family night - mix match night

Last night we began the first in what we hope to be a long series of family nights. Tuesday night is our night. We came up with a list of themes and put them in a box. Some of the themes came from the outside sources while others we developed. Each Tuesday during family night we choose a theme for the following week. It gives us something to look forward to and it allows us to prepare if necessary. Last night was Mix Match Night. Everyone put on the most obnoxious wardrobe they could find and wore it for the evening. Most of us are creatures of habit and so we also switched places at dinner from our normal seating arrangement. To top it off we threw in a couple of competitive rounds of UNO Spin.

Each week we will select a verse to read and discuss at dinner. The verse is on the theme card each week. Last nights verse was Proverbs 6:20. It was a really fun evening.

Last night we drew the theme for next week...
Experiment in the Kitchen Night. We pulled out the cookbooks and selected the menu for next weeks dinner (stuff we've never eaten before). Should be interesting.

I'll keep you posted.
