Blog Entry Saturday: Blanket Fort and Movies

Scary movies by candlelight are fun, but what's even funner is building a blanket fort and watching from inside. 

This fort I constructed was on my recliner sofa. I put a sheet down on the sofa and then proceeded to build up around it with the blankets draped over things so I had a little watching nook. Since there was a table with cup holders on the right hand side inside the tent, I was able to have snacks and drinks there.

The more exciting ones are made with pillows and even twinkle lights or battery-operated candles. 

There are some great movies for watching inside of blanket forts, but here's some I'd suggest if you want to do a marathon watching. Consider teaming them up with an ideal drink for you and your partner to watch the films -
