FAMILY COUNCIL.............

SHAD AND I TALKED TO JER ON HIS WAY HOME FROM WORK MONDAY.  HE WAS TELLING US THAT WHEN THEY HAD THEIR FAMILY COUNCIL ON SUNDAY NIGHT, THEY WERE EXPLAINING TO THE BOYS THE REASON THEY HAVE CHORES AND JOBS IN THE FAMILY.  ONE OF THE REASONS THEY GOT THE DOGS FOR THE BOYS WAS SO THEY WOULD HAVE TO FEED AND WATER THEM, TAKE THEM FOR WALKS, AND THE DIRTY  JOB....PICK UP THE POOP.  JEREMY HAD US LAUGHING WHEN HE TOLD US ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT CAME UP IN THEIR COUNCIL (ABOUT PICKING UP THE POOP).

I AM SO THANKFUL WHEN OUR CHILDREN SHARE THE THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN THEIR DAILY LIVES WITH US.  WE MISS OUT ON SO MANY THINGS BUT WHEN WE HEAR THE FUNNY STORIES.....IT MAKES US ALMOST FEEL LIKE WE ARE THERE.
