Fall Changes

Fall is upon us, which by the way is my wife's favorite season of the year. We both love the changing of the colors. The way the trees transform into explosions of reds, yellows and browns.

The change of seasons has also brought some changes to our FFN's. Last Tuesday I went in for sinus surgery (again). All went well, but it did throw off our family time together. My wife and kids were great helping relax while I recovered (am recovering). I did get up the strength to play a game of Yahtzee with the boys (never underestimate the strategy of a 7 year old) with my youngest kicking our butts. He even would have one if we did not count his extra Yahtzee bonus.

We are all looking forward to next weeks Family Fun Night when we travel all the way down to the end of the street to attend Family Fun Night at our kids school. I know they stole my blog title....... :[

 But it looks like it will be fun anyway. We have friends coming to stay with us for the weekend and other friends coming over to have fun on Halloween. So look forward to some "scary" photos in next week's update.

Family Fun Night Switch-ups

The last two weeks FFN has seen a few changes...

The weekend before last my wife and I were out of town for some Adult Fun Nights. Grandma stepped up to the plate and took over FFN duties. The kids had a great time and still had some quality family time. They spread out the fun all weekend with football, swimming and a few treats from Grandpa.

Last weekend with my wife out of town left FFN wide open. Again FFN was spread out over the whole weekend. The kids and I watched movies (Iron Man 2; so-so, Prince of Persia-Sands of Time; great family movie), had some Cold Stone ice cream, ate pizza, more football (jr. novice youth football for the youngest), more food at yummy Mongolian BBQ (gotta love all you can eat noodles, meat and sauce, oh yea and a few veggies for color). And best of all we still found time to clean the whole house for my wife's return. We all missed mommy/wife and can't wait for this weeks FFN (I see more dice in the future).....

Opps not that kind of Dice....




That's better. See ya next week!
