Something
I
used
to
do
with
my
daughter
(until
she
found
other
things/people
to
be
with)
was
a
couple
of
weeks
before
Christmas,
she
and
I
would
go
to
Williamsburg
and
do
some
shopping
in
Merchant's
Square
and
the
Colonial
shoppes
and
then
go
for
High
Tea
at
the
Williamsburg
Inn.
She
really
lived
it
and
so
did
I.
I
just
wanted
her
to
experience
a
little
bit
of
"culture",
something
I
never
had
the
chance
to
do
when
I
was
groiwing
up.
Then
she
became
a
teenager
and
it
wasn't
"cool"
anymore
to
do
this.
Maybe
once
she's
out
of
college,
it'll
be
cool
again...

My
favorite
tradition
is
that
we
celebrate
1/2
birthdays
with
half
of
a
birthday
cake.
And
we
have
cake
for
breakfast
on
their
real
birthdays.
OK,
I
confess...I
like
cake.
I
actually
wrote
a
blog
post
on
family
traditions
a
while
back
and
had
a
really
good
time
thinking
about
some
of
the
traditions
that
we
have
-
let
me
try
to
post
a
link
and
see
if
this
works...

At
bedtime,
the
last
thing
i
say
is,
"sleep
tight,
don't
let
any
bedbugs
bite,
I
love
you
and
I'll
see
you
in
the
morning"
in
a
really
cheesy
sing-song
voice.
They
say
it
along
with
me.
M's favorite is probably the Unicorn Story. Every night I make up one story about two lovely princesses who live in the kingdom of Macomb, and who have best friends that happen to be unicorns. I change things just a little to be different, but keep enough the same so that she knows the story is really about them. I've been writing them down to turn into a book for her. I'm hoping to get it done for her birthday. A's favorite is when she and I have popcorn and watch Scooby Doo together, just the two of us. We love Scooby Doo.
ordinarywmn 6th May
now
that
6
of
my
9
kids
are
spread
out
all
over
the
country,
we
text
each
other
silly
messages
before
things
like
the
red
sox
games,
celtics,
pats,
bedtime
etc.
we
also
text
each
other
good
news
like
games
they
win,
promotions,
anything
good,
to
see
how
quickly
it
spread
to
the
whole
family
lol
it makes us feel like we are still together sharing our day at the dinner table like old times!

Every
night
I
read
a
story
to
my
son.
One
night
he
picks
it
out
and
the
next
I
pick
it
out.
We
read
with
lights
out
and
use
a
flashlight.
Then
when
the
story
is
finished
he
rolls
over
and
says
"I
love
you
mom"
and
I
say
"I
love
you
too"
and
then
he
says
"cuddle
forever"
and
I
say
"absolutely..cuddle
forever".

It
took
me
a
while
to
think
about
our
traditions,
cuz
I
don't
really
qualify
them
as
such...but
once
I
saw
Nataly's
post,
I
started
going
through
our
routines.
A
big
one
in
our
house
right
now
is
American
Idol.
My
4-yr
old
loves
it,
so
on
Wednesday
nights
he
gets
to
stay
up
late
and
lay
in
our
bed
with
us
watching
the
results
show.
Saturday morning walks around the lake in our neighborhood; Sunday night dinners at my parents house; annual events like a spring visit to the local farm, etc. Guess we have more traditions than I thought!

Nataly,
that´s
so
not
silly!
Those
are
the
moments
she´ll
remember
later
in
life
and
she´ll
always
feel
loved!
I have a few favorite rituals with my boys. Whenever I bake, I mix everything on a chair so they can help. My toddler dumps the ingredients in and they both help to stir. It´s far messier than if I did it on my own, but so much more fun. Bedtime is another tradition that I really enjoy. We all snuggle up in the toddler´s bed and read stories and usually the boys end up tickling each other and laughing their heads off. It´s a lot of fun. :D

This
is
a
silly
one
--
in
the
morning
when
my
daughter
wakes
up
I
get
into
her
bed
and
we
cuddle
for
a
few
minutes.
It
gets
the
day
started
on
such
a
great
note!
(even
though
we
then
have
to
rush
around
a
bit
more:)

My little guy created a bedtime ritual this year. When I tuck him in at night he tells me about his day. I get to hear what he built with Legos, what stories he read, who he played with, and anything special. In the past week or so he now asks, "What did you do today?" The other night I when I told him, he quickly responded, "That's boring!"
