I Speak for the Trees...

Can you believe I'd never read The Lorax until about six months ago?  Well, we checked it out from the library, and it quickly became a favorite around here. 

So, of course when it came out in theaters, it was on our list of must-see movies to rent.

Lo and behold, we finally rented it and hyped up a movie night for last night.  Everybody was super-excited, poised and ready.

And the cable/Internet went out.

No Lorax.

Sarah and Will went with the flow, though, and we watched it yesterday.

The Bar-ba-loots are my personal favorite, and not just because "bar-ba-loot" is one of the frothiest words ever created. 

I saw some marshmallow and chocolate Teddy Grahams Bar-ba-loot snacks on Pinterest, so we noshed on those.  Bar-ba-loots Chocolate Teddy Grahams are dangerously addictive.

 In the spirit of beating a dead horse, the little guys colored some Loraxes,

 and painted Truffula trees.

 I loved this cloud activity from this blog, but thought my peeps might not be satisfied with just using white paint.  So, we added food coloring to our glue-and-shaving-cream mixture, and came up with a rainbow of colors, just like the Truffula fluff.

Sarah made stars:

Will made mountains and Bar-ba-loots:

I contributed with a rainbow.  

You can't tell from these pictures, but the "paint" is dimensional and dries with little peaks and rivets in it.  Now Daddy has some "art of works" (Sarah-ism) to spruce up his office.

The movie made such an impression on Sarah that she asked to walk to choir practice last night, so we wouldn't "make dirty air".
