Is it legal to have so many people on one bed to watch a movie?
There’s nothing more fun in our family than to pile in to mom and dad’s (that’s our) bed and watch movies. I’m just so thankful we had bought a king sized bed before our daughter was born (almost 15 years ago). We have sure needed the room for movie night! Now that our sons are grown, our 3 grand daughters and daughter in law have been added.
We have a game that’s called ‘Last one who sits down has to turn off the lights’ so it gets wiggly youngsters in their places pretty quick! So, easy snacks are a must when we are getting ready to jump into the best place we can find on the bed!
Being that I’m going to have to sleep in said bed after the movie is over, I make sure to have snacks available that are not too crumbly. Here is a personal recipe I’ve put together.
Sweet and Salty Snack
- 2 to 3 cups tiny pretzels or pretzel sticks
- 2 to 3 cups M&M’s
- 2 to3 cups Cheez-its or other small cheese snack cracker of your choice.
- 1 cup raisins (if desired)
Mix all in a large bowl and serve.
I find it best to give out small bowls of the mix. If not, my 3 year old grand daughter (the middle child) will go through the whole large bowl eating only M&M’s and will ping off the walls the rest of the night. That’s not a good night sleep for Nana and Papa!
