Movie Night

Bridger always wants to watch a movie when his friends come to play.  I think that defeats the purpose of having kids over to play.  So I promised before the summer was over we would have a movie night.  I had planned on really making it big, but time is running out and I have many things planned for the last few weeks of summer.
Derek is on a High Adventure trip with the scouts, I had an amazing friend come take my kids for a few hours today....the stars had aligned.  I decided tonight was the perfect night.  So at 4:00 I started calling friends (will have to return the cute invites I had planned on using)  I got home from my time away at 5:00.  By 6:00 we had 8 kids at our door ready for a party.
I just had enough time to feed my kids and make a few signs.  Bridger was so disappointed that we weren't having tickets so I made a few of those too.

Bridger greeted them at the door and gave them their ticket to get into the movie and a ticket for popcorn and candy.  He was dead serious about this job-if they didn't have a ticket they didn't get ANYTHING!  We had to make a few exceptions.

We had a short intermission so they could play Red light/Green light.

Lilly and Isaak cleaned popcorn out of the pool.

It was a fun night.  Everyone had a great time.

There was an "exclusive after-party" for Mom only....

I hope popcorn and gobstoppers are the worst things I will ever have to clean up after a party my kids have!
