Happy Hunger Games to All!

What a party! "Best party ever!" is what the 5th and 6th graders are reporting back to their teachers! Today during lunch, we celebrated the release of the Hunger Games movie! This was a very exclusive party. If you wanted to attend, you had to take a HG quiz and score 80% or better. If you got in, you received a very rare Panem Lottery Ticket to gain entry:

 

KAtniss ready to meet her guests

I wonder what Haymitch is sending us?

The attendees enjoyed some delicacies:

Homemade cupcakes! I used chocolate and piped it onto parchment paper in the shape of the Mockingjay

Cinnamon Jolly Ranchers

Pita Chips

Bugles

Peeps

Sunkist

7-Up

Then we had a little hand to hand combat! We played Trackerjacker tag- I think I lost! Then, we played... well, I don't think it has a name! We'll call it "Keep the Orange on the Spoon" game! Maeghan was our Victor!
 


Then we just spent a little time chillaxin' with The Girl on fire!

1 (ONE!) Week Until The Games!

I will let Buddy The Elf tell you how I feel about the nearing date of 

The Hunger Games Movie:

All Hail The Hunger Games!

Vote Snow

I have always liked Donald Sutherland, but after March 23rd, I may not. 

Yes, Please!

Do you think I could get these for my three year old's birthday? Her birthday is in 3 weeks. Won't she love them? We could use our extra Barbie Dolls as Tributes? It would be awesome! They are only $17.99 each on Amazon. You could save money by not buying the Peta doll.

What Super Bowl?

This is the only reason I would watch the Super Bowl... the new Hunger Games trailer will play during this year's game. Goosebumps!

2 Late 4 Xmas?

Thanks Sarah (AKA @Pageintraining) for making me feel awesome and awful at the same time.
1. Awesome: I want this. I want this now. I will have this.
2. Awful: I have mixed feelings about a "movie poster" ad for reading.
3. Awesome: I need this. I need this now. My library needs this. I will have this.
4. Awful: The kids really need to picture these characters for themselves.
5.Awesome: I love this. I love this now. My kids will love this. I will have this.
6. Awful: They are too clean and pretty. I don't think anyone, beside those in The Capital, looked this pretty.

Where is Gale?

A new Hunger Games movie poster! Eeeek!

I am on Team Gale, so it is very hard for me to see all this Peeta nonsense. I still think (SPOILER!) that Katniss should have ended up with Gale. And another thing... these people are just so darn pretty. In my mind, they weren't perfect gods and goddesses... they were real- but that is Hollywood. As much as I complain about the movie adaptation (and I've been pretty positive thus far!) I will be there at 12:00 on March 23! Will you?
