8-17-2009 Monday - Summertime Family Night!

Tonight, after our lesson, we went over to Melinda Park and had a silly string fight. It was so much fun! I highly recommend doing this with your family some time. Everyone was running all over, shooting our little cans of colored string.

Holly got plastered while she was still trying to get the dogs hooked up to the tree!

Drew used his spray sparingly and got everyone at the end really good!

The aftermath on Sasha!

Jeff and us all did K.P.

Later, the kids and Jeff played tag and of course, it's always one of these two who always get injured. Tonight it was Jeff stubbing his poor big toe. :(

The other day the kids cleaned up our neighbors house, the Juergans', that had gotten tee peed while they were out of town. So they made us homemade chocolate chip cookies as a thank you and put them in these cute little boxes. It was a perfect family night treat!

Then Holly got out "The Sticks", as we call them. This is a little game we keep by our kitchen table. It is a Chinese fortune telling game where you shake the sticks in the container and the one that jumps out at you and stays up is the one you pick.

There is a number on the stick and you look it up in this book. The fortunes are little poems and tell you if you will get the wish you made too! We all make wishes and go around the table to find out our fortune! Santa brought these to us one year, but I'm sure you can find them somewhere in China Town!

I'm glad you had a good time at family night. We felt a little bad holding Annie's party on Monday, but it was literally the only day we had before she left for school, so forgive us for taking Drew away! Looks like it was fun.
