Having my nephews over so regularly since they moved here has made me aware that at our house we have some unwritten rules of how we do family, so I decided to write them down. Just a little bit about how we do life, enjoy!
- Loud is just our way of life
- Pray often and do your Bible study, mom will ask
- We don’t talk bad about each other, and we don’t allow others to either
- Sunday church is non negotiable
- At any given moment someone could break out in song and others will likely join in
- Be home when the street lamps come on
- Lying is the worst thing you can do, just own up to your mistakes
- Dad and mom don’t care what your thinking, but your words and body language better show respect
- Dinner is eaten at the table except under rare and special occasions
- There is always popcorn, it is it’s own food group
- Don’t run and jump in the house, that’s what outside is for
- Dogs do not belong on furniture, and if you let them in your bed you’ll never get them out and you don’t get to complain about it
- Don’t leave lights on or doors open or dad will yell, unless your mom, then dad will just roll his eyes and complain
- Sunday nap time is sacred to mom, as is bath time, so be quiet and stay out of her room
- Mom and dad own EVERYTHING and they can touch, look through, or take away whatever they want whenever they feel appropriate
Now, if someone has a great idea of how I could print/display these I would be thrilled.
