We love our family movie nights. We have at least one every weekend, and we switch off who gets to pick the movie. But this time it was unanimous- Incredibles 2 is now on Blu-ray and we watched it as soon as it arrived!
We saw the movie in theaters back in June but it was just as good as it was the first time we saw it. It even had some really fun bonus features, like the new short “Auntie Edna” that is pretty much a seamless deleted scene from the movie. It was such a fun short that showed what Edna Mode and Jack Jack got up to when Bob had Edna babysit- it was even funnier than you would expect from the two funniest characters in the movie!
That’s not all- the Blu-ray is loaded with special bonus features. Check it out:

We were so excited about the movie coming out that I decided to make it into a hands-on activity. I pulled an assortment of craft supplies from the garage {shiny foam stickers, felt, poof balls, and of course glitter glue} and picked up some blank masks from the craft store for less than a dollar each.
We sat around the table and decorated the masks however we wanted and had so much fun!
We each made our own unique masks: Shane went full-on with the green glitter glue, Zac went full-on with EVERYTHING, and I went with red in honor of the Parr family and then lots of fun stars. I think they turned out pretty cute, what do you think?
If you’re looking for the perfect family movie night flick, be sure to pick up Incredibles 2 on Blu-ray {or download it on digital}! You can find it at a store near you or on Amazon.
Have you seen Incredibles 2? Which member of the family do you relate to?
