Ninja Movie Night

We love being so close to the cousins and we love our new media room so we have been having lots of sleepovers and movie nights.  I have enjoyed coming up with the menu and activities to go along with the night's theme.  I've also let a different kid choose the movie each night (thanks to DirecTV On Demand).  It was Matt's turn to choose and he wanted Home Alone...unfortunately it wasn't available until after the sleepover so he chose 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain.  I was afraid the little girls wouldn't like the movie but all of them thought it was hilarious.  They loved that the kids were beating up the bad guys and it had a slapstick feel to it.  And what kid doesn't love that!

I asked each of the kids what their favorite part of the movie.  They each chose one of the scenes where one of the kids used there ninja skills on the bad guys.  I did laugh because Sophie called one of the characters "Chocolate" (he was actually called Tom Tom).  Apparently, he always had candy so she gave him her own nickname.
