We started something new around here, Family Dinner. Now, we don't really have the most normal schedules. Sometimes we're cooking dinner at 5, sometimes it's 8:30, it's just how it goes. It's funny that I married someone with the same eating habits as Kae and I. Quite often by the time we get home from work/activities it's pretty late and we all grab something to eat. Then we put on comfy clothes and descend (plate in hand) to the basement. Once down there we pick a movie or I find a show, we sit at our respective computers and eat/play/surf away. It should be noted for those who haven't been to my house that we each have our own computers down there as well as a couch or television and our laundry room, it's basically our living room.
While we're down there we talk, laugh and stil hang out together, but I thought it would be nice if just once a week we unplug for an hour or two. I typed up a little bulletin and put it on the fridge. Every Tuesday night (starting last night) we prepare, eat, and clean up dinner together. Here are a few of the rules:
- All family dinner participants are to stay upstairs unless they need something downstairs to use at family dinner.
- Family dinner will start 15 minutes from when the last person gets home.
- During family dinner there will be no phones or computers permitted.
