A couple of weeks ago, several of my friends had husbands out of town for the weekend or deployed, so we were trying to think of something fun to do while they were away. My friend Geneva has a movie projector and screen, and I've always wanted to have a movie night outside, so we joined forces and had it at my house. This time of year the weather is perfect when the sun goes down, and we don't have mosquitoes. It couldn't be a better set up. We hung the screen from our balcony with rope.
Everyone brought treats to share. The kids got their own popcorn and treat bags, not to mention glow bracelets, soda (in a cup with a lid and straw - just like the movies), and even cotton candy.
Geneva made these delicious and super cute Oreo truffles. One plate stayed outside with the kids, and one plate, inside with the Moms. They're my favorite!
Jenn Allred's mother-in-law made cotton candy for all the kids. It was a huge hit!
The movie started at 7:30 sharp! The sun goes down early here. All the kids cuddled together and watched the new Tinkerbell movie that had just come out to DVD.

What a fun night! I love how many fun snacks you guys had. What a great idea.
You guys look like you are having some a great time there. Kids are growing up. It is so funny seeing Connie Allred on your blog. She did my mom's hair for years and I have been to her a few times myself.
What a great night! We will have to do it over here some night. Just as long as I have can have the two electronic geniuses!!
That looks like it was so much fun! How do you make those oreo truffles?
How fun. What a great idea.
