Family Week

My sister Amy reminded me in a Facebook post this morning that I haven't updated in a while. I guess it has been a while- 10 days. Whoops!
This week is our stake's family togetherness week. The idea came from our stake presidency to remind us that families are central to the Creator's plan, and so that we can make our families stronger by building on experiences that we share together.
Last night we didn't do anything spectaculat because Natalie had dance and the boys had gymnastics. By the time we ate dinner we only had enough time to finish a couple of jobs, read and get ready for bed.
Oh, we did manage to have a quick planning meeting. We had each child give 2 suggestions of things they would like to do together as a family, and then we took a vote.
Tonight we're having a pizza party and game night.
Tomorrow we're going to see a movie at the theater.
Thursday night we're going to watch a movie together at home.
Friday we're planning on making our annual excursion to the farm.
Saturday we're going to try to clean out the garage and maybe hit the zoo in the morning. Then we have the Primary Program practice (I'm subbing on the piano for the practice so I'll be there too), Trevor is going to a Halloween party, and Kent and I are going to dinner then to watch the UFC fight with another couple.
We'll see how everything goes! I'll try to post pictures of the things we did, and hopefully by the end of the week I'll have some really neat experiences to share.
