One thing you will not see at our house is a quiet family dinner. I am a big fan of having dinner at the table almost every night. How often do you really get to spend about an hour with your family, and their undivided attention. While we do not have deep meaningful conversations at our house just yet, the kids thoroughly enjoy talking to their Mommy and Daddy about whatever comes to mind...such as baseball, farting, Dora, Mickey Mouse, and of course what we will be having for dessert. Also, in between asking each child to take "just one more bite", Phil and I have a small chance to talk about our day. Laughter is key, because after a long day, some of the funniest material can come out during our family dinners. Last night it was spaghetti and meatball night, Jackson's favorite. At the end of the meal, all chaos ensued. Phil scared the kids by yelling at them when they weren't looking, which led to the kids yelling to try and scare him...then meatballs literally started flying. It was a great time for all, and there is no better sound than the kids laughing (in my opinion) to forget the worries of the day. (Please excuse the horrible sound in the video, apparently my finger was covering the microphone) :)
