A Virtual World of Live Pictures.

As I sit at my desk and look out the window, it’s already dark outside and it’s not even 5pm yet! While I love the fall season, the only brake is the lack of sun in the late afternoon. Of course it also has its advantages. I find that I can get Hudson to bed earlier because it’s so dark and he thinks it’s so late. An added benefit is hosting an outdoor movie night and being able to start the movie at 5pm and have my little guests stay up for the entire movie.

Yes, there is a cold air, but that’s what the blankets are for. We also light our fire pit for additional heat.

Are you interested in enjoying an outdoor movie night?

Here’s some inspiration:

When we built our deck, one of the best parts of our new outdoor space was our amazing outdoor furniture. I love having an actual outside section that my whole family can sit in.

For movie night, I just moved from the section to the grass. The outdoor furniture is so light that it was very simple.

I made sure to fill the couch with comfy cushions and have extra blankets for people to snuggle up in or lay out on the grass and watch the movie from there. By blankets I actually mean I went to Joanns and picked up a fleece of pills and cut blankets 2 yards long. Ready! No sewing, no fraying! Also, I was able to use a 40% coupon and it was a steal!

I filled a wooden box with dollar treats from the Dollar Tree and mini soda cans with straws. I heated up premade pretzels and added them to my snack table as well.

Of course it’s movie night without popcorn! I bagged upon bags of popcorn and filled it in a basket. I then provided guests with popcorn bags, spray butter, and all sorts of goodies so they could make their own custom popcorn treats.

I made sure to include savory and sweet options:

My personal favourite:

I also made some of my favorite Nuetlla pizzas. Hmm! So good!

I also topped off my concession stand with a hot chocolate bar!

Mugs, hot chocolate, and marshmallows are a great start to any hot chocolate bar, but I also added some Andean mints, white chocolate chips, and caramel chips.

What else could be better than some laughs, delicious food, and hanging out with your nearest and dearest!
