It is very rare that I do a post that doesn't include a picture, but today I am making an exception. I am constantly telling my kids things that either end or begin with "In our family." For example, I might say, "We don't talk like that in our family, " or "In our family, we make good choices." Like if we see someone making a bad choice, I try to use it to teach them that even though others make bad choices, "in our family," we do our best to always do the right thing. You get the idea. It is just my way of letting them know what is expected of them. This got me thinking about some of the things we "do" in our family. Some are good, and some...not so much. I wanted to write them down, for myself more than anything. Here it goes!
In our family we :
We try new things
We lick the beaters
We Jump in the leaves
We cry
We Say "I love you"...a lot
We help each other
We Play in the mud
We are grateful
We snuggle
We Scream when we are excited
We Scream when we are upset
We color on the walls
We have fun
We sit on the counter
We tell the truth
We dance in our underwear
We say our prayers
We frown
We play dress-up
We say "please" and "thank you"
We "be nice"
We take lot's of pictures
We play on the floor
We get frustrated
We do our best
We keep our promises
We do second chances
We do LOUD really well
We share...sometimes
We are silly
We fall down
We get back up
We forget things
We laugh
We "look both ways"
We make big messes
We kiss goodnight
We say I am sorry
We do hard things
We make mistakes
We color outside of the lines
We hold hands
We have big dreams
We never give up
We stick together
But most of all, we love each other, ALWAYS
So, what do you "do" in your family?
