It being the last day of January, here is how our month long Challenge went.
Friday nights have become family movie night. We rented a movie either out of the redbox or blockbuster express box. Both free of course, made some popcorn, blew up the air mattress and had fun filled family Fridays! Some went well others didn't but that is just what you get when you rent a "haven't seen before" movie.
Monk now looks fondly forward to Saturdays. No matter where we "drag" him on our errands, he knows that after all is said and done, we will sit down picnic style in the living room and play board games until well we all get bored!
This past week my grandmother had heart surgery (she is doing great, BTW) but we were in SC from Tuesday through ummm, Saturday. We HAD to get home, why, GAMENIGHT! Monk kept saying to me when we were packing up, "Come'on Mommy! We have to get home to Daddy, it's game night!" or "We are never going to get home, we are going to miss gamenight" and my favorite "Sorry Grandma but we have to go today, it's gamenight"! Wow, the insight of my mini-human and his family focus!
I highly recommend incorporating some sort of family to do schedule into your weekly routine. These 2 things, made our family a bit closer and looking forward to spending that time together, plus it didn't cost us a thing!
So how is the Decent Human Being week going? Well, Sunday we went to BJ's and for once (lately) my faith in decency was restored by the man working the customer service desk. Not only was he nice, pleasant but actually was helpful!
