Friday means it's time to share our family night theme again.  We watched the Wonderful Wizard of Ha's this week. It was a mix between the Prodigal son parable from the Bible and the Wizard of Oz...it was so cute, and the kids loved it. For my weekly email to the hubs, he received the menu below. I found the picture from  Christians Best , and used  Picmonkey  to add the menu.   If you think you might want to re-use this picture, feel free to copy and paste...or go to the link above, and create your own. Here is our delightful spread for the evening.   We had homemade strawberry lemonade in mason jars, and since we were watching Veggie Tales, I decided to add in a few veggies:o)  We were supposed to have mini hamburgers for dinner, but I forgot to thaw the hamburger meat...we made a quick trip to visit grandparents on Wednesday, so I didn't fix the  Ham and Cheese Sliders  that evening. They were a quick and delicious fix! The hubs loved...

It's Friday again, so I am sharing our Family Night theme with you all. Last night we watched Shark Tale. I had originally intended for us to watch  Big Miracle , (hence the whale themed family night)but apparently, there is a ton of language in it, so that was definitely a no-go....and it's rated PG...I don't get it:o/ Anyway, I had to find another movie to replace it, so we went with Shark Tale. I could still stick with my "fishy" theme:o) For those of you who don't know what Shark Tale is or need a reminder, here is the trailer. Every week I make a little sign for what we'll be having for dinner that night, and I try to make it match the theme. Last week I didn't get around to it, but this week I was on the ball:o) I sent it in an email to the hubs so that he would know what to expect:o) The food was pretty simple. It took a little more than 20 minutes to put everything together. We had "fish & chips" which were Gortons Tilapia fish ...

 Almost every Thursday night we try to sit down as a family and watch a movie and eat lots of junk food.  If possible, I try to have a theme where the food is concerned. Since we were watching Despicable Me, I decided to try to make all of the food resemble minions. When the movie first came out, S.R. referred to the minions as Tater Tots, so that was an absolute must for the menu.  I found these cute little corn dogs at Publix, and thought they looked like little minions too.  The minion Twinkies were the hit of the night. Can you tell which one was my first attempt;o) I have seen these little guys all over the internet, but never took the time to find out how they were made. I did check for the list of ingredients, though. Through trial and mostly error, here is what I found out...  *mini marshmallows, cut into thirds, are the easiest for the goggles, not the suggested SweeTarts. *I used black gel icing, which I highly suggest against. It's way too runny. ...
