Family Day

today in canada is family day although i'm not doing anything special i thought ~ would post a few quotes about families

A family is a unit composed not only of children but of men, women, an occasional animal, and the common cold.



-- Ogden Nash

You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.



-- Desmond Tutu

To us, family means putting your arms around each other and being there.



-- Barbara Bush

The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together.



-- Erma Bombeck

I think people that have a brother or sister don't realize how lucky they are. Sure, they fight a lot, but to know that there's always somebody there, somebody that's family.



-- Trey Parker

Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible -- the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family.



-- Virginia Satir
 
hope everyone has a good family day

blog hop - fall family fun


i love this time of year the crisp fall air, the leaves turning color so here is some ideals for fall family fun that is free or almost free
Pumpkin Picking
I used to always do this one as a child its so fun for the kids and i find the kids love to pick out the pumpkin for halloween you could even let each of your kids pick a small pumkin out and some places give small ones out free you will pay anywhere between $5 - $30 dollars all depending on the weight of the pumpkin
Fall hiking
this is a real fun activity going for a hike with the kids in the woods or a city trail looking at all the fall colors is real nice and the kids will have a great time you can even colect up fallen leaves and press them and glue them into a scrap book and the great thing is this one is free
Carve Pumpkins
well after buying the pumpkins you will need to carve the pumpkins in to jack - o - latnrens so this can be a fun family activty give each child a pumpkin or if youre doing one pumpkin let them each do a part of the pumpkin and let them carve away or if there too little for that then let them draw the face on the pumpkin and an adult can carve it
Make A Scarecrow
making a scarecrow is real fun all you need is some old clothes and something to stuff it with like newspaper or hay if you can get it and something for the head a pumkin or you can sew a head with two round peices of plain fabric sew it and stuff it with some pollyfill stuffing you can even make a scare crow family
