A New Year and a New Resolution

Can you tell what the people in the picture below are doing?



Here they are, doing the same thing, but in a different way.



My new resolution for this new year is to post as little as possible on this blog. Just kidding, that's already happening. I don't need to make a resolution for that.

Actually, Brandon and I did make a new resolution for the new year. We are going to try to yell at our kids a little more--um, I mean less. So we held a meeting with the boys to tell them about our new goal. We put some laminated cards up in our pantry and if Brandon or I raises our voice at one of them, they can go and write our name or what we yelled on a card. Then at the end of the week we tally the cards and for every card, each boy gets a half an hour of extra video game time. The boys thought this was a great idea. I told them not to get their hopes up too much because we yell so rarely. This was just one of those resolutions that we set to make ourselves feel good because we are already accomplishing the goal.

Anyway, within five minutes of our meeting being over, this appeared in the pantry:



I don't know who's mom this could possibly be referring to.
