We’re trying to have a family night once a week—just a time we spend together doing something! We’ve tried this before and failed, so hopefully it will work this time. Since our church has service only on Sunday mornings, we’re going to try to have our family night on Sunday nights for now and will see how it goes.
For our first family night, we all played marbles! I got this cute marble board in Holland. Normally I prefer playing on the carpet, but Greg doesn’t like getting down on the floor, so we played on the table. We thoroughly enjoyed it! Even my 3-year-old had a great time, and she did quite well for her age. After the first few rounds, she was ahead of the rest of us! However, Greg ended up winning.
Even though we played only for about 25 minutes, it was still time spent together. Every Saturday we try to get out of the house together, too, but family night is just a time to do something together at home. We have a Nintendo Wii and a whole closet full of games, and we have several family movies. We could make cookies, put a puzzle together, color, have a storytime, or maybe even have a slumber party in the living room. I don’t know, but I’d love to find some great ideas for making wonderful memories as a family. I want my children to grow up with a deep appreciation for family, and with a love for us and for each other, and with memories they’ll talk about for years to come.
Do you have a family night? What do you like doing together as a family?
