We have a fun tradition{this is our third year} in our family to celebrate March 4th. It's the only day of the year that is also a "command". So everyone in our family{all of my siblings, in-laws, nieces, nephews} set goals to work on to help us MARCH FO{U}RTH. It's a fun way to celebrate making goals and teach all of the children how to set goals.
We start off with marching music, playing a marching drum, eating footlong subs, tracing the kids feet on a big white tablecloth{getting it embrodiered, of course}, and then telling everyone what our new goals are going to be for the next year.
Again this year someone will win our GOLDEN BOOT AWARD for accomplishing their goals. Yep...it's a GOLDEN BOOT with a little bit of cash inside for fun. I have been emailing with everyone in our family to find out exactly what they did to accomplish their goals. Everyone will soon vote for one adult and one child that they felt BEST accomplished their goals. So Fun!! Everyone did great!!
{okay, so the boots look a little cheesy and yes they came from a garage sell for a buck and are spray painted gold...this isn't the GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS!}
Here are a few of the goals that were set AND accomplished!! Wa-Hoo!!
Journal everyday*run the Ragnar Relay*read the entire Book of Mormon*read all of President Hinckley's talks*learn how to ride a bike without training wheels*run 800 miles*learn to play the piano*attend the temple monthly*recieve cub scout and scouting merit badges and ranks*go camping with family*learn to read*learn to do big cartwheels*sew a quilt*
We'll find out on MARCH FORTH who our GOLDEN BOOT AWARD WINNERS are for this year!! And we'll see what amazing goals everyone has set for this coming year!! So look for a post on March 4th!!
