Sundaes on Sunday

Seems around here most of our traditions revolve around food. There's the big breakfast Dad makes on Saturday mornings. Pizza and movie night complete with homemade pizza and eating in front of the tv. Donuts and bagels on Sunday mornings. Another tradition in our family is just that the adults tend to forget about making lunch and dinner on the weekends. Seems we always get busy with one thing or another and before we know it at least one child is complaining about not being fed lunch or something. So I've decided we will fix that for Sunday's at least. New rules on Sunday are if you are hungry, go look in the fridge. And dinner on Sunday night will consist of ice cream sundae's. Don't call the nutritional police on me here. One day a week will not do harm to the children and they eat rather well the rest of the week. But what we will do is build memories. Give the kids something to enjoy and claim as their own when they think about home. Yup, the goal is to have them actually like being at home and not run screaming the minute the door opens leaving behind stories of how they never got to do anything fun because there were too many kids. Granted, I think folks who complain about doing things because they have kids need to find a new excuse. You know, admit the truth. You are being lazy and looking for sympathy. But I digress. Do something fun with your kids. And tell me what you did because if we like it, we just may steal your idea and start something new around here.
