We have always been very consistent with eating dinner together.
But this year (particularly since high school basketball started), we are pretty hit and miss with gathering around the table.
Amy bought us our first box of Table Talk cards many years ago for Christmas and we've since bought a couple others with different conversation starters.
The kids ask for Table Talk and it's fun to hear their responses.
On January 19th, we did a few rounds of table talk.
Do you share any of your family's physical traits?
Harper: "yes, I look like dad"
Everyone: "Presley looks like mom"
Do you prefer to play inside or outside?
Presley: Very quickly "inside"
Ry and Logan: "outside"
If you had to live with another family for a year which family would you choose?
Logan: "probably the Gillin's because me and Colby's schedule is so similar it wouldn't be an issue."
Presley: "Someone I knew well, like Amy's family."
What personality trait has gotten you in the most trouble?
Logan: "sarcasm"
Which of the five senses would you be saddest to lose?
Presley: very quickly "taste"
Logan: "sight"
Rylan: "hearing"
Harper: "smell"
If you had all of your wishes granted, what problems would you have?
Ry: "none, because one of my wishes would be to never have problems."
When you receive two invitations at the same time how do you decide which one to accept?
Harper: "whoever I liked the best"
Presley: "I would try to go to both, like 1/2 and 1/2 of each of their parties."
Logan: "whoever has the most food".
Rylan: "this is too hard. I hope that never happens"
How are you different from everyone else?
Harper: "I don't like to wear clothes."
