I’m not sure who enjoyed Happy Feet 2 more, Kieran (5yrs) or Roy and I!
Kieran was thrilled to receive a box full of Happy Feet 2 goodies and couldn’t wait to settle down to watch the film (whilst wearing a thin tshirt because of the sun and the woolly Happy Feet hat “because it’s cool”).
The film is magical! We all enjoyed the first film and this was just as enjoyable if not more so.
Packed with celebrity voices such as Robin Williams, Elijah Wood, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Pink and more (I’ll let you grown ups work out who plays who!), Mumable returns to our screens along his insanely cute son Erik who has to find his own way in the world.
There is plenty of fun and adventure and the music had us either dancing around or stifling sobs. This film has it all.
This film also had the magical ability to render my 5yr old completely silent for the full 95 minutes so I think it is safe to say that it captures the imagination and was loved by us all.
Happy Feet 2 is now available to buy on DVD and Blu-Ray and you can get it on Amazon for just £9 with free delivery.
As you can see this fab film is now available on Blu-Ray and DVD
A huge thank you to Warner Brothers who have again excelled themselves with yet another spectacular release!
End of term and time for uncomplicated fun and relaxation
Just a couple more days and we can hang up the gym kits, put away the uniform and lose the book bag for two weeks. The Easter school holidays are nearly here and thank goodness!
We are jiggered.
This month alone, not to mention everything else that we have had since the February half term, has been busy to say the least and has included…
World book day dressing up and associated school fun
Dress as a knight day
Dress as a wizard day (today)
Dress in sports gear (Sports relief) and Skip-a-thon
Two school plays to attend after school
Phonics afternoon (for us parents – we get jiggered too)
A bake sale (to contribute to and to attend after school)
An Easter Egg tombola (to contribute and attend)
Easter lunch, in school to have with the kids if we can.
Parents evening (I get this but it’s another one on the list!)
Make an Easter bonnet to bring to school for a competition
Make an animal board game to bring to school
Design and make a book cover and bring to school for a competition
Church visit for the Easter service
And these are on top of the usual reading, miscellaneous homework and swimming lessons .
These and many other similar extras have kept the kids very busy and had us running around like headless chooks. Fortunately I work from home so have some flexibility when it comes to running around organising things and making important calls like ringing your little sister and begging her to makes some nice (not squished and crap looking) cakes for the bake sale.
A busy half term to say the least!
This holiday we have things planned but in a leisurely way. The first day off includes a birthday party but other than that, and a few days where Kieran is at a play scheme we will be kicking our shoes off and enjoying some R&R!
One day is earmarked for a train ride to York for just Kieran and I, to watch the boats, walk around the park and enjoy a museum or two and some chilled out garden time is also on the cards.
Yes, I think we can all say “THANK GOODNESS” now the holidays have arrived because as much as it means having a juggle work-wise, we all need a break from school, kids and parents alike!
Is anyone else counting the days until they break up? Are your kids shattered and ready for the time off?
What have you got planned? (I may steal ideas from this one if anyone answers!).
I’m not sure who enjoyed Happy Feet 2 more, Kieran (5yrs) or Roy and I!
