Knill Family Theater

After playing outside together all day Lauren and her 2 friends were disappointed that the sun started going down and that meant, everybody in. Hunter was excited toward the end of the day because to him that meant, his 2 favorite people, his cousins, were coming to sleep over. So there I was pondering. . . how could I make all these kids happy? Well we seperated the sectional to make "movie seats" and downloaded a movie on our Playstation 3-so long Blockbuster! We just order up a movie through the video game system!

What's a movie theater without concessions? After all, it was the dinner hour so Todd and I teamed up, took orders and made pbj's, doritoes and grapes. Served with their choice of Gatorade.
What's concession's without cookie ice cream sandwiches? Of course, they were a big hit!
So at the end of the night, we were able to not only please everyone from 2-14 years old, but we had a ton of fun! The kids thought it was cool to make "rows" and everyone was asked to follow the rules of any other movie theater. They all behaved very well and enjoyed the show and Todd & I enjoyed having the kids over!

Thanks for having the boys over! Even though it was against my "no more sleepover" rule, I'm glad they had a great time and everyone was good.

YEA MELANIE AND TODD!!! You two are the most ambitions people I know. You're always thinking about how to make the children happy. How about that??? A movie theatre in your own family room. And food besides!!! Who needs Hollywood Boulevard?? The Knill's have their own movies and good food.
Keep up the good work.
Love ya, Mom
