Driveway Drive-In

O.G.
That sounds like a fun and great time, cool idea. I wish I were there.

We do it every Saturday night, weather permitting!

We do it every Saturday night, weather permitting!

Right now it's starting to rain.

This past Saturday's Drive in was almost cancelled as Mrs. OG has been sick, but she decided that after sleeping all day, that she would bundle up and weather it.

We busted out "Abbott & Costello meet Frankenstein" which, after "Mad Monster Party" is Little Mans' First Universal Monster movie for him. It was priceless.

He was hooked from the Monster/ A&C Skeleton animation in the opening title sequence, and was mesmirized the entire time. We were just ecstatic. He LOVES the monster, and calls from Frankenstein (very clearly for a 2 yr 8 mo old) He likes Dracula too. Now, with the Wolf Man, well let's say, the furry one made Little Man a little nervous. He went rigid everytime the Wolf Man came on screen, and would periodically pull his blanket over his eyes! We WERE LOVING IT, and so did he!

At the end of the film, he clapped!

Sunday, he wanted to watch it again, and watched it twice during the day. Now, he usually is playing while one of his videos were on. for this film, his attention was fixed on the TV!

Ah...Monsterkids, the NEW Generation.

A very proud, OG

That's a great story OG, sounds like how we all were when we first saw ACMF. A true monsterkid in the making.

We had rain Saturday night, so no movie this weekend      I think we are on a bi-monthly schedule at this point. OG- sounds great!  The little guy is precious with his blanket filter. I recently taught my grandson the hand over your eyes filter.  I did it in front of him while watching Generator Rex, which is scary for me, and now he peeps through his hand filter just for fun! I'm thinking about Mad Monster Party next weekend, but our projector only does mp3s. I'll either have to re-buy it on Itunes or somehow put the dvd into the projector. Oh man......I'll ask my offspring, they always know EVERYTHING!  Anyways, I need ideas about what snacks should accompany the movie. Maybe some kind of potion-ish food and drinks.

Ah, since Mom was under the weather, we just barbecued some chicken, made some parslied/chive golden potatoes and peas.

Perhaps you might do a new england or manhattan Clam chowder or a Mmmmmm Maryland Crab soup....Or a fondue! meat veggie and cheese skewers. If you don;t have one, you can usually find inexpensive Fondue sets at Walmart/ Kmart or Target. One of my favorites too, you might like to try, is (Baltimore) Raven's Wings! LMK and I'll send ya my recipe.
