First, I made an invitation for him and gave it to him the day before the date. I've included a printable for you to access and print out at home. Click here for the invitation printable.
The date started out by us making a huge blanket fort in our family room. And yes, we built ours around our couch so that we didn't have to sit on the floor. We aren't as spry as we were when we were 10 years old ;)
Here is the beauty itself! We were pretty proud ;) This picture was taken from the back.
After the fort was built, we sat inside and watched an animated movie that we had not seen ("Flushed Away") while we ate some of our favorite treats from our childhoods.
You could also start out the date by having a kid-like dinner (macaroni and cheese, pizza etc.) before you watch the movie as well!
It was so much fun doing things together that we used to love to do when we were kids. We spent the night laughing and being silly. What's better than that?!
