My First Time Seeing an Episode of Spongebob Squarepants

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? I just recently, as in less than 24 hours ago, found out that it is Spongesquare Bobpants…I mean Spongebob Squarepants. Here is a confession for the whole world, until I was offered a copy of Spongebob Squarepants the Complete Eleventh Season on DVD to watch and review, I had never seen a single episode. Yup, my 15 yeahs or so streak has ended.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With my state making the “Stay-At-Home” Order to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 virus, I had some time to watch nine hours of Spongebob on DVD. Yes…NINE hours…and to be honest, I don;t remember much about my binge watching activities other than my family and I went through several bowls of popcorn. There was laughter, confusion, and surprise to be had by all, mostly confusion on my part.

I simply don’t understand the purpose of Spongebob Squarepants. For example, in the episode, “There is a Sponge in My Soup” we find three hippies that choose to squat in a soup made from near-garbage leftovers (gross). The whole episode is about evicting these annoying hippies so that the soup can be served to customers. First of all…What is up with the snorkel? Aren’t they already under water? Second, why has Krabby Patty not been shut down with all of the obvious health violations? and third, how did three hippies, a sponge, and a starfish fit into that tiny pot?

The questions continue as absolute absurdity takes place in every episode And after nine hours I can only conclude that the absurdity is what makes the show so much fun for so many people. Spongebob Squarepants allows people to shut off their minds, stop thinking, and just enjoy the insanity of a make believe world. With all that is happening in the world right now, I can see people needing to retreat to silly moments in order to escape the confines of reality, and Spongebob certainly allows this escape. From the ocean floor to outer space Spongebob breaks all barriers and simply has fun,

On March 31, 2020, Spongebob Squarepants the Complete Eleventh Season will arrive on DVD! So everyone will be able to enjoy the crazy characters that inhabit Bikini Bottom whenever they want. With over nine hours of episodes, this DVD collection will provide a brain break for all fans. While I may not understand this cartoon, Spongebob Squarepants is the longest running Nicktoon and it is still going. This must mean that it has a large and crazy fan-base.

Onward Printable Coloring Pages and Activities

Imagine a world with fantastical characters but no magic; where elves are accountants and not wizards; where dragons are pets like dogs, and where the 1970’s makes a come back in awesome van art. Disney Pixar’s Onward brings this world to life.

Onward takes place in a realm devoid of magic..or so the world thinks. It turns out there may just be a little magic left and two elf brothers find it. One would think these brothers would conjure riches, power, or video game awesomeness, however, instead they attempt to bring back their dad for just 24 hours.

But in a world of non-magic users, spells are hard to complete and something goes terribly wrong; only half of their dad comes back…and it’s not the half that can talk. In an effort to see him before the magic runs out, the brothers go on a journey to see if they can find just a little more magic to bring their dad fully back.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pixar Animation Studios’ all-new original feature film is directed by Dan Scanlon and produced by Kori Rae—the team behind “Monsters University.” “Onward” is now in theaters as of March 6, 2020. To celebrate the release of Onward in theaters, Disney Pixar release several fun printable coloring pages and activities including a printable Memory Game.

To get these awesome Onward printables click the images below and save the files to your computer. Then print and create for hours of fantasy fun!

Yummy Rice Crispy Pup-Tastic Treat Recipe

I have more awesomeness to share inspired by PAW Patrol Mighty Pups Super Paws! First we have a giveaway, second some fun printables and a nice little review, now we have a fun rice crispy treat the kids will love.

With just three ingredients and a bone cookie cutter these treats almost look like dog treats….almost. FYI, these are for human consumption. Not for dogs or super puppies.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The three ingredients are:

  • 3 Cups Crispy Rice Cereal
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter plus extra for greasing
  • 5 Ounces Marshmallows

To make these rice crispy treats simply mix the ingredients together and place the mixture on a greased sheet. Then it’s time to cut out the bone shapes. Once completed we can encourage the kids to perform tricks to earn the yummy morsels of marshmallowy goodness. I wonder if I can get one of them to sit and shake hahahaha.

For a copy of the recipe click the image below and save the PDF to your computer. It can then be printed and saved to any recipe collection.

PAW Patrol Mighty Pups Super Paws is Alliteration Fun!

Today PAW Patrol Mighty Pups Super Paws is out on DVD! In this DVD collection we get 6 mighty action episodes of pups saving the day! Like Chase says, “these mighty paws uphold the laws!” Whether it is naughty super kittens, a lady bird thief, the threat of a frozen town, or meeting new superheroes, these Mighty Pups are ready for action.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I received a copy of the DVD to review. SPOILER BELOW

With the PAW Patrol Mighty Pups Super Paws DVD Giveaway up and running on my blog, I thought it would be wise to also do a review on the DVD. Besides, who wouldn’t want to watch adorable puppies save the day.

The Paw Patrol Pups help citizens when they are needed, From washing cars to being a helping hands, helping is their way. In this 6 episode collection, they get super powers to help them save the town.

The six episodes are:

  • MIGHTY PUPS SUPER PAWS: When Super Kitties Attack
  • MIGHTY PUPS SUPER PAWS: Pups Meet the Mighty Twins
  • MIGHTY PUPS SUPER PAWS: Pups Save a Giant Chicken
  • MIGHTY PUPS SUPER PAWS: Pups Stop Harold’s Deep Freeze
  • MIGHTY PUPS SUPER PAWS: Pups and the Big Twin Trick
  • MIGHTY PUPS SUPER PAWS: Pups Save a Mega Mayor

Each episode features problems that must be solved, towns people that need help, and usually an eccentric villain that thinks only of them-self. For example, in “When Super Kitties Attack”, we have 5 kitties that get superpowers. Unlike the pups who use their powers for good, these kitties only think of themselves. They steal tuna, cows, and fish. It takes the Paw Patrol team to come up with several plans to retrieve the stolen goods and stop the kitties from causing more trouble. Teamwork, problem solving skills, and hard work help them save the day.

I love the fact that these cartoons encourage the helping of others, teamwork, problem solving, and fun. Every episode shows that no problem is too big and no pup is too small. It is a great series for any kid and even fun for the adults.

\I especially enjoyed every fun alliteration placed throughout the episodes. What is an alliteration? Learning moment! An alliteration is the same letter or sound at the beginning of consecutive words, usually in 3 or more. For example, Lady Bird uses one when she sees a statue of a chicken, “A Glorious Glittering Golden Chicken.” All those Gs make up the alliteration. Now here is a fun game…how many can you find in the 6 episodes?

I totally give this DVD 5 stars. It is a fun and exciting collection that encourages the best in all of us. And who doesn’t love all the alliterations?

Be sure to check out the Nickelodeon Website for all the fun games, activities, and printables of the Paw Patrol characters!
