New Hope: Sunday Seven: 7 Fun Things I Did with My Kids This Week

Sunday Seven: 7 Fun Things I Did with My Kids This Week

Sunday Seven Meme

Dad's been out of town working for a few weeks and we were missing him. So, we did 7 Fun Activities to lift our spirits.

Watched some of our Little House on the Prairie and The Walton's DVDs
Played our favorite card games: Dutch Blitz and 9 Square
Looked at old photos from when the kids were little
Made Monkey Bread with Cream Cheese Frosting
Played Chicken Foot (with dominoes)
Had a slumber party in the living room
Called Grandma and Grandpa on the phone

I'm the kind of woman that loves getting involved in ministry and volunteer projects. But, I have to remind myself that my kids are my first ministry. It is my responsibility to help them grow as Christians, to help them through their childhood, and to show them my love.

Joyce said...: I LOVE the Waltons and Little House on the Prairie....my kids will hardly watch them now though! HA! Probably burned out too. My kids DO love playing games though. I am not the game person but my husband is so we do a "family" night occasionally and the 2 older ones that moved out recenlty come "home" (they live up the road! HA!)and eat with us (of course!) and play games. Sadly.....my oldest son just moved to Connecticut before Christmas so.....he can't come play now.; January 21, 2008 at 12:27 PM

BTW...we love DutchBlitz and Chicken Foot too. We also play Mexican Train but require everyone to yell "woo-woo" when starting a train. We bawk during Chicken Foot! Yes..we're weird. *L*; January 21, 2008 at 6:50 PM

Thank you for commenting on my blog, I replied with this:

"I'm sorry your comment came up as spam! I have de-spammed you know.

I didn't do a Sunday Seven this week...but I guess my roses from my friend count as 7 blessings rolled into one!

I will visit you and read yours :)"

Have a great day! AR xx; January 22, 2008 at 4:50 AM
