Popcorn, Milk Shakes and a Movie (or game) Night
The title pretty much says it all. This idea is definitely one of the favorites for our family. Depending on how old your kids are, getting them to agree on what they want to eat can be pretty tough sometimes. Angie, however, has been making shakes for the boys that they absolutely love. What they don't know is that she throws a few scoops of a sugar-free protein powder into the mix. She also uses low-sugar ice cream and skim milk so watching the boys suck down their "shakes" knowing they are getting something healthy works for all of us.
Now that dinner is covered, it's time to sit down to a good movie, or maybe play some video games with the kids. Video games are a lot different than they used to be, and with the Wii the games get pretty intense - and sweaty! Whether it's a game of baseball, or an ultra-embarrassing round of "Just Dance," the laughs just keep on coming. I'll be the first to admit that it's a lot more fun for everyone when I get my butt kicked, which seems to be the case pretty frequently. If you haven't got a game system, there is any number of board games or puzzles that will achieve the same goal of spending time together without spending a ton of money.
