Family Rules

Over the weekend we made up a poster of Family Rules and hung them up, in hopes of helping everyone in our family get along better. They are as follows:

1. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Be kind to each other, respect each other.
2. Clean up after yourselves, help others clean too.
3. Spend more time together. Family nights are once a week. Spend less time watching/playing electronics alone.
4. Communication is important. Listen to each other. Answer if someone is talking to you. Don't walk away if someone is speaking to you.
5. Use your indoor voice in the house. No screaming inside!
6. Do as you are asked to do.

Today was Lucas' last day of Archery for this summer, and he also had a dentist appointment this afternoon. No cavities as usual! :) Ryan also had his weekly play therapy this afternoon and I think it went well. It's rainy out and I'm tired. My project for this week is to come up with some good consequences if the rules are not followed. I'm also trying to come up with a good cleaning schedule that I can make work so that our house is not such a mess all the time.
