DIsney’s BFG Free Printables and Crafts

July 1stv we saw the release of Disney’s BFG (Big Friendly Giant) in theaters. It is a charming story about a ten-year girl who befriends a giant. I expect this to be a good movie with Steven Spielberg directing, he is after all, one of my favorite directors. However, I actually haven’t seen it yet, although it is on my to watch list. 4th of July weekend has just been a little busy for me. Therefore, instead of my own short summary of the movie, here is a short synopsis of the film:

Ten-year-old Sophie is in for the adventure of a lifetime when she meets the Big Friendly Giant (Mark Rylance). Naturally scared at first, the young girl soon realizes that the 24-foot behemoth is actually quite gentle and charming. As their friendship grows, Sophie’s presence attracts the unwanted attention of Bloodbottler, Fleshlumpeater and other giants. After traveling to London, Sophie and the BFG must convince Queen Victoria to help them get rid of all the bad giants once and for all.

Refreshing Pineapple Popsicle Recipe

So, as many of you know, it is summer. Trust me when I say it is HOT outside and with a family that has a sensitivity to heat and the sun, it can be almost unbearable. It is this time a year where ice cube trays have to be filled constantly, creative ways to stay cool pop up all over the house, and the demand for a refreshing treat echos off the walls. Is Fall here yet? Hahaha

Since Fall is still a ways off and it is just too hot to go shopping, I had to get creative with a refreshing dessert that required no cooking (too hot for oven use). Scouring through my pantry, I searched for something..anything.. that would work to make a dessert. Remember the story of old Mother Hubbard that went to the cupboard? Yeah, my pantry was bare, except for a jar of flour, a bag of sugar, and a solitary can of crushed pineapple.

Out of those options, the only thing that could be eaten without preparation was the can of crushed pineapple. I may not be Princess Leia looking for Obi-Wan, but this can was my only hope. I tore it opened and dumped it in a blender to liquefy the already mushy pineapple remains. Once well blended, I dumped 1/3 cup of VAT milk and 2 Tablespoons of granulated Sugar. Once again I turned the blender to liquefy and watched the pineapple blend with the milk and turn into a light yellow soup. I then found my Popsicle molds and dumped the mixture into the molds, capped them and placed them in the freezer. After which, I crossed my fingers.

Four hours later I carefully removed a Popsicle. While members of my family watched, I took a taste. Slowly I savored the bite and stared at everyone. I wonder what the world record for a staring contest is because we could have probably beat it easily.

In my head I was trying to figure out how to break the news to them. I figured I should just say it as simple as possible, “I am so sorry guys, but you won’t like these. I guess I am just gonna have to eat them all.”

My plan didn’t work. Within seconds, my freezer was like my pantry, empty. The Refreshing Pineapple Popsicles were devoured almost in an instant. I guess I need more pineapple.

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

I have shared this refreshing recipe for the summer season. It is very simple to make and it can easily be converted to use fresh pineapple. YUM!

I hope you enjoy my crazy creation and that it helps you have a coolish summer.

Refreshing Pineapple Popsicle

Serve and Enjoy

Free Firenzar Coloring Page from Slug It Out

The Slugterra game Slug It Out has debuted a new slug that is a little hot called the Firenzar! With fins like a fish, this little guy looks as if he can swim through fire. He has adorable fire eyebrows that accent his red body and yellow markings. He may look cute, fut this little guy can spew fire around you causing damage over a short period of time…basically you are burning until the attack is finally over.
