Hello February!
So far February looks VERY similar to January, but I am okay
with that.
Jeff and I and our kids sometimes talk about, “Why Not?”
(I think this idea
originated with our friends, John Matthew and Megan.)
This is how it goes:
Everyone takes a turn saying something that they might want to do by
phrasing it with a “Why Not.” The only
rule is that NO ONE can tell you why you CAN’T do it or why your idea is
impossible or ridiculous etc.
It is fun to think big, or think differently, or to think
your ideas out loud and just maybe put
them into motion.
Recently my sister’s family was over and here some of the “Why
Not’s” we came up with.
(I will say that this
game can be more fun to play with kids than adults.)
“Why Not”…
(Remember the
rule. You CANNOT tell the other people
why their idea won’t work.)

launcher in space.
