We used to be the kind of family that loved themed meals together (the kids are so little and cute in these old blog posts!).  Whether it was a Mad Hatters Tea Party or The Drake Fighters, everyone usually got involved and had heaps of fun.  For some strange reason, everyone in our family loves dressing up.

As our children got older, themed meals seemed to slow down a bit - and now-a-days it feels like a miracle if there is an evening where everyone is actually home for the night!

So when everyone was home the other night, the decision was made to have a family Rock Band evening together.  Suddenly a couple of people got into rocker gears and it had turned into a dress up event!

To be honest I was soooo tired.  It had been a busy week and I was so ready for a calm and relaxing evening.  Unusual outfit ensembles started being created and I decided to get involved - and I'm so glad I did!

When the kids were young we had to make time and organise fun events - but now as everyone has gotten older, it seems that when the moment presents itself, you need to grab it and get involved before it passes.

We had so much fun and I'm sure some great memories were made.

Here's to not missing out on spontaneous moments when they come your way!
