Family Night #8, St. Patrick’s Day

This ended up being a Family Morning (which, may end up working well for us since Michael’s day off is on Friday) and not on the actual day of St. Patrick, but the truth is, a two year old does not know the difference. : )

Family Night #7 – Backwards Night

Our family night this week was 100% completely plagiarized from this post (like we haven’t copied other ideas). You see, I am not a creative person, organized yes, creative no.

We all wore our baseball caps and gave each of the boys a pack of Big League Chew Gum. Michael and I snagged Matthan’s (he can’t chew gum) [...]

Family Night #2, It’s Fall!

Well, our second attempt at Family Night was not quite as successful as our first one but we stuck to it and although it was a bit chaotic we still had lots of fun! I don’t have ANY pictures to share because my camera battery was dead and the extra battery I keep in my [...]

Family Night #1, Fire Safety

I’ve been keeping a list of family night ideas since I read about them over here months ago; they just look like such a fun, creative time with family. I didn’t start them with our family because Matthan is not even two and it would have just been weird to do all of this [...]
