Friday pizza night with movie is a good one. My DH wants to start a mid-week game night.

We watch a certain show every week.

Usually walking dead.

We also like to read the Sunday newspapers together over waffles.

Please stop posting in the teen and tween forum if you do not have this age range at home!!! Get a life and move to the other forums. Thei traditions you have now with your seven-year-old will not be what still holds true when they are teens. Please answer only when you have helpful information for the people in this group.

We had a streak of going out to breakfast at least once every weekend (for most weekends) although it seems to be harder to do now with sports schedules.

That's cool!


I agree!

I read an article recommending that. I have not started yet. I have been meaning to. We tried once and our youngest is 3 and the 6 year old has some odd requests like goals dealing with lasers and getting toys. I tried to ask how have they helped anyone and what are ways to help others, but that pittered out.

When the weather is nice, we walk 2 miles from school to a library near our home twice a week and play "I Spy." The kids love it and try to be tricky and make riddles.

This is great. I love reading the responses.

Every night we ask what was the favorite part of the day. Winter Saturday nights we do an audiobook with fake candles or that lantern that shows fake stars on the ceiling, throw blankets in the dryer to warm them up and cover them up and listen to some audio book. Church Sundays and hang out at a park after church with some friends.
