Tuesday (15) – March 17th – Play a Disney game
Wednesday (14) – March 18th – Dress up Disney
Thursday (13) – March 19th – Make or Draw Disney
Friday (12) – March 20th – Watch The Incredibles
Saturday (11) – March 21st – Make Disney food
Sunday (10) – March 22nd – Watch a random Disney movie – Cars

This week has been a busy one but we’re almost there now! This is days 16 down to 10 – yes 10! On Monday we had to Read Disney which was a nice calm start to the week. We read another couple of chapters from the Nevergirls book and we’re over half way now. On Tuesday it was play a Disney game and luckily we all play Tsum Tsum most days as it was a “daddy day” meaning the kids weren’t back till late. Wednesday it was Parent’s Evening and the girls’ went to mum’s while I went to see their teachers. This meant it was late when we got back and they didn’t actually dress up till Thursday to do Wednesday’s task. Also on Thursday we had to Make or Draw Disney and so the girls worked on their Tinkerbell fashion books. Still on Thursday, we also caught up with The Lion King from last week (finally) – Thursday was a very busy day! On Friday we came home from school and watched The Incredibles. Saturday was make Disney food and as we were looking for something easy we made Baymax faces on Marshmallows and toasted them. We also watched Cars in the afternoon as we knew we wouldn’t get time on Sunday – and that was Sunday’s task, watch a random movie.

Only 10 more days and 10 more tasks till we go on holiday. This week is the last week of school for the kids and their dad is having them over the weekend. Hopefully we keep on track and get all our tasks done, before we jet off to Florida, a week on Thursday.

Monday (51) – Feb 9th – Read a Disney book
Tuesday (50) – Feb 10th – Play a Disney game
Wednesday (49) – Feb 11th – Make or Draw Disney
Thursday (48) – Feb 12th – Paint Aurora peg-doll
Friday (47) – Feb 13th – Make Disney inspired food
Saturday (46) – Feb 14th – Dress up Disney
Sunday (45) – Feb 15th – ~~Watch Hunchback of Notre Dame~~

So this week has been a bit higgly piggly. Due to us being so busy, we’ve had to switch around tasks depending on where we are and what we’re doing. Majority of the week has been a different day’s task but we’ve mostly managed something at least each day! Monday was read a Disney book which we actually managed. We’re still carrying on with book 3 from the Never Girl series. Tuesday was play a Disney game, which we also managed – despite it being a Daddy day. The girls played on Disney Infinity in the car on the way to school. On Wednesday we were supposed to paint a peg-doll but switched it with the next day as the girls were staying at Grandma’s overnight. Instead on Wednesday they had to make or draw Disney which seems to have become a thing at Grandma’s recently! On Thursday when they were home, Megan painted the Aurora peg-doll, though she seems to be less and less happy with how they come out.

On Friday the kids were due to go to mum’s house overnight and she had planned to do some sort of Disney cake mix packet from Sainsbury’s. However the girls ended up off school for the day and not at mum’s, so I bought a packet mix instead and we made Mallow Minnie’s. On Saturday it was dress up Disney which we squeezed in between about 11.30am and 3.30pm. The girls had to get dressed regularly in the morning as we were going out for breakfast, then come home and change into dress-up clothes, before finally getting changed again as Lily had a party to go to. Finally came Sunday and we were set to watch The Hunchback of Notre Dame. However we had to take Chris to work (leaving around 11.30am), go out for lunch, go to my mum’s, fit in the movie in the afternoon, before taking Megan to a party at 4pm. Unfortunately when we got to mum’s, she had a friend there, who didn’t leave for almost another hour. This meant we couldn’t watch our DVD. As the girls went to their dad’s after Megan’s party, we were unable to watch it later too. As such, its been suspended till Tuesday when hopefully we’ll fit it in.

Disney Countdown – Days 58 to 52

Monday (58) – Feb 2nd – Play a Disney game
Tuesday (57) – Feb 3rd – Make or Draw something Disney
Wednesday (56) – Feb 4th – Read a Disney book
Thursday (55) – Feb 5th – Make Disney inspired food
Friday (54) – Feb 6th – Dress up Disney
Saturday (53) – Feb 7th – Paint Belle peg-doll
Sunday (52) – Feb 8th – Watch ~~Monsters University~~ Bolt

This week kicked off with play a Disney game so the girls got in their Tsum Tsum before school on Monday morning. I’m pretty sure they also played later after school too! Tuesday was make or draw Disney and again the girls were with their dad so they dress some pictures at Grandma’s. I believe Megan’s is Minnie Mouse and Lily made a mask of some sort that I think said Rapunzel or something on it (lol). Wednesday was make Disney inspired food but as the girls were with mum, we switched with Thursday and they read a Disney book instead. At home on Thursday the girls and I were tired so our Disney inspired food was toast cut out with Disney shapes. Since we’d missed “read Disney” the night before too, we read a chapter of the Never Girls. We’re now onto Book 3 “A Dandelion Wish”.

Next came dress up Disney, that was after school on Friday. Megan took the opportunity to try out Lily’s Anna dress and Lily picked to be Alice in Wonderland. On Saturday we had paint a peg-doll and this time it was Belle. It was late on in the day before Megan got around to it but she did a good job. Finally came Sunday and as we’d already planned a movie night (and taken a vote on which movie to watch) we all sat together and watched Bolt. When we finally got around to checking what the Disney task was we realised we should have been watching Monsters University. I guess we switched that out in favour of Bolt, though hopefully we’ll get around to squeezing it back in this week.

This week’s 52 Project photo was one taken this weekend. Amy and Liv were over to visit and as such, Amy asked if the girls had the disney task of dressing up over the weekend. As they did, Amy brought Olivia’s Minnie Mouse costume and all three girls spent Saturday dressed up. I picked this picture partly because its one of the few I’ve taken this week, but also because it gives a great comparison to them growing with Liv in the picture too (and how small she is!).

It’s not a very good picture of Megan this week but I didn’t really have any of her by herself. This was the day her “Queen Elsa” costume arrived and both girls rushed to get changed (they both had Coronation outfits). Megan has wanted this costume for so long and she was really chuffed to get it.

Lily’s picture was actually taken the following day when she insisted on still wearing her Anna Coronation dress. It’s technically a selfie, taken on my phone – but I took it. If you can’t tell, she’s actually stood in front of me. I just love how adorable she looks in this.
