the 'tangled' web of boys versus girls & MOVIE TICKET G I V E A W A Y

Greetings all,

Yippee, Disney has made one of my favourite fairytales, Rapunzel, into an animated movie, Tangled - my children will love to see these school holidays!!  Nuffnang have kindly sponsored this promotion & giveaway . . . click here for the Tangled trailer.

The Official Word . . . Walt Disney Pictures presents TANGLED, an action-packed, swashbuckling, animated musical comedy about the girl behind 70 feet of magical, golden hair.  A princess stolen from her parents’ castle as a baby, Rapunzel (voice of MANDY MOORE) is locked in a hidden tower longing for adventure.  Now an imaginative and determined teenager, she takes off on a hilarious, hair-raising escapade with the help of a dashing bandit (voice of ZACHARY LEVI).  With the secret of her royal heritage hanging in the balance and her captor in pursuit, Rapunzel and her cohort find adventure, heart, humor, and hair… lots of hair.  With original music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Glenn Slater, this comedic re-imagining of the classic Brothers Grimm fairytale comes to theaters in Disney Digital 3D™.

With 3 big sisters, my son is well informed of what girls can do better than boys, they keep telling him!!  Sure it's a genderless society for children these days but how much fun is it to play good old fashioned boys versus girls games??  To test it out, in the spirit of Tangled, i devised some events, games & competitions for my family, to see who are better, boys or girls??

First up was . . . Target Shooting, nerf gun versus IKEA-cups-in-the-hallway-shooting-gallery-style. I figured with my son teaming up with a professional soldier, it might take all 4 of us girls to try to beat them!!

 We didn't, the boys won & had way more fun that us!!

Round two . . . Cup Cake Decorating. This was an individual event & highly competitative, Daddy was the judge.  

My son won, another victory for the boys!!
Word on the street is that my son had tipped Daddy off & asked him to vote for the cup cakes in the blue wrappers, foiling my blue-for-boys, pink-for-girls secret theme!!

Third event . . . Lego Building, who could build the tallest tower the fastest??

The winner was our eldest daughter, Boys 2: Girls 1.
Ding ding, round Four . . . Pin the Tail on the Donkey. Spinning around, blind folded & heckling, this is much harder than it looks!!

Some tails went a little haywire after spinning the children around, this was another victory for my son, Boys 3: Girls 1.

The final game . . . Plaiting our very own Rapunzel's Hair!!

Sorry ladies, my husband won this!!  In our family, the boys are just better than girls, so we're happy for them to do their best at cake decorating, shotting play guns & plaiting hair, we can be ladies of leisure!!
