Backyard Movie Fun!



Recently Kohls was having "the biggest sale of the season," and they had a projector for a good price. I've been talking about wanting to get one so that we could watch movies in our backyard, so we decided to get it. This weekend we used it for the first time, and it was REALLY fun! On Friday we watched Beauty and the Beast, and Anna cuddled with me under a blanket while we watched. She loved how big the screen was, and she kept calling Belle "White," because I guess she must think all princesses are Snow White! We also had the outdoor fireplace going, and it was a very lovely, cozy experience! She got really tired about halfway through and wanted to go to bed, so she wasn't able to watch the whole thing.

This evening we watched another movie outside; this time Snow White (Anna's favorite princess). We lit the fire again, and Anna started off by sitting in her own chair. She seemed to get a little scared of the magic mirror, however, and ended up cuddling with me again before the movie even began. That was certainly fine with me! We had the fireplace going again too, despite it being a fairly warm night. I couldn't believe it, but she sat and watched the entire movie! I mean, she was even paying attention the whole time, which is quite an accomplishment for a not-even-2-year-old! She does love Snow White and got excited every time she came on the screen, but she also liked the dwarfs (but not the evil queen!) Once the movie was over, she happily went to bed clutching her Snow White shirt! Yet another wonderful evening with my wonderful little girl!!!!
