It's sad that, even with the young ones, schedules are already getting filled with too many activities. A designated night is a must just to make sure we have quality time together. I posted earlier this week about our recent family movie night. Here's the link: http://www.playlibrary.com/2006/10/21/family-movie-night/ Great topic!

We watched football in the fall and swam in the summer; always followed by a traditional dinner. My oldest son got married last weekend and we are working on getting together for the family holidays. The tradition starts early and I know it will carry on. When my sons went to college and lived away from home, we still had Sunday family day.

What were we going to do besides hang out with our parents, play Pong? No. We watched Night Rider.

It seems like in this day in age families are suffering. We do not have a designated family night, but it seems like family night is everynight in our house. We always sit down as a family and eat dinner, unless dad is working late. We have a no TV policy from after dinner until bedtime (although it has been broken lately with my morning sickness being so bad!) We play games, read, do puzzles, play simon says and animal charades, do crafts or practice our letters, numbers and colors. Sometime my husband and I just watch the kids dance around and being funny. This is such a wonderful thing to do with our families. It seems like in this day in age families are suffering.
