67 degrees and corn hole

We took advantage of a warm weather day on Monday! Kevin made a cornhole game and I sewed some beanbags and we had family home evening set for Monday night. Brayden had already volunteered to do our lesson and he did a great job. He found a story about two newfound friends from "The Friend" magazine and read it to us and even asked us if we had experiences in our lives that reminded us of that story. He kept us all quite attentive. So, besides cornhole, we enjoyed going for a walk in the sunshine, jumping on the tramp and swinging. When the kids got home from school, Brayden and Dad had a potato gun battle and thankfully, it stayed outside where little potato bullets belong.

Here's Kai getting in some pre-game warm-up while the kids were at school. Kevin and I held our own little tournament and I was the reigning champion by the time the kids got home. Things changed dramatically for the evening, however. Our final scores? Kevin took 1st place with 335. Brayden had an amazing comeback in 2nd place at 225. Stephanie, a humbled 3rd place at 220. Kai, a-little-disappointing-for-not-holding-the-lead-in-place-of-mom at 4th place with 170 (nevertheless, full of excitement and still playing after the other kids went upstairs to get ready for bed), and Saydria holding onto a close 5th at 145. She was really excited to find out she was in 5th place, so no hard feelings, obviously.

Too much fun! What a darling family you guys have. I am a little jealous of the beautiful weather. We are outside but still bundling up a bit. Love your family night. :)
