Movie Night

Last Tuesday, the 27th of July, we had our first ever family movie night. The kids have never seen a full length movie before! I am not a big TV fan, therefore, the kids watch slim to none. So we decided to have a movie night. I rented the movie Earth. It is basically a documentary of animals. It was actually a perfect movie for them. Kind of boring, but the excitement was staying up late and eating in the living room, so we enjoyed our boring movie of a polar bear, whale, elephant, and other animals. We had the kids get ready for bed in our room while we set up the movie room. We put their little table in there to hold their drinks and popcorn. Lit some candles, turned all the lights off, slid the ottoman close to the couch so we could all be comfy and then they were allowed in. They were so excited. As you can see from the first pic, that eating in the living room was something they really weren't prepared for. They all ended up getting a chair and eating at the table despite us telling them that it was ok for their special night. Hey, I am not complaining - there weren't any spills!! They also wanted Oreos and ice cream. They were spoiled on movie night and they can't wait for the next one. Now I just have to find another full length movie I approve of! Preferably a cartoon - Chloe said she wanted the polar bears to sing and dance on the movie - sorry girl!!

All of us snuggled up on the couch! The flash was so bright, that is why we look blind! Oh, and Finley did not participate in the festivities - way past her bed time! And they do have their popcorn on the couch, but they were almost done and they ended giving them all to us. But they were proud that they ventured away from the little table!
