A favorite thing to do when the weather does not allow us to be outside in the evening is to have a family movie night. We don't do this every night because we concentrate on homework, laundry and housekeeping responsibilities during the week. Movie nights are reserved for weekends. Occasionally, we'll have an all-day movie marathon on a rainy or snowy Saturday or Sunday (or if there happens to be a snowday calling off school).
I want to make these viewing experiences more than plopping down in front of the television and shoving popcorn in our faces, so my goal for 2013 is to come up movie night themes. Some of these will be fun, movie night themes for the kiddos and some will be more geared for grown-ups, depending on the movie of the week. I will also try to coordinate some of the according to the season or holiday of the month.
With that said, I will take this week to plan next weekend's movie night theme after my Bug returns home and chooses our movie for the weekend.
