Its Friday meaning pizza and movie night in our household. My children might drive me crazy, but I cant imagine life without them. A simple gesture as pizza and movie night is something we all look forward to through out the week. I love knowing we have qaulity time together that my kids enjoy, for now. They are 9 and 6. I know this might be a short lived thing, but its something they will always remember. I hope by doing this they enjoy it forever. I hope they never outgrow pizza and movie night.

You're right, they may have outgrown those kind of family activities that they had as kids, but the memories will be cherished forever. My kids are teenagers now and these days it is more often that just the two of us parents would go out together. Still, we would talk about things that we did together as family when they were kids; in fact, just this morning my youngest is asking me if we will ever go back to where they were born and visit the places where we used to go when they were kids again...

Thats great he wants to continue those memories. I think even when their older and they dont seem to want to hang out with their parents as much they still crave it. Im an adult with two kids and still remember the days when I was younger and wish I could go back for a day sometimes. So i hope as we continue to build these memories they will cherish them and still want to enjoy them from time to time as they get older.

The goal is to create memories and build a relationship with my kids so when their older they have that foundation. Plus it gives us a break and just have fun.

It is great that you do this as a family, and I think that there are a lot of people out there who could learn things from you. I think that you should make sure that you carry on doing this, because your children will probably go through a phase where they don't want to spend all that much time with you anymore, but if you insist that you still do at least one thing as a family each week, it will be easier to spend time with each other. I love spending time with my family, and it is something that people should never take for granted.

Awwww - pizza and movie sounds like fun! Yah, the kids drive us crazy too - but gotta love 'em . . . they are our little rascals!! Mine are 7 and 2. We have been so busy with packing and trying to move . . . we're moving into a house!! I think we've been driving the kids crazy lately - ha ha! Hopefully we can have a routine family night after we are all settled in. Summer is coming up and my daughter will be out of school - so I'm hoping to be able to do mock camping in the living room or maybe the backyard. Have fun tonight!!

Not only pizza and movie night can make the family happy my friend. Any activity that is participated by the family becomes a blast specially when there are foods to back up the activity.

Kids are the source of fun and low to the family. Since i an single i cannot how know how my life and my children will be. The only thing which i can do is just predictions about my life act i don't know the prediction is true or not. Well when i was and child i was the reason who made my family to laugh. I do simple pranks at all the time. I just do the pranks while i am playing but others, my parents keep smile at me.

You sounded like a source of joy for your family. Your children will be the same. You can never fully predict how your children will turn out, but dreaming is always nice. I wish you luck in your future.

yummy pizza... but my hubby does not like pizza. That is a good thing that you can all get together as a family. Before you no it they will be all grown up and leave you.. That is the sad thing when they leave your home. But they will always remember the good times with mom and dad when it came to movie time and pizza.

I think that it is very encouraging to have a family night. it is so easy to lose touch through our daily lives. We need a connection that brings us back together. Sharing as a family is very important and essential to communication and relationships. I applaud your efforts on keeping a family night going.
