A blessing of summer=SLEEPING IN! Including Dadda who doesn't have to set an alarm in order to get anywhere on time. Since this is the case, we told the kids we could build a fort in the classroom & watch movies on the wall. We typically watch weekly movies in the backyard in the summer, but it is still too cold at night, so this was Option B!
First Step:
Dad helped the kids make Chex Mix. This is SUCH a Martone thing :) It's no exception for these 2 Martone's either! They are young & already addicted to some homemade Chex Mix! Of course, once dad mentions "cooking" of any sort, these to book it like lightning to put on their "Chefs" :)
the seasonings....mmmmmmmm-smells nummy
How do you like the multi colored kitchen??? Sweet huh? Still not done with that project. It's #147 on the list :)
HIGH FIVE! We did it!
Step 2:
Em & Mom built the fort....we were going to do it the old fashioned way-you know, dining room chairs, blankets, etc....but the awning was already set up in the backyard from a function we had recently so I thought that looked easier. I WAS RIGHT! lol Em was ever so excited to go inside & collect up EVERY blanket we own & bring them out for the cause.
Step 3:
The movie set up...thank you Dadda! We used our outdoor movie screen for the 4th wall of the fort-worked out AMAZINGLY well. That thing is HUGE!
We had Grandma & Papa's Aerobed here, so that made it even better....no sleeping on the floor. This was the first time we've used it-pretty awesome little contraption!
MOVIE TIME!
Step 4:
Don't forget the snacks!
(*NOTE-I have since given away all the christmas jams-this stinker lives for long sleeves & pants-even in the middle of the summer and is QUITE ticked at me for their recent disappearance. Sorry dude. It HAD to be done.)
Hooray for Family Nights!
