Random Acts of Kindness

Our kiddos new favorite movie is Even Almighty. Hayden refers to it as the "boat boat" show. I do love the message that it offers about Random Acts of Kindness. I have even noticed a few of these random acts around my house



As mom of a family of five my job in the laundry room is NEVER done. I will say that I LOVE my new laundry room seeing that I spend soo much time in it these days. In between dealing with the bottomless laundry baskets there is always the SOCK problem. They always seem to go in with matches and emerge from the dryer as singles. I choose to throw the singles in a big basket and when everyone in the house has run out of socks we have what we call a Sock Party. We dump the socks in the floor and practice our "Needle in a Hay Stack" skills followed by the "Matching Pairs" skills.

Last weekend Daddy decided to tackle the sock basket on his own. Of course he did this while watching the Seahawks game in full Seahawks attire. Thanks Daddy!!!




Tucking the kids into bed is a nightly ritual that seems

to always involve a little whining, a little complaining and
maybe even a few threats. A few nights ago Daddy went to
check on the kids and found this note laying out very orderly
outside Brydens bedroom door. It was the sweetest things I have ever seen. However, I do consider this a bedtime stall tactic on Makenas part. Good Job Sis!!!!!





Last but not least is the homework ordeal. Makena works on expanded form math notation while Bryden works on handwriting and writing letters. Hayden however, always has to be right in the middle of it all. Daddy bought him his own notebook and crayons and his siblings are always willing to help out. Good Job Kiddos!!!!!


Keep up those Random Acts of Kindness out there!!!!!
