Backyard Movie Part I

It's THAT time of year again! 2 years ago, I had the idea to have movies screened in my backyard. I borrowed a projector, screen and speakers from a neighbor. I did this about 3 times and the both of us got pretty tired of schlepping everything back and forth. So last year, I bit the bullet and bought my own set-up.
This year I made up a whole new movie schedule (after sending out an email poll!)
Our first movie is this Saturday night and we are screening "Night at the Museum" to coincide with the second movie opening next Friday. Of course, I have to have a table to match the theme of the movie so I looked around my house to find "museum" pieces.
I decided the giant diamond I used for my friend's Breakfast at Tiffany's party would make a great Hope Diamond! I did a little research and found out that it is a blue diamond. I just happen to have a submersible light from Matt's grad party 2 years ago and placed it under a tissue filled square vase turned upside-down.
I also made "museum" labels for the items. Here is a replica of a dinosaur tooth from Chasen's 4th birthday---7 YEARS AGO!

I save everything!

We serve fixin's for S'Mores and toast the marshmallows in our fire pit prior to the movie.
Guests bring their own blankets and pillows and lay them on the grass to watch the flick.
I have 12 movies scheduled throughout the summer.

I will have more pictures this weekend!
