Phineas and Ferb Party Friday Night

Aaron is excited about this real nice party we have planned for his 8th birthday tomorrow night.
Thanks to Disney, and Childs Play party, we were chosen to host this event for the new Phineas and Ferb movie! They sent a party pack a month or so ago, filled with tattoo sheets and masks of the characters. Tuesday, we received yet, another, party pack from Disney, filled with sling bags, stickers, and character buttons! These will be very cool for the kids goodie bags!
I'll be posting pictures here after the party!
I wanted to get real creative with this party, but as I mentioned in my last post, Deegan will be getting a CT scan done first thing in the morning. I am not sure how long that will be, so I cheated an ordered a cake from the bakery!
Other items on our menu will be; fruit pizza, veggie pizza, Subway subs, cheese curls, popcorn, Capri Suns, bottles of water, homemade Crispix mix, and homemade Rice Krispie treats! I'm often the type to overbuy and over cook and bake for get togethers, and parties, so I'm going to try my best to stay away from that!
I have to take Aaron and Genevive to their grandmothers house for the night, go for some groceries, try and get the rec room cleaned up, start some food preperation, and I may just stay up all night as first planned, with lots and LOTS of Maxwell House, and Coffeemate powdered cream (yum).
I also believe I'm going to steal my oldest daughters laptop, and fix up this blog, and fill in all of the pages I have up top with the info I have been wanting to get around too.
My main concern is to get Deegan as busy and as full as I possibly can, before he has to get to bed. I'll keep him up until 11pm, and after that, nothing else to eat or drink!
I should get some sleep though! Last count was 14 kids for the party!
Thank God, I have an older daughter who will be a huge help. Otherwise, I'd be completely bald after the movie. lol.
I'm going to finsh my shopping list and gather my coupons, the kids, their backpacks, pillows, and toothbrushes, and head on over to grandmas house.
If by any chance you have any creative, and easy, ideas for any Phineas and Ferb food, please leave a comment!

Velveeta Cheesy Skillets House Party

one of my favorite websites is; www.houseparty.com
i have been a member for a few years now, and i am quite pleased with how they do their business. we have been picked quite a few times for different types of products, and the party packs are wonderful!
i would recommend this website to anybody who likes to have parties, try new things, talk to others about new products, and offer their reviews after the party.
this past weekend, we were chosen for a Velveeta Cheesy Skillet House Party.
i absolutely love Kraft products, and we do use Velveeta Cheese fairly often.
we received our party pack and the box was packed full with goodies! they packed, tote bags, memo pad magnets, dry erase markers, coupons, a $5 Wal Mart gift card, and 4 boxes, 1 of each flavor of these new Velveeta Cheesey Skillet dinners.
the kids were excited about trying something new, and i was anxious myself. (even if it did remind me of Hamburger Helper that i had already eaten in the past, and was not particularly fond of.
there are 2 flavors for chicken; cheese chicken and broccoli and bbq chicken. there are 2 flavors for ground beef; nacho supreme, and cheeseburger macaroni.
they are all very simple to prepare, very easy to make, and don;t seem to cost much at all, so they are particularly great if you are on a budget;p ( i guess we all are;p)
all in all, it is just an OK product. it tastes just like Hamburger and Chicken Helpers, and i am not much of a boxed, prepared meal fan. i must admit, the cheese flavor was far superior over other prepackaged boxed dinners i have tried. but there didnt seem to be anything different, tantalizing, scrumptious, amazing, or even real great, about this product.
besides, is it really any cheaper for anybody to buy prepackaged dinners? they all seem to be smaller nowadays, and cost a bit more. of course i would never buy them without a coupon, but am i going to ever buy them at all?
probably not. the taste was just, again, mediocre, if i were to make this for a dinner for my family, i would feel as though i must force feed mounds of fruit afterward, and pump out arteries.
maybe i am just to picky, or maybe i just like to cook my own meals from scratch, and mostly from scratch;p
i would only recommend this product if there are 2 people, maybe 3, and of course, the single person.
it is super easy and quick to make, which would usually help out when out when you are in a hurry. although i can't say i would feed them to my kids before a baseball game or a soccer game.
i will always continue to use Kraft and Velveeta Cheese, i have been using their products for several years. they are both life savers in many many ways;p
