Day 13: Spend the day with your family

With all the craziness in our lives we have to take time with our family.  My husband works full time and it is hard for him to spend good quality time with us.
Sundays are a good day for spending time together as a family. No one has school, some don't work, it is just the perfect day for some people to do it.
So what can you do as a family? You will want to help keep them entertained.
1.  Get to know them- talk to them. Obviously some teens are very closed and will not want to talk much or spend time with you, but remind them that family is important.
2.  Play games- If you can turn off the TV and play a good old fashioned game of Monopoly, Clue, or cards. Video games can be fun, but (in my opinion) there is no one on one contact with the people you play with.
3.  Make healthy snacks- have fun teaching your kids how to make healthy snacks. Good habits start at home so teach them.
4.  Go for a walk if it's not 7degrees outside.
5.  Look through old pictures.

These are just a few ideas, let me know what you come up with. :)
