I had long desired to implement a “Family Night” in our family, and this year, we finally did it. We started out by having our Family Night on Fridays. It usually consisted of some sort of game or movie and maybe a snack. Then around once a month our Family Night would move outside of the house for a fun family outing.
And now our “Family Night” has evolved to a “Family Day”. This is mainly because there are so many budget friendly things to do in our area that I thought making it Family Day would better fit our family in this season of life (It may move back to nights at home after I have baby number 5 in December!). Plus, on Family Nights, sometimes the games we’d play or movies we’d watch would be a good idea for the older kids, but not so much for our 4yr. old and 2yr. old.
On one of our most recent Family Days, we got to build a scarecrow together. It was a lot of fun. Just take a look.
Laugh if you must at our scarecrow. π I did. This was actually the first time we’ve ever built a scarecrow together as a family. But, I think, overall….he didn’t turn out too bad.
Then again, I think we did go a little overboard in the hip area. You think?
Anyway, Family Day works for us! π
