Today was just one of those days that didn't seem to turn out quite like it was supposed to. After church we changed clothes, ate lunch and headed to the park. We played volleyball which was a lot of fun and then it was off for some good ole' fashioned kickball. Well, this is where things went sour. I got frustrated because Jeremy and Bailey were killing me and Riley, Riley hurt his foot, Bailey was upset that she wasn't playing well and then Jeremy got irritated with all of us. So we packed everything up, went home and decided to have a family meeting. We all discussed how our attitude's affect those around us. We said our apologies and then came up with plan to prevent a further
occurrence. After we got that squared away we voted on how we should spend the rest of the evening. We ended up going out for
snow cones, Starbucks, then back to the park for baseball and finally home for board games. The day ended up much better than it started.

I think I need to be at the next family meeting...me and my attitude:)
Bailey has a great volleyball stance, you have a horrible outfield stance, and Jeremy is never allowed anywhere near me after his last comment!
Coach Bates would be so disapointed.
I'm glad we were able to put a positive spin on a
day that was spiraling out of control.
Nice to see someone post an episode from "real life" where things aren't always like they were depicted at the Cleaver home. Thanks for reminding us that we all have occasional bad days and need to rethink our expectations and behaviors.
I no I have a great volleyball stance.
Can I invite you all to my Family Team Meeting you guys would be a great inspiration to my families. Thanks Becky isn't this the truth. This has been great to keep intouch and when I am up late at night I have such great memories. They say I am good at what I do, I often say it is because of my kids and I am right you all have taught me so much and I keep on learning---Keep teaching!! Love you.
