I don't know about you, but I LOVE awards season: the red carpet looks, sappy speeches and all.  The girls love to sit and watch the pre-shows with me, but they aren't quite old enough for the main event. This year, I think they're ready for the Kids' Choice Awards now that they have ventured away from their "baby TV shows", as they call them.  The official drink of the awards is Capri Sun Roaring Waters. These are a staple in our house since they are low in sugar and a switch up from plain water. At Walmart, you can pick up 30 pack team boxes right in the regular juice aisle--perfect for the warmer months coming up!

Although we do regulate their screen time quite a bit, they are allowed to be more lax on the weekends.  The 2015 Kids' Choice Awards air on Nickelodeon March 28th at 8:00 EST, we are prepared to watch the orange carpet and more--the girls love live performances!  I made the mistake of telling the twins about the show a bit early and now they have been talking about it non-stop--they can't believe I'm letting them stay up late!  Watch closely on Nick and you'll see funny commercials promoting the show with your favorite characters.

You can't have an awards show night without tasty snacks, so we tested out some JELL-O flavored popcorn balls that I've been eying on Pinterest.  They are SO easy to whip up and you can use any JELL-O flavor you want!  Gabby chose strawberry with chocolate chips--tastes like a chocolate covered strawberry!  I think Cookies + Cream would be a fun one to try...or even coconut! Possibilities are endless!  These will be the perfect snack to wash down with a Capri Sun Roaring Waters.

Strawberry Chip JELL-O Popcorn Balls

Here's what you need:

• 4 Tablespoons of Butter
• NOTE: I tried to sub coconut oil and it did NOT work
• 10 oz. package of Jet Puffed Mini Marshmallows
• Small box of sugar free strawberry JELL-O (0.3 oz)
• 1 cup popcorn kernels (popped makes about 10-11 cups)
• Sub 2 bags of unflavored microwave popcorn
• Chocolate chips to sprinkle (about 1/2 cup)

1. In a small saucepan, melt butter.  Slowly fold in marshmallows until melted.  Remove from heat.
2. Sprinkle in JELL-O and stir.
3. With popcorn in a large bowl, slowly pour marshmallow mixture over popcorn and stir.  Prepare to get sticky!!  Sprinkle in chips and mix together--some may melt a bit.
4. Grab a handful and roll into a ball shape.
• Tip: spray hands with cooking spray before forming balls. 
5. Store in an airtight container.  Enjoy!

To keep the Kids' Choice Awards fun, I created a fun 2015 Kids Choice Awards scavenger hunt for the kids to do during the show.  At first I considered BINGO, but figured there would be some arguments to I kept the sheet the same.  There are Capri Sun Roaring Water breaks, also fun things to look for during the show: silly outfits, jokes, etc.  I found neon circle stickers for $1 at Walmart, perfect to use instead of BINGO markers!

Tip: the prizes can be super simple, like a sucker or even index cards with "10 Minutes Kindle Time" or "Library Trip with Mom".  No need to go crazy!  The fact that the kiddos get to stay up late is more than enough of a prize, right?

I would say that we are more than prepared for our fun night!  Another special treat that we love are FROZEN Capri Sun Roaring Waters.  Turns out just like a slushy.  Simply freeze for 2 hours or until barely frozen, then slice the edges off and leave in the straw.  Perfect on a hot summer day too!
