Race to Witch Mountain and Narnia Movie Nights

A few weeks ago we were able to fit 2 movie nights into 1 weekend!

On Friday, we watched Race to Witch Mountain. The movie was actually pretty good! The kids thought it was interesting and fun, my husband like the action and adventure and I liked... THE ROCK!!! LOL! He could probably make a documentary about slow growing plants worth watching.

For the treats, we made giant UFO cookies. We made the flat base part of the UFOs out of sugar cookies. Against my better judgment, I used store bought dough (never as good in my opinion, but so much quicker and easier). For the dome in the center, we used snowballs which were are biggest challenge. We drove ALL OVER TOWN before we were able to find 2 packages (4 snowballs total). But after an hour of driving and running into convenience stores, Walgreens and supermarkets we were successful! For the lights, we cut Mike and Ike's in half.

We each decorated our own and the kids had a lot of fun helping make and decorate their PUFOs (Personal Unidentified Flying Objects as K-man called them).

You can probably tell which PUFOs are the kids'. They are lit up a lot more than Mike and I's!

The PUFOs were so big it took us all weekend to eat them.

On Sunday night, we watched The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe.

I bought bean bag chairs for the bonus room and the kids were looking for any reason possible to pull them downstairs and use them.

We have all seen Narnia before but we have never had a movie night with it and this seemed like as good as time as any.

Our treats were Turkish Delight (I used sugared fruit chews) wrapped up in white tissue paper and green ribbon.
