FHE Fun!

Last night we had a lot of fun together for Family Home Evening. Usually after having a lesson or whatever we have done, the boys want to do something fun. Many times we have a "Family Wii Night". However, our Wii had a run in with Conner a few weeks back, and mom and dad have yet to fork over the money to get it fixed. So we have found other fun things to do. Playing Truth or Dare Jenga is one of the boys favorites! Patrick and I have had this game for a long time, and usually thought the truth or dare part was dumb, so we would just play as if it was regular Jenga. But the boys love the truth or dare part. So it is usually pretty entertaining around here when we play. Last night was no exception.

Yes, generally I do keep my children clothed, but one of the dare blocks Brayden got was to remove an item of clothing. Glad he was the one that got that one!

Conner was laughing so hard when his dare block dared him to switch an item of clothing with someone. So him and Brayden had to switch shirts. It was pretty funny, Brayden's shirt looked a little like a dress on Conner because it was so big!
Conner is getting pretty good at playing this game. He never was the one to knock over the tower. He loves it!!


Here is Conner after he was dared to slow dance with a broom (so we just used the Swivel Sweeper) He was so embarrassed!! He didn't know what he should do, so Brayden stood up on his chair, and showed him how to slow dance. Patrick and I were busting up laughing at it all!
(see the shirt is a bit big on him!)  :)




This may very well be the highlight of the game....

Brayden was dared to give the person next to him a raspberry on their tummy. Conner was laughing so hard  well before Brayden even got his face close to his tummy. Conner kept laughing and pushing away so Brayden couldn't do it. It took quite a few tries to give his brother an acceptable raspberry, but he finally did it! We were all dying of laughter!! 

It was good times!!!!!

That last picture is priceless!! I love it. I've never even heard Truth or Dare Jenga. Sounds like it could be worth getting just to see your kids to funny things. Sounds like a very fun night.

Looks like a lot of fun. We have been trying to think of a new game for game night. Maybe Britton will be getting this game for his birthday. Sounds like y'all are doing well. 3 months to go for baby # 3. Hang in there.

TOO FUN!!! We should play Truth or Dare Jenga at the next Shumate Reunion. I can just see Jon giving raspberries on Robbie's belly. Ok...maybe we shouldn't play it. Removing items of clothing could get interesting...ha!

LOL! One of those nights that reminds you why you had kids, right? That's how it'd be for us, we might need to buy Jenga...
