Family Fun Day

We try to have "Family Fun Night" every month or so, it's usually simple like ordering pizza and watching a movie of Alyssa's choosing. It's funny how ordinary things can be so fun for kids when you give it a fun name like "Family Fun Night". Saturday we tried to make a day of it, but it was really pretty ordinary for the most part.



Nate and Alyssa being silly. I forget what the were doing but Nate was making funny noises and Alyssa wanted to do it too :)



We had mickey mouse pancakes. Mason didn't get any but he was still as happy as can be.


We ran some errands to get firewood and some other supplies. Then we went to the park to play. This park has a merry-go-round! Haven't seen one in years.




Alyssa helping to build our first fire. It was a little smokey, but it was fun. Anyone have any advice on wood that doesn't stink up the house?



Getting cozy before the movie.




Mason was very intrigued by the fire.



Making our first s'mores in our fireplace.



We learned Alyssa isn't a huge fan of s'mores. She took one bite and was done with it. She did like the chocolate and graham crackers by themselves though.



Our little pumpkins:) This was before we tried to go the pumpkin patch. We got there and it was cold and very crowded. There were at least 3 bus loads full of kids, so we'll try it again another day. We saved the day by going to Focus instead. A great family weekend!
