Another staple in our day was/is some sort of craft/art and meals.
To be honest I don't love the craft ones - I am not sure why, I think because more often than not I/we are frustrated when we do our crafts - so maybe it conjures up some negative feelings. Noah is always saying "I can't" and Brock is anything but a perfectionist - he flies through and is out of there while Noah hasn't even started because he is still whining about how it is too hard to hold scissors.
I do love these because most of my motherhood memories will probably have some sort of food link to it. I love when all 4 (5 now) of us sit down and eat together. I really try to eat with my kids - it is SO TEMPTING to get up and get stuff done while they eat breakfast, lunch, or a snack. But I really try hard to stay and sit and talk with them - and I never regret it. Often this is when we read scriptures or learn something new.
I love these pictures because I was having a professional photographer over to my house to take pictures in my house and I didn't bother to throw that trash away in the background or put my drying dishes away behind my sink. Well, at least it is a real view.
It is funny about the counter - I let my kids sit on the counter - probably because I LOVE to sit on counters - I am up on top of that thing reading ads or eating something several times a day. I wanted an island or peninsula so my kids could sit up on it and help me make cookies. We have had a few dozen eggs kicked off the counter because of it - but... its too much fun to not let them.
See those pictures on the mantle and that tree in the corner - only decorations in the WHOLE house - those pictures are all of Megan that I put up for her blessing.
