Review of Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel on DVD Skip to main content Lille Punkin' Search Search This Blog Review of Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel on DVD on March 23, 2010 Get link Facebook Twitter Pinterest Email Other Apps I don't know a parent in the world who has kids that HAVEN'T been exposed to the commercials advertising the new Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel movie -- especially the clips of the Chipettes singing their version of "Put a Ring on It." Long before we received a copy of this movie to review, I was promising my kids we would see it, one way or another. Here's what we thought: First of all, it's PG. This means that while some of the rowdier humor is mild -- it's there. If you're looking for a version of the Chipmunks that you remember as a child (the original version), this isn't it. That being said, it's not exactly a bad thing. The Chipmunks enroll in school, face some of the same trials and tribulations as today's kids, and learn a little about chipmunk love along the way. (Basically, the sanitized version of the original Chipmunks series might not resonate as well with kids ages 7 and up -- you know, the ones who actually have to deal with stuff in life?) Younger kids may find some of the humor goes over their head, and that's not without purpose. All kidding aside, this had a sweet story line, super animation, and of course, a bangin' soundtrack (more on the soundtrack in a later review.) We enjoyed the extras that came with the movie, and I think that overall, my kids found that the movie lived up to their very high expectations. I'd also like to add that we are a very musical family -- this movie tied right into something that is very near and dear to our hearts! If you want to hang out with kids in a way that they will enjoy as much as you, this movie makes a great Family Movie Night feature. The giggles from my kids were so worth any sassy chipmunk humor, and I think that they took away the real lesson from the movie -- that families can come together when things get tough (no matter if those families have tails and squeaky voices, or not.)

Popular Posts Cheap Graduation Party Food Ideas (Menu for 100) With 6 kids in our family, we have to stick to a very tight budget. So, when my oldest daughter was graduating from our homeschool, we knew that we would have to be very creative in our choices for the venue, food, and decorations. While it's very common for people in our part of Nebraska to grab frozen finger foods from Sam's Club, or a meat and cheese tray from the grocery store, we had only about $125 to spend total and many out of town relatives coming for the entire day. We had to feed them a full meal if we expected them to make the drive. (Note that this budget was created and met by shopping in bulk with my Sam's Club membership . Prices will vary, but I was able to get many items on sale or when they had their Instant Savings events. I planned ahead for a month or so to get the best deals!) No Sam's near you? Try BJs! The first thing that crossed my mind was pasta. It's what we eat when there is more month than money in our own home. It's How to Make Papier Mache (Paper Mache) Papier Mache (or Paper Mache, as it's often spelled) is an easy and fun way to create a durable gift or decoration, and all kids can get involved. (It's also the ultimate recycled art project.) The process is rather simple, but it does take time and patience to get to the end of the project. Read on for your fuss-free paper mache tutorial : 1.

Make your paste. There are several different variations, but the cheapest and most affordable is to use one part flour to one part water. (We used Great Value brand flour for our project, but any white version will do.) Just mix them together in a bowl to create a smooth soup. Add one teaspoon salt to discourage mold. (This is important if you live in an area of high humidity!) 3. Prepare your surfa 4 Things I Would Tell My Younger Homeschool Self By Melissa Batai Part of living is making mistakes and learning and growing through those mistakes. Sometimes, we have to recognize that we did the best we could do at the time and, in hindsight, see we could have handled the situation differently. As my oldest child is preparing to graduate, I find myself looking back on our homeschool journey thus far and reflecting on what I would tell my younger homeschool self. Every family’s homeschool journey is unique, so the advice I’d give my younger self might not reflect your homeschool experience. However, I hope I help some who are just starting their homeschool journey. 4 Things I Would Tell My Younger Homeschool Self My family’s homeschool situation is unique in that all three of my kids have special needs. Two have high functioning autism, two have ADHD, two have dyslexia, and one has dysgraphia. Yes, they all have multiple diagnoses. 1.
