Last weekend our movie pick for Family Movie Night was Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Have you had a chance to watch this yet? It has was on my Netflix queue list of movies to check out but somehow was moved down the list. I finally decided to scan my queue and move it to the top. We all enjoyed this one. Even my husband stayed up to catch the end. In my typical “mommy” mind set I kept wondering (out loud) with all the food dropping from the sky why didn’t they think to save some for later? At least freeze your favorites, lol. One of our favorite parts is when Flint has his first snowball fight with ice cream. He was running around town throwing snowballs at unprepared children and adults. We could not stop laughing and had to rewind it a few times! Steve the Monkey is pretty funny too. When I watched the credits later I noticed Bruce Campbell was the voice of the mayor. I am surprised I did not even catch it. I did catch the voices of James Caan and Mr. T though.
Last night we watched Monsters vs Aliens. We picked another good one. The kids were excited to watch it and could not get their treats together quick enough. This week we had popcorn and italian ice cups. I try to switch it up a little each week. It included some funny references to Area 51 and explained how each of these monsters came to be. You will not be able to stop yourself from laughing throughout the movie. From the general that always wears a parachute, to the genuis cockroach, to the not so smart president. It was also great to see the “Monsters” come together and help one another.
Thursday I went to the library and along with some great books to read, I was able to get some good movies as well. I wanted to grab something for Movie Night. I grabbed The Hannah Montana Movie, 
and Tinkerbell. I am a Scooby Doo fan from way back so that is why I picked this movie. It aired on Cartoon Network back in September and we missed it. The dvr messed up somehow. I let the kids pick and luckily they wanted to see it too. We have the first two Scooby Doo movies, but they are scratched up so I am hoping to find them on sale somewhere.
We ordered 2 meat pizzas from Sam’s Club, had chips, treats from Nestle, popcorn and made soda. Yeah, I said made soda. We used the 
I was sent to review a while back. I was waiting for the right time to try it out. What better time than movie night! I was a little nervous because I was not sure how it would work. So I gave my dad the job of making the soda. We were sent a few flavors but we voted on orange and root beer. I almost forgot about the water and it needs to be ice cold so if you get one make sure to have some on hand. It comes with two 1 liter bottles that you can add the water too and stick them in the freezer for a little while. It works good that way. My dad read the simple instructions and attached the carbonator to the back of the machine. The kids filled the bottle up with water and brought it to my dad. He screwed it into the front of the Soda Stream. He held down the button and added the fizz. Then he unscrewed the bottle and we added a capful of orange flavor. Then we did it again for root beer and it made a loud buzz sound when he pressed the button all the way down. So we figured we did not do the orange right and screwed it back on to the Soda Stream. Not a good idea. We had soda spilling everywhere!! I could not stop laughing. So we now know to be sure to hold the button all the way and wait to hear 3 buzzes 
The bulb cost almost $250 to replace. So we have been debating whether to replace the bulb or just upgrade. Which is why we
