I am a little bit crazy about holidays. I love decorating...I love celebrating...I love going all out! We had shamrocks up in our windows, a leprachaun dressed bear candy dish and various shamrocks around the house. My kids really enjoy it, but even if they didn't, I would still do it! Today we took down our St. Patty's day stuff and put up our Easter stuff. My biggest problem is not being able to find the cute, boutiquey type stuff here in Tennessee that I could find in Utah. Any on-line places I can find stuf like that?
Yesterday my kids and I went to the local children's museum (The Discovery Center) with some friends. We had lots of fun and all the kids looked so cute all dolled up in their green. TDC has so much stuff to do, my biggest problem was keeping up with where each of my kids took off. All in all a great day spend with friends.
Today Chris and I were talking about the kinds of things we want to instill in our kids. The things I find most important and want to teach my kids are:
manners-not only please and thank you, but writing thank you cards, etc
being true to your word-doing what you say you'll do
budgeting
unconditional love
the importance of balancing having fun with responsiblities
personal hygiene-hahaha! I may be a little bit of a clean freak, but sheesh, it's important to be clean
washyour hands and brush your teeth. yes I have issues with this :)
There is plenty of other things to teach my kids, but those are the things that are most important to me. Chris has things that are most important to him that he is working on. I am so grateful that my kids have 2 parents to teach and raise them and help prepare them for the world.
