winter picnic

Today we did something that my kids have come to love. Having a winter picnic! So much fun, we lay out a blanket and eat on the floor. Sometimes it's just whatever is for dinner and sometime we go all out and make summer time foods! Tonight was all out and had summer time food. And with the end of the year coming fast we find ourselfs talking a lot about the up coming year and what we would like as a family. mind you that our girls are still all under 5. So when we talk about goals with them we sometimes get some funny ones. But we feel that they need to have something to work to, even at this age. And new years eve we now have a party for a good year that we had and the good year that is to come. The goals that we were able to finish and the ones we were not. And that is when we come up with new goals, but just to see where they were we talk a little about it tonight. So Matthew was to not work as much, and to take more faily trips. Eammah's is to be potty train. Mine is to cook fresher, and to loss weight. But the one that got me was Jessalla's our 4 1/2 year old. She would like to get more family time in just like we were doing now. to see that our little girl knows what is important. To see her so happy to have both of us and Eammah just having fun and having dinner together. I know that most of you all have dinner as a family each night or most nights of the week. but we do not and are lucky to have it on Sunday.

It got to me a little and so glad to see that I'm doing something right with her. :)
