristocats again and Megan agreed. Saturday’s task was paint Rapunzel and Megan got her done with very little grumble this week. I believe she found her particularly easy, especially with the amount of yellow for her hair. Finally came Sunday and the task was to watch Cinderella. I have to admit I quite like this routine we seem to of had for the last few weeks, settling down to watch a Disney movie on a Sunday afternoon.

We’ve now hit the 1 month mark and not including today, we’ve only got 30 more days left of Disney tasks. I personally will be quite glad to see them finish as they’re dominating our life a little, but I think certainly Megan feels an element of disappointment at the thought of not doing them any more. I’m really glad I came up with the idea of this Disney Countdown as its had exactly the effect I wanted and I seriously can’t wait for 30 more days to pass!

Tuesday (43) – Feb 17th – Play a Disney game
Wednesday (42) – Feb 18th – Dress up Disney

On Monday the girls were with their dad as they’d stopped over Sunday night and were doing so again on Monday night. They both drew something Disney and then sent pictures of it back for me to put on Instagram. On Tuesday I picked them up and they both played Disney Infinity in the car on the way home, though I’m sure they both played on Tsum Tsum later in the day as well. On Wednesday, Amy and Olivia were with us and so all three girls dressed up. Lily and Liv were both Sofia, while Megan went for Elsa in her Coronation outfit. On Thursday we painted Merida the pegdoll, now giving us quite a good collection of peg dolls. We also caught up on Hunchback of Notre Dame from the week before, as we’d not managed to squeeze it in until then. On Friday we had to watch a random movie and the girls and I picked Beauty and the Beast’s – Belle’s Magical World as none of us had seen it before. On Saturday we were going out for lunch so we baked cupcakes in the morning and decorated them in the evening. We made Princess carriages which was basically a packet mix I’d picked up from Tesco and honestly they didn’t look much like carriages! Finally on Sunday we watched Monsters Inc on dvd. This was meant to follow on from watching Monsters University a couple of weeks ago but unfortunately we didn’t actually do that and had watched Bolt instead. Perhaps we’ll have time to catch Monsters University before we go anyway!

Monday (65) – Jan 26th – Read a Disney book
Tuesday (64) – Jan 27th – Make or Draw something Disney
Wednesday (63) – Jan 28th – Paint Snow White peg-doll
Thursday (62) – Jan 29th – Play a Disney game
Friday (61) – Jan 30th – Watch a Toy Story
Saturday (60) – Jan 31st – Make Disney inspired food
Sunday (59) – Feb 1st– Paint Alice in Wonderland peg-doll

We started off the week with “read Disney” and all of us commented that we were glad as it seemed like we hadn’t read much of our book so far this month. We were less than half way through too, so we agreed to read a chapter every night, on top of our other Disney challenge. Tuesday the kids were with their dad so they drew pictures at Grandma’s house and brought them home. Megan seemed pretty disappointed with hers, though Lily was pleased. On Wednesday we had a lot to do and Megan made a rush job of Snow White. Since the picture, she has neatened her up and added the hair bow. On Thursday the girls were with Nanny but they were ready for school early and so played on Tsum Tsum in the morning. I’m pretty sure they played again after school too! On Friday our task was to watch Toy Story but unfortunately we were out from after school until the girls had to go to bed. Instead we watched it on Saturday afternoon. We also had Saturday’s task to do which was make Disney inspired food and since we didn’t have much in, we made crown/tiara shaped biscuits and once they were cool, the girls decorated them beautifully. Finally came Sunday and the task was another peg-doll because it was the start of the next princess chain. I can’t believe we’re into February now, meaning only 2 months to go!
