family night #9: Big Top Circus"...
oh boy...it was one of those nights where family night didn't go so smoothly (more on that later). anyways, we did circus night tonight...i copied jacinda (they did this one last week), but it looks like they "pulled it off" a little better. enjoy the pics...
we started off by making pizza's that were supposed to kinda look like clowns...
as you can see...it didn't really work (we tried to use pieces of pepperoni to make the eyes, nose & mouth...nope! (we should have gotten olives and peppers like they did)...oh well.
then, we all took turns making silly (embarrassing) faces...that we'll probably wish we had thought twice about before putting them on the blog :)
my turn...
then, came the face painting...i think that's the only part of the night that went "as planned". everything went down hill after this. leia wanted to take a picture, so we let her & then kaia wanted to, so leia took off running with the camera and threw it in the kitchen sink (into a bowl with a little water in it), so kaia couldn't get it. long story short...after a few minutes, it worked again. arrrrggghh.
then, kaia put on her one-girl-show, a little acrobatic act...
we finished off the night with some "balloon cupcakes"...
and one more silly face!
did i mention that i think i might change our family night to one a month instead of once a week...i'm running out of ideas. is that lame?

Just so you know most family nights do not go as planned. When kids are involved it never does! Love the hats! No it is not lame to do family night once a month, but I think you're putting too much pressure on yourself. Simplify. What's your girls favorite toy? Or what season is it, etc. Then base your night around that. I just love them because you're being intentional about the time you're spending together. Ooh, what about a soccer night?
Looks like fun...whether it went smoothly or not!
Love the circus theme. Although it seemed crazy it looks like lots of fun. We may have to try that theme out soon.
