I decided to tell the kids about New Years Resolutions. (We were waiting in the car while Shay got some groceries and I needed something to distract the barbarians so they didn't kill each other) So I told them what they were and asked them each to make one. Here goes:
Elly: Wants to learn songs she doesn't know.
I thought this was a really good one and have tried to teach her some songs. She LOVES to sing and sings about everything. Her latest is a mix of the Barney song and some song Kaely taught her and a primary song. It goes, "I need you, you need me, we're a happy family", repeated unlimited amounts of times.
Jane: To be nice.
I was very happy to hear this one, since Jane has been having a very hard time being nice. Since then it seems to have gotten worse. But I guess she gets all year to try.
Kaely: 1-not to be the smallest in my class. 2-eat at Golden Corral at least 10 times this year.
I am guessing that she plans on taking care of #1 by doing #2. I told her there is no way we are eating at Golden Corral that many times because I hate it. I always feel fat when we eat there because when you look around it is just a bunch of fat people overeating on food that isn't that good. And I told her that is not the kind of bigger she is looking for. I also told her to deal with being small or fail a grade, then she wouldn't be the smallest in her class anymore. That sounds really mean, but I am a realist!
Skyler: To try to be less nerdy and more Sophisticated.
I guess just the fact that he said that made him a little more nerdy. He is always using words that 9 year olds don't usually use much less understand. I guess it is all that reading, the other day Shay asked him what book he was reading and he listed 5 books. I told him that wasn't normal, most people answer with one book title. He later informed me that his new years resolution came from a garfield comic. So I guess it did come from reading!
As far as Shay and I, I think our NYR is to survive this year with baby #5. I mean we did twins, how hard could it be?

Those all sound like good resolutions to me. And tell Skyler he should be proud of being nerdy, it just means he will be better off in school and maybe get some nice scholarships in the future. Beats paying off student loans! Of course at his age he does not care about that. Sorry to hear you are still pregnant, we will be sure to pray for the baby to come as soon as possible. The end is never fun! Good luck and keep us posted.
I loved your description of Golden Corral. Your children sound like a lot of fun!
Congratulations on your new baby. I agree with putting your foot down to going to Golden Corral that many times. Yuck! Anyway, I have award you a blog award. Check out my blog for details.
