Charissa and I decided that we needed to have a family fun night tonight. We planned games and things to do while Britt was at work and we were ready once dinner was over. We only got to do two of the things I had planned, so I'm saving the others for another night.
We started off with a little family bowling in the kitchen. We had six solo cups set up like pins and used two nerf-like balls as bowling balls. Charissa thought the game should be played by going right up to the cups, throwing the ball at them, and then kicking whatever cups dared to still be standing. It was pretty funny to watch. And she was really good at setting up the cups after each round, so I never ended up having to do that. Unfortunately I took no pictures of this event - hopefully we'll do it again and I'll remember the camera.
After bowling we finger-painted! We had so much fun. And it became clear that none of us are painters. But that doesn't matter - we enjoyed ourselves. I did get pictures of the finger-painting.
If you ever paint with a small child, I recommend them being naked. It's just easier.
Doesn't she look like she's really considering her next move?
Charissa's beautiful artwork ...
Britt's beautiful artwork. When I asked him to "tell me about his painting" he explained that it's the African Sahara with two trees and an alligator between them and then a lake at the bottom. I think he could make it as a finger-painter.
We had a lot of fun just hanging out together as a family and playing. I'm so thankful for my wonderful husband and precious little girl. They bring so much joy to my life. And, now my refrigerator proudly displays our artwork. It's a happy home.
