I am way, WAY behind on posting about our movie nights. Eek! So to make it a little easier, I am going to lump some together.
We did a movie night for Imagine That which stars Eddie Murphy and Yara Shahidi. Mike and I were both a little skeptical about it since we aren't big Eddie Murphy fans (how many times can he play the same character in different movies?) but we were pleasantly surprised and the kids liked it a lot.
There is one scene in the movie when Eddie Murphy is trying to get his daughter from a birthday party and gets attacked in the ball pit. So for our treat I made mini popcorn balls (using this yummy recipe!) to look like the balls.
The next day was our turn for treats for V-girls soccer game so I made extra and packaged them the same way and they were a big hit!!
UP was a really funny movie - although it is a little heavy at the beginning (I don't usually tear up at the beginning of animated movies).
The kids actually saw this movie in the theater but they loved it and luckily like to see movies more than once.
Knowing that the main premise of the movie is a house being carried by a huge bunch of balloons, I was determined to make a treat that incorporated this. I made mini gingerbread houses out of graham crackers and frosting and then uses floral wire to attached the floating "balloons". I would have liked to have had more balloons but I ran out of time.
Next up: Christmas Movies!
