impromptu family night







As of about 7:00 last night, we still had absolutely nothing planned for family night. We are horrible, I know. But all the different ideas just didn't sound good last night. All of the kids wanted to go somewhere and eat. However, Ben doesn't like using going out to eat as an activity. He likes it to be actually doing something together-besides eating. I wasn't in the mood to go swimming. We kind of had decided to just go do something on Friday. The pool or something. But then I remembered we have a ward activity on Friday. Back to the drawing board. After dinner, Ben took Vale out to catch a football with him. The next thing I knew, Harmony and Connor were out there too. So I dragged Ethan away from the playstation and grabbed Ivan. We just played catch and ran around together outside. Ben walked with Harmony while she rode her scooter. It was a great time spent outside. And it wasn't too hot like it usually is around here. It was nice. Ethan did get hit in the back with the football, but came back outside after awhile. Even though it wasn't perfectly planned it was nice to spend some time together!
