Family Meeting Funny

[annettemarie]

We decided we were going to start doing family meetings on Monday nights, so I was explaning to the kids that I would keep a list up on the fridge of things to discuss, and that this was called an agenda, etc.

OK, well, I decided. DH looked at the computer and said "Who's fruitcake Mothering idea was that"

I digress.

So we're making a list- I had
1. Food upstairs
2. Toothbrushes
3. Saturday night menu (we have a theme meal)
4. Clean Up time
5. This week's schedule

And I asked the kids if they had anything they felt we needed to talk about as a family. Katie Grace (3) looks at me all serious and says "Toilet paper." I looked back, and said, is there a problem with toilet paper we need to discuss as a family. She says, "Yes. You only need a few pieces, and Michael uses too much."

OMG- she looked so concerned and serious, I was having a hard time not cracking up.

6. Toilet paper

When DD suggests that you start using baby washclothes as toilet paper--- then, and only then, will you relize that MDC has taken over your life.

Oh my gosh, that was too fun.

Went like this
Attendance: Daddy, Mama, Michael, Katie Grace, and Nicholas
No minutes to read.
No old business.
Open with prayer

1. Food upstairs- food belongs at the table or in the kitchen
2. Toothbrushes- we only need one toothbrush at a time, and they stay in the bathroom. Ask mama or daddy if you need a new one. Nicholas can wander around with his
3. Saturday night dinner-by candlelight for Candlemas. Menu: Cake, potatoes, corn bread, roast beef, green beans
4. Valentine's Day Plans
5. Daddy's schedule this week
6.Morning routine- Mama needs to find a song to sing to remind them
7. Toilet paper. Michael uses too much to wipe his bottom. 1 or 2 or 3 sheets at a time. Michael will make a sign to help him remember
8. Quiet Time. Children feel it is too long. Mama disagrees. Tabled until next meeting for further discussion.
Katie Grace agreed to lay down for a half hour. If she doesn't fall asleep, she can get up and play quietly in her roo,
Rules for quiet time: Stay in your own room; be quiet; clean up before coming down
Consequence for being noisy during quiet time: Go to bed 10 minutes early
9. Change on family altar will go to Tsunami victims. Next month it will go to the 30 hour famine.

End in prayer.

It was a hoot!
