Family Night

Josiah had a rare Friday night off. Jamin was working instead. ::snort::

Mike suggested we pack shoe boxes. The chapel will have two drop off dates - 16 and 23 November. We determined NOT to do 23 boxes this year (that box fee killed us and we have other charities we also like to support). The younger ones and I went shopping while Mike took Jared to Basketball practice. We had a lot of fun choosing things to fill "10 boxes". We still plan to make a coloring page for each box. We ran out of boxes. We'll pick some more up at chapel tomorrow. I suspect we'll have around 10 when we are done....we currently have 5 "ready" to go.

We had a blast filling boxes.

I purchased an extra package of big balloon toys and the younger ones had fun playing with those...after Mike and Josiah blew them up.

What a mug! "Glast name, Stacia is crying!" Her balloon popped.

After the balloon play, Mike and Josiah had a Father/Son talk.....and we all watched an episode of Waltons. It was a great family night.
