Richard doesn't often try to come up with new things to do (not enough brain cells left after he's finally done with all that homework!) but when he does, they are GOOD ideas. His latest idea? Theme nights. Since he needs something to look forward to at the end of a busy week, he suggested theme night for Fridays. We choose a theme and have a dinner that goes with it as well as a movie or activity that we can do with the girls. This week was a camping theme. We were going to make tinfoil dinners but ran out of time so we had those the next night and we tried to set up the tent in our living room and it was too big to fit...but we still had a lot of fun! We got out the sleeping bags, turned off all the lights, and played cards by the light of our flashlights.
We also roasted marshmallows over the stove
and went "fishing" for goldfish crackers (sorry no pictures of that). Then we took turns telling stories and ended the night by singing fun songs we used to sing at girl's/scout camp. Kaylee is still too young to get the whole theme night thing, but it didn't stop her from having fun (and eating MOUNDS of marshmallows)! I'm not naive enough to think we'll actually do it every week (after all, we don't want to run out of creative juices before the kids can really enjoy it!) but I'm hoping at least once a month we'll pull it off. Anybody have good ideas for some other fun nights we can do??

Love, love, love the idea. You two have been the most creative couple in the world. After most people get married, they quit trying to think of creative things to do together, but you two are amazing.
Love her cheeser over the stove. I have TUNZ of ideas for you. I'll have to make a list. This is GREAT!
