Duck Dodgers: Dark Side of the Duck on DVD

My kids are crazy about Loony Toons.  Daffy Duck is their absolute favorite.  To say they were excited about Duck Dodgers: Dark Side of the Duck is an understatement!  Daffy's antics had them laughing.  This DVD has over four hours of entertainment!

About:
From the outer reaches of space, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment (WBHE) brings consumers a zany, intergalactic Looney Tunes treat with the release of Duck Dodgers: Dark Side of the Duck. Available on DVD for the first time February 12, 2013, Duck Dodgers: Dark Side of the Duck stars that hilarious duck, Daffy as the heroic Captain Duck Edgar Dumas Aloysius Dodgers and Porky Pig as his trusted companion, as they blast off into outer space to protect the Earth from menacing Martian invaders. This release will feature 13 madcap episodes from the series’ first season, for a total of over four hours of hilarious Looney Tunes content. Duck Dodgers: Dark Side of the Duck will retail for $19.97 SRP.

Based on the original Looney Tunes theatrical cartoon short, Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century, Duck Dodgers is the Daytime Emmy® Award-winning animated, sci-fi series that originally aired on Kids’ WB and centers on Daffy Duck, as the hero Duck Dodgers who is charged with protecting Earth from its biggest enemy, Martians. Duck Dodgers is always ready to swoop in and save the day, the planet and the galaxy – with a little luck and a lot of help, that is. He may be an intellectual featherweight but his duckbilled laser gun counts as heavy artillery. Joining him are some all-time favorite Looney Tunes characters, which make appearances in several of the series’ episodes.

Duck Dodgers: Dark Side of the Duck features an out-of-this-world theme song, which is arranged by the Grammy-Award winning The Flaming Lips and is sung by the legendary Tom Jones. 

Duck Dodgers: Dark Side of the Duck presents viewers with a mix of clever writing, hilarious pop culture references and beautiful animation. It’s a must-own title for any Looney Tunes fan,” said Mary Ellen Thomas, Vice President Family & Animation and Partner Brands Marketing. She added, “The episodes featured on this release will delight viewers of all ages. Kids will be excited to see some of their favorite Looney Tunes characters in space-themed adventures and adults will appreciate the witty jokes and classic sci-fi references the series offers.”

Anne of Green Gables all 11 books on Kindle only 99c!

Don't miss this great deal on Anne of Green Gables - all 11 books only 99c!

Click here to go to Amazon to buy!

Did you know that many classic books are available on Kindle for FREE?

Treasure Island

Alice in Wonderland

Secret Garden


If you don't have a Kindle (or a tablet/phone with the Kindle app - which is FREE this way)  I highly suggest you look into one.  We personally have a Samsung Galaxy 2 tablet which is great because you can use the kindle app, search the web, facebook and even play games or watch movies.  I mostly use it for reading though. 

Valentine's Day Craft!

I know this is late - but better late than never.  I've really been trying to incorporate more arts and crafts into our homeschool.  Holidays and History seem to be the best fits for this but still finding the time while getting in our regular school day is more challenging.  I found this wonderful  craft at Fabulessly Frugal.  The best part was I had EVERYTHING on hand.  I bet you could even do other holidays by changing the shape.  Be sure to stop by and see her step by step instructions!

  All you need is mason jars, tissue paper, glue, water and a paint brush!

I think they came out great!  I'll be curious to see if they last in storage for next year.  (That would make them even BETTER!) 

Since Valentine's Day has actually passed I'll share a few more photos of our Homeschool Valentine's Party.

Our menu was: 
Chips and hummus
chocolate covered pretzels (the kids made those)
veggies & dip
assorted candy
chocolate cupcakes

Target had adorable serving platters and bowls so I picked up a few of those. I also had a craft for the kids but for some reason I don't have a picture of those. I just purchased them on oriental trading though because I ran out of time to design something and our age range was large so I needed crafts that everyone could do.

Hope you enjoyed this little glimpse of February. Next month is Easter and St. Patty's Day so I'm not sure what crafts to do yet! I'll keep ya posted!
