Family Night

So...we have started this family night thing (well, I guess we've always done it) and we try to come up with fun games for the kids. A few weeks ago we decided to play charades. It was so hilarious that I nearly pee'd my pants - no kidding. The kids were making us laugh so hard. Carlos and I were trying to teach them to act something out and they had to guess what we were. Their answers were so funny! Only a kid would say that you were pretending to be a rock!? But it got funnier (hysterical!) when they started doing their own charades! Bella cracks us up! First, I would pretend I was a bear and then, when it was her turn, she'd be like, "Who am I?" And then...she'd be a bear, too! Then, I'd be a turtle and on Bella's next turn, she'd be a turtle, too. The funny thing was that she honestly thought she was playing the game right and would get so excited when we'd guess correctly. She was like, "Wow mommy/daddy, you guys are SOO good at this game!" I guess you had to be there. It was pure comedy!

So, tonight our game was the freeze dance and again, the kids make me laugh so hard. I'd start the music and they'd start dancing like crazy...then, I'd mute it and they'd freeze until I start the music again. Maddie's expressions were so funny! Bella was her usual hilarious self and every time the music would turn off, she'd take an extra second to put her hand on her face and the other hand on her heart. I dunno why she was doing it, but I had some good laughs... My crazy kids. (Oh, and Zak was getting into it too...he was dancing and shaking his head to the music!)
