What night is it? What games do you play? What snacks and other fun stuff do you incorporate?
Tell me! Tell me! :)
Answer
We have family time, and each night we have a quiet time before bed.
We do a game nite once a month and a movie night at least the same. Its nomrally either Fri or Sat. In the winter with the snow, sometimes we a do a family Day where we spend a sotrmy day, Sat or Sun, indoors playing games, reading books often together, watchign dvds, playing legos, etc. On those days my boys often will stay in thier sleepers and louge around in them, which they love to do.
When we do game or movie night we normally do popcorn, as its cost effective. Esp since sometimes there might be an extra mouth or 2 to feed.. Sometimes its nachos also as teh boys all love that too. I will normally do a warm soup and grilled cheese for dinner on the movie nights, esp on wintery night, as its warming and helps calm the boys as well, and its also very good for them.
As far as games it varies. Sometimes we all get out the lego tubs and all of us play legos on the floor in the living/family room. We also will sometimes do a video game night and we all take turns playing multi player games that are good for the family. Also we will do puzzles and boardgames. Monopoly works well and sometimes its a team thing. I like Trivial Pursuit, as it smakes teh boys think and they learn too. We normally break into 2 teams sometimes 3 if we have guests over and have a beat going. Last time it was the losing team had to do the clean up afterwards, before we started the movie. As I have found that if we play games until bedtime, the boys are more hyper and have a harder time sleeping and also that leaves me 2 do all the clean up. But if we play until liek 8ish and then clean up and then all watch a movie together that works really well, and often they are asleep before the movie is over, or else ready for bed then. Granted I might have to change 2-3 of them when I put them 2 bed, but its worth it and they enjoy it and they sleep well so all is good then.
Hope this helps.
We also have some Disney trivia games and those are fun too.
