Family meeting 4-30-11

Sat. evening after everyone's showered and changed into comfy clothes, we sit down together to decide what plans we have for tomorrow:

Before planning, things we definitely need to fit in:
1. (from mom) go to downtown library to exchange paintings;
2. (firstgrader) daily homework
3. (preschooler) daily homework

What else everyone wants to do together:
A. Preschooler: Option 1) Jump city -- no one else wants to
                                     2) wants to check out books (mommy can help)

B. Firstgrader: Option 1) neighborhood walk -- no one else wants to
                                    2) Olson Park
                                    3) botanic garden

C. Mom: we also need to 4. sum up the allowance earned for the month of April; 5. plan birthday parties if anyone wants to have one (preschooler's birthday coming up)
               2) also wants to go to Olson Park for biking and seeing the sprouting trees

D. Dad: Option 1) if it rains, watch basketball game -- no one else wants to; 2) if it doesn't rain, Olson Park
