This is the best, simple rattle for babies. The two bars make it easy to grasp, and it makes the perfect rattle sound when baby shakes it. Not so noisy that it's annoying or disruptive, but...

I LOVE cooking with canned fire-roasted tomatoes! They add a little something extra to every dish whether it be chili or spaghetti sauce. Before finding the Hunt's, I had to pay twice the price...

We do this! :)

Dinner and a Movie nights!

Sometimes even get the meal to coordinate with the flick - sometimes not.

We all meet in the kitchen to load a plate & fix a glass of beverage, then we all plop into our favorite spots in the basement den to watch the big TV with several speakers.

What fun!

Have also done popcorn in the same type of individual containers, + mini candy bars + dill pickles + soda pops.

Makes a stay-at-home-movie so much fun! :)

Find a teacher friend that has a projector just sitting around her classroom, collecting dust all summer. Takes only a few minutes to hook up. My kids LOVE to watch movies outside on our wall......they lay in the trampoline with blankets and pillows......we even hook it up by the pool on special occasions and have a DIVE IN movie night!!!
