Our New Motto

So a long while ago, I saw this really cool idea in Family Fun magazine about creating a family Motto. I thought it was a great idea, but couldn't figure one out for us. It should be something you want to achieve or become or be as a family. Every time its appropriate, you bring it up with the kids, Like when they are grumbling about chores or fighting over the computer time. 'remember, the Jones' are joyous!' So I finally found the one that would work for us. I went through a ton and kept tryin them out but nothin fit, then one day when we were trying to 'teach a lesson' to the boys about doing what was right, Daddy said "Remember Boys, the Roberts do what's Right." "perfect!!!!" I shouted from downstairs Thats it!! We have had issues lately with, lets say, making wrong choices, and so this was what we needed when we needed it. Your Motto can change with your needs as well. You kind of create a business plan, motto for your family and hang it up somewhere where everyone can see it and review every once in a while, (Quick easy lesson for FHE hehe). Steve has played with it as well when helping the boys with learning the chores, the 'Roberts do it Right', (the first time) Its getting better and better!
