Oh that movie looks so cute!!! We saw a trailer for Despicable Me 2, coming this summer... Hayden went through a phase where all he watched was Despicable Me! He watched it so much the DVD doesn't work anymore lol. I PVR'd it for him the other day. I'm looking forward to the new one!

The kids love Toy Story and Ice Age... they liked Cars 1 but not so much the second one lol.

We still haven't seen the 3rd Madagascar movie... I'll probably rent it soon!

has anyone heard from Cabbie lately.. he hasn't been on since Thursday..

My mom got the kids a boxed set of Madagascar for Christmas (1, 2, 3 and a christmas movie). I thought it was cute!

And OMG, Toy Story 2. DD loves it! It's almost annoying how many time she watched it this Summer. At least once a week ALL summer long!

Going to go see if HIMYM is on and the *try* and go to bed early. Still need to pack DD's lunch though. She loves that WOWbutter (soy butter that tastes like PB). Sooo happy I found it!

Have a fantastic night everyone!

You're lucky, we're not allowed to use the Wow butter

[bargain_hunter_lola]

Whaaaaaat ? Why?

It's soy!

[Natalka]

Some schools won't allow soy spread because it 'looks' like real PB, then kids might get complacent if they see others with it, mistakenly thinking it's okay to bring PB. Just so a mistake doesn't get made...

When my son was in elementary school, there was a nut and seed ban - were able to use soy butter though, but he wasn't a big fan. There are so many other options for lunch, it was just fine.
However, I had more difficulty because I baked all our cookies, squares, etc. - and frequently used PB, nuts, sunflower seeds, etc. so I found that more of a pain to just make other stuff.

Yep, Natalka is right! My cousin in the states was shocked when I told her we couldn't send peanut butter to school, she said they don't do that where her kids go to school!

[MrsSunshine]

[lindsbeth112984]

Morning all! Feeling refreshed today, first time in a while that I got 8+ hours of solid sleep. Gonna try my hand at making a crockpot lasagna today.

[bargain_hunter_lola]

Wow, I'm glad they allow it here. She's only in JK so of course I make everything and add the labels (they have little labels under the main label so you can stick them on the sandwich).

I tried a bunch of things the first week and all were no go's. but she ate the sandwich no problem.

PB is the only thing we can't bring. Some schools in our areas have bans on a few things, like eggs, milk etc. One even has a ban on kiwi.
