Drive-In Movie Night

Family fun magazine had a great idea for a drive-in movie night with cars made out of boxes. I gathered the troops for double the fun crazy girl time. We had 7 girls over to make cars on a Thursday and the movie night on Friday. Besides the 7 girls who joined us, we had our two girls, 2 girl babies.....and Ridge. What a lucky guy. The girls chose a color and painted paper plates for wheels, then made license plates while the moms cut and taped boxes together to make the car bodies. We moved the furniture back to make a big enough parking lot for all of the cars. Holly brought over her never ending roll of tickets that she uses for every party. We gave each of the girls four tickets. They used them to "buy" their nachos, juice boxes, caramel popcorn and movie ticket. We watched The Tale of Desperaux, which we just finished reading to the girls. The movie wasn't very impressive and because of our ancient T.V. and lots of background noise it was hard to hear. Before long the parking lot was empty. Ridge took over a few cars and ended up getting in a car accident. No injuries reported. Everyone had a great time.
