Game Night

Hi friends....

Hope your weekend was spent exactly the way

 you wanted.
 

We had a nice weekend,

We got to spend some quality time together.

I came up with an idea for my family

over the weekend that I thought would be fun and

give everyone the chance to open up and share.

I feel really blessed that my 3 Wishes

are pretty open with us about stuff

that is going on in their lives.

They share about school, dreams, goals etc...

A game, kind of like 20 questions I guess
but my take on it went like this.

 

I got to thinking,
Wouldn't it be neat to really get the kids sharing about all sorts
of things taht are happening.

Like things we overlook,

take for granted, are sometimes too busy to focus on.

I started typing questions and before I knew it, I had thirty or so.

 

There isn't a right or wrong, the questions

can be about anything.

I cut all the questions into strips and folded them

and then placed them in a little bucket.

We ended up spilling them on to the counter and picking from there.

I found a mason jar and decided I would keep

them out as we decided this is going to be a weekly thing

for our family.

I was so excited because my kiddos actually wanted to play.

They enjoyed sharing.
We took turns picking a question and answering
the one we chose.

Cameron picked the question,

what new idea have you been thinking about lately?

Oh my goodness...

you should have seen the lightbulbs going off.

Cameron had so many neat ideas and inventions
that he had been thinking aobut...

from new video game inventions to ways to help our military forces.

It was amazing.
 

 

 

Leave me a little note if you decide to give this game a try.

 

Monday Musings

It is Monday...A beautiful day it was.  Sunny, a little windy but just lovely.  It was a long day, with work, sports pictures for Cam and Madi, teachers meeting, homework to complete and dinner to prepare.  So on the way home, Cameron says "I wish we could just go out to eat and talk about our day with each other".  Ok, if you have a 12 year old, you know that if they want to talk with you and share about their day...You run, you just drop everything and do it!!! And that's just what we did.  We went to this little pizza and pasta place and shared about our day with each other.

We talked about Ethan's weekend at the "Believe" Revival, we talked about school, our health food store dreams and our summer plans, and we laughed.   It does not take much to make this cutie smile.  He just wanted to be with us, all of us.
Isn't it awesome how a Monday can start out to be just a Monday and then turn out to be a wonderful memory making Monday.  Hope yours was wonderful also!! Be Blessed!
