Family Night #1

Last evening was our first "Family Night". The night is dedicated to spending quality time together doing something fun as a family. And to make it more exciting, I'm giving each night a theme.

Tonight's theme was "brown bear picnic". We made peanut butter and honey sandwiches, apples dipped in brown sauce (Nutella), and drank brown milk (chocolate).


Then we all got dressed in our brown clothes and sat on a brown blanket with all of our bears to have a picnic.


While we ate, we talked about the different kinds of bears (polar, black, grizzly),


sang songs likes "the bear went over the mountain" and "Teddy Bear Teddy Bear turn around",


and spent time snuggling :)


After the sandwiches were gobbled up we had Teddy Grahams, which were a hit,


especially for someone in particular :)


Then we colored pictures of bears I got off the Internet.


I had some bear crafts to do too, but they wanted to color on the paper,


and on themselves. Fabulous.


After coloring, we played a game of find the "b's" (their names for bears).


Lauren really liked this game!

And finally, it was bath and story time. We read some bear books, and they were both beary tired. Ha!


Okay, sorry for the cheeseball joke. We had a really great time though! Can't wait to prep for next week!
