Back to school F.H.E.

Another school year is quickly approaching and it's time to refresh and rejuvenate some goals for the year!
I found this scripture and printed it on card stock and laminated and we are hanging it next to our calendar.  We discussed what it meant and the kids did a really god job telling us it means to be an example in all we do and say!
 After our new motto and scripture for the year.  We wrote down goals each would like to work on this year.  Giselle is our "happy" model. Actually she was happy, but insisted on making this a dramatic photo.:)
Giselle: Be potty trained and get rid of the binky!
Jacob: Write his own name and learn to play soccer.
Jillian: Say my morning prayers and finish homework right away.
Genevieve:  Learn all 13 articles of faith,eat healthy and exercise and work on Math.
Jolie: Less time on the computer and study harder in Math.
**** they each came up with their own goals..except Giselle!

We also talked about how important it is to go to bed early since they now have to get up early.  We decided we need to have snack and homework time right away when we get home from school. Homework is to be done at the kitchen table.

We finished with Brett giving them each a Father's Blessing.  This year is going to be busy but hopefully with us all working together we can have peace in our home and still have fun!
