whatever: movie party....in MOMs room!

I am always looking for fun ways to spend time with my kids.

3M sent a projector to help us be creative with family time.
i couldn't wait to use it.

My mind was immediately full of ideas!

We have an outdoor movie party every year at the end of summer. 
We provide every kind of topping you can imagine and our guests bring their favorite 
kinds of ice cream.

In the past we've borrowed a projector, but now we have the 3M? Mobile Projector!

It's small and portable and hooks up to an iTouch, iPod, iPad or even my laptop -- amazing!

Most of the time I am not up for hosting a big party with lots of prep and planning. 
But we always have family night on Fridays. It's usually pizza and board games.

this week I surprised the kids with a formal invitation to my party.

All we need for family night is us!
Just seeing that sign made my three youngest completely thrilled.
We piled onto my bed and used our new 3M projector to make memories together. 
Comfy jammies were required, slippers were also in attendance. 
We needed LOTS of soft pillows and favorite blankets.

 
I popped popcorn, bought chocolate chip cookies and we used water bottles for drinks.
Actually, we even shared water bottles, because we are family! 
I don't think I can watch a movie without Mike & Ike's so i made sure we had those too.
My little girls were very excited. They love to be cuddly with me and with their dad.
The hardest part of the entire evening was choosing a movie! 
We watch lots of movies so it was a challenge to pick one that keeps their interest 
and that they haven't seen. My favorite family movie is "The Emperor's New Groove," so we almost 
chose that. But we hadn't seen HUGO so i went with that one. I rented it from iTunes, downloading 
on the iTouch. The kids found their comfy spot and settled in. There was just barely enough room 
for us, but the squishier the better when it comes to cuddling!
We loved spending time together in a fun new way. You don't need a big party to have fun. 
Sometimes the best times are when you are just together, even if you're smooshed. Ha ha ha!

The 3M projector will be great for slumber parties, camping, team parties...so many possibilities! 
It's so small we can even take it on vacation.
It turns your tiny little iTouch into a movie theater -- that's awesome! 
You can get an additional cable to hook it up to PCs if you don't have the i-products. 
It is also able to be hooked up to bigger speakers for more sound.
It's available at Target.
