Toy Story Backyard Movie


Thursday night, we hosted our 3rd backyard movie of the summer. Toy Story is one of my favorite movies and I know every word. In addition to our usual candy raflle, I also gave away Toy Story popcorn (Walmart), Toy Story gummi, candy dips and ring pops (Walmart), Toy Story sand molds and Toy Story movie poster and paints (Dollar Tree). All guests got a ticket for coming and a ticket for each food item that wil be delivered to a local food pantry.

Sheridan had fun setting up the army men around the table.


I made these cute little green alien men from Disney Family.


I used children's blocks as a plate stand for the cupcakes and barrel of monkeys were hanging from the chandelier.


I took my kids to see Toy Story 3 on Monday and I cried like a baby. The story begins when Andy is 17 and leaving for college. It hit very close to home because of the picture above, Matthew was 6 and Chasen was 2 when they were Buzz and Woody for Halloween in 2000. Buzz and Woody were Matthew's favorite and the Woody used in the tablescape was Matthew's from when he was 3. Buzz and RC are somewhere in the garage.

What a fun movie and your decorations are some of the best I've seen you do. Very cute.

We went to see Toy Story 3 yesterday at The El Capitan in Hollywood. They had a wonderful after movie party. You can see it on my blog today.

It seems like only a short time ago the 1st movie came out. Where did that time go?

Hugs,
Joanne

Virgin River Season 4
Virgin River season 4 was announced to have its shooting begin in late July, right after the sudden release of season 3 on Netflix. Based on a few hunches, the case may be that Ricky will make his decision on enlisting after which he’ll have to disappear from the Virgin River as well as leave Lizzy behind! Most probably, Christopher and Paige will have a reunion, Charmaine may welcome twins in her life and we may as well see the twist in Todd, their biological father Jack, and her custody, and lastly, the killer of Jack’s death may finally be revealed.

Virgin River season 4
Virgin River season 4 was announced to have its shooting begin in late July, right after the sudden release of season 3 on Netflix that was not in the notice of the audience and that’s why everyone predicts that Netflix is going to do the same for Virgin River season 4. While season 3 ended up with a classy couple of things, the ending was not acceptable as a simple arrest and demanded more justice to the plot hence, Virgin River season 4 will kill the curiosity now.

how not to summon a demon lord season 2
How not to summon a demon Lord or Isekai Mao to Shokan Shojo no Dorei Majutsu is a Japanese light novel series written by Yukiya Murasaki with illustrations provided by Takahiro Tsurusaki. Kodansha is publishing the manga under Lanove Bunko and currently 13 volumes in circulation. The J-Novel club is publishing the novels in English. Although the story for the novels is set in stone, it has always been believed that the anime had a lot of potential for further elaboration and expansion. And such did come out to be the case for the anime.

sugoi dekai meaning
SUGOI DEKAI MEANING has been in the trending feeds for a while now and it is directed towards the character Uzaki-chan in the anime adaptation ‘Uzaki-chan Wants To Hang Out!’ SUGOI DEKAI MEANING in English translates to ‘ SO BIG’, ‘SO HUGE’, ‘SO EXCEPTIONAL’. The word SUGOI “DEKAI” translates to ‘SO BIG’ because Uzaki-chan wears it across her breast, it is an allusion referring to her busty physique.
