Movie night is always a blast at my house, but it’s even better when Fox Home Entertainment sends me goodies to make it a real event! Last weekend we celebrated Shrek’s 15 year anniversary! Can you believe it? So, we had a Swampathon! That’s right, 4 movies starring Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, and my fave Puss N Boots.
Our movie night lasted all weekend long! It’s been beautiful outside so I had some tired boys at night that needed to relax. I gave them some Swampcorn and we started with the first Shrek of course. They demanded more Shrek, but it was late. It would have to wait.
We started a bit earlier the next night. The boys had lemonade in their frosty Shrek Swamp Talk mugs. The husband even got into it while eating his yummy avocado burrito!. I had completely forgotten that I had been wearing my Orge ears for hours and not one of these guys said anything to me! LOL!
My boys gave me a hard time about playing pin the tail on Donkey, but once we started playing they loved it. Sometimes these two think they are bigger than they really are, as an adult I like a good game too!
They didn’t get even close to pinning it on the right spot! We had some good laughs though! I hope this inspires you to have you own Shrek movie night. We still have one Shrek movie left to watch and I plan on having these two help me bake some Gingy bread cookies for a #ShrekBakeNight.
Be sure to pick up your copy of Shrek 1-4 the Anniversary Edition and have your own Swampathon!
Do you have family movie night? Do you do anything special?

Wait a minute…15 years? Am I reading that right?
It seems like only last week we introduced our kids to “Puss in boots” and “Donkey”.
Crazy how fast time goes by… crazy!!
