Family Night - Dog Night

It's been a long time since we did a family night, but we had a great time and hopefully the next one wont be too long from now.  We did dog night tonight.  We made dog bones and dog bowls to eat out of.

Cameron forgot he was Bolt so he wrote Cam on one side of his bone.

I took Princess for a walk.

Haley took Sparky for a walk.

We ate hot DOGS.

We also had cubed hash browns that really looked like dog food in Ty's bowl.  (Cameron named BJ's and my dog.)

Cameron even dressed up as a dog with his Blues Clues Costume.  

Then we watched a dog movie - Marley & Me

It was such a fun night.  Bolt said "This is the best night ever!"  He kept asking if we can do it again.  Of course we can, Bolt!  :)

Family Night - Under The Sea!

I stole the idea from a blogger whom I have never met to have a themed family night.  The kids and I decided it would be more fun if we invited Sam & Toby, so we did.  We made an ocean out of crepe paper and the kids got creative and put the slide in front so they could slide under.  They hit their heads a few times but they didn't care one bit.  We cut fish and bubbles out of blue paper to put inside our ocean.  The kids wore their swimsuits and goggles too.

Haley goes for a swim!  Notice Sam is already under water?
We ate Octopus and sea shells!

Yummmm....Octopus is delicious!
We fished for goldfish!  Cameron was a really good fisherman.

Haley did a great job too, she just wasn't too sure about how close to get to them!
We played in the ocean trying to catch 'fish.'
And Aunt Jeny had a great idea to make snow globes.  They have Nemo figurines in a baby food jar with water and glitter. So cool!

It was so much fun to do and the kids loved it.  I really want to try to do it once a week but I think I might need to wait until after the holidays because it is just WAY too hectic right now.  I already bought some circus hats and big clown ties so I think the next theme night will be Under the Big Top.  Keep checking to see when it takes place!  Big thanks to Aunt Jeny for thinking up some cool stuff to do.
