Fans who fell in love with Papi (voice of George Lopez) and Chloe (voice of Odette Annable) in the box office hit “Beverly Hills Chihuahua,” and their universally beloved litter of pups in “Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2” (the #1 direct-to-video title of 2011), will enjoy this exciting and playful new installment in the pedigreed franchise.It’s canine chaos as Papi’s family (dog and human) move into the posh Langham Hotel, complete with a luxurious doggy spa. But there’s trouble in puppy paradise when Rosa, the littlest member of the pack, feels smaller and less special than ever. Now it’s up to Papi to help Rosa find – and celebrate – her inner strength, which turns out to be bigger than she ever dreamed and reminds humans and canines alike of the importance of family, friends and teamwork.
Disney does a great job once again of creating a movie the entire family can enjoy together. This movie's quick humorous pace drew everyone in from my four year old twins on up to myself. And never fail, there is a bit of wisdom to be garnered in the theme. Even my little ones picked up on the importance of family message this movie touted. Ready your mock margaritas and con queso dip this weekend and check it out!
Bonus features on the disc include the featurette “Hanging with Papi,” a playful look at a typical day on-set for Papi and both his human and canine costars, and the English and Spanish versions of “Living Your Dreams” an all-new music video performed by Raini Rodriguez, star of Disney Channel’s popular series “Austin and Ally.”

I don't know about you, but since school and fall sports were in full swing I've felt like I could really use a weekend for my weekend. There was the Friday night high school football game, a 5k race at the kids school, a jr. high flag football game, and a wake of gear for me to launder all covered in sweat and grime.
With the arrival of Early Fall comes a myriad of toy launches just in time for the Holiday shopping season and we've been paying close attention here at AndTwinsMake5.com to bring you our favorites. 
They taste really great too! They're a perfect size for kids, or pair them with some yogurt or fresh fruit for yourself. I don't usually keep frozen breakfasts like this on hand, but if I know we have a crazy morning coming up I'd definitely buy Jimmy D's Breakfast Minis again. You can't beat the convenience factor, and I like that they offer a good amount of protein.

CC has had a lot of fun with this DVD, and I think a craft day is in store very soon. Noodly Doodly Things to Make, a show you might have caught on Sprout, offers kids and parents fun and easy crafts to make, including butterflies, as well as bake-sale treats. What I love is that Sean and friends Noodle and Doodle also encourage kiddos to clean up. Nice!
I'm a big fan of WordWorld. Any show that turns everyday objects into actual words and makes that fun for kids gets an A+ in my book. In WordWorld: To the Rescue, Duck and Fly want to be firefighters like their friend Firefighter Frog. But the gang -- and the kids at home -- have lots to learn about what to look for before they see a fire (*cough* smoke *cough*).
CC has really gotten into dinosaurs over the past year, so Dino Dan is always great for inspiring lots of prehistoric-based questions. In case you haven't seen it, Dan's the kid who uses his imagination to bring dinosaurs into real life -- well, only he can see them. On Dino Dan: Where the Dinosaurs Are, there are lots of story lines, from Dan teaching a baby Triceratops to outwit a hungry Spinosaurus to a sleepover adventure at the Royal Ontario Museum.
