    Nice CBW... we all enjoyed being together last night... the kids swimming, eating sketty (not at the same time mind you) but it sure was nice!

    That to me is the main part of being a family all sitting down and eating together.

    My favorite, we do it often, BUT since football is on now, Dustin will be excluded and miss out. Not mad at all, he will just miss some things that I won't... He he Like the big belches and farts... Oh wait that is usually him. I crack myself up.

    It's just something that I feel is really important it's a great time for the children to have a influence of both parents and be able to all talk together.

    We are all so busy, it's a good time to slow down and really see each other. Connor loves setting the table and we each have our seats.
  • Sep 4, 2007, 10:38 AM

    So many good things happen around the table. That is for sure!
  • Sep 4, 2007, 10:40 AM

    Its actually a big part of jo frosts routine for family life it creates structure and gives the child a time to talk and learn from there parents with no other interuptions like the TV.
  • Sep 4, 2007, 10:44 AM
    startover22
    Yes, I know, now it will be football in the back ground... no way ever getting around that. Making it together is part of Dustins deal, he gets his time and then we eat. MMMMMM good!
  • Sep 4, 2007, 10:46 AM

    That's where I would put my foot down eating doesn't take that long, thank goodness ben does do sport of any kind or there would be ruptions here lol
  • Sep 4, 2007, 10:49 AM
    alkalineangel
    Yes, I'm thankful of that too. Thomas has never been into sports, unless UK vs UL or something, and even then not during dinner... we have DVR. LOL

    Football is on at dinner time. It is his one love that I refuse to take away. He does so much for me and the kids, if this is the one thing he wants, then so be it! It isn't about putting your foot down, it is about giving that to him... it isn't EVERY night. Thank goodness. LOL

    Well no one is saying we don't give and take but it's a rule I stick by its how I was brought up and its how my kids will be brought up for the sake of half an hour out of our lives spending it with the people you live for and only them is pretty special in my book.
  • Sep 4, 2007, 11:03 AM

    I agree. We do it a lot. I am not too worried about 2 or 3 nights. And most of the time he is right there with us, just over the "counter' so to speak... Good for you sweet, keep it up!

    My sister does the same as you, Start, Its nice we all have such different family traditions... you seem to take vacations a lot, I wish we did that more.
  • Sep 4, 2007, 11:07 AM

    We just go camping, the vacation comes every August. Camping is our thing, we all love it so it really is perfect! Go Hawks, I had to say that for Dustin... I know it would please him!

    We don't ever go anywhere... maybe the lake on occasion, its just too much of an expense I guess... but I'm starting to think we work to hard not to, Im hoping to hit disney this time next year, Have Connor wake up there for his birthday...

    Walmart, 14 miles an hour, we have an acre, he wears his helmet and has other experience with motorcycles. It is powered by a battery, he recharges it and there we gooooo! Very cool, I must say I was a bit weary about the idea till I saw him get on it and go.
  • Sep 4, 2007, 11:43 AM

    NOOOOO... just a bit right CBW
    I was going to post a pic of the new cycle, but it is way too big I think, I guess I need to go to the original file and make them smaller, I just haven't got a clue how.
