Weekend time is precious.
In reality, weekend time also has to be productive.
Also, I want to superglue myself to my children on the weekends because HAVE YOU SEEN THEM?
In a flash of magic realism, I told Jack one Saturday afternoon a few years ago that we were "going to have adventures."
In adult speak, this can be translated to "running errands."
That particular day, I think we went to the "fancy car wash." (The one that's not the drive through. NEVER the drive through for Jack.) We went to Trader Joe's. We probably went to Starbucks.
The day was a great success. We returned home happy and accomplished.
Since then, we've expanded our horizons. We grocery shop, buy birthday presents for people, explore in bookstores, eat Thai food, tour the Capitol, visit my office, get haircuts, eat sushi, you name it.
Having adventures is now one of Jack's favorite things to do on the weekend. And you know what? It's one of mine, too.
Errands can be adventures. It's all about your lens.
Hope your lens is clear today.
Talk soon,
Heather
