just do it
Sometimes planning fun family things seems like a lot of work- there is scheduling, organizing, loading, schlepping, etc. but when it comes down to it, its great and worth it (ok usually worth it) The other day smart daddy-o forgot to take back some library stuff on his way to work- so instead of just loading the boys and going to do the return, I planned a fun outing. We met smart daddy-o at the park on his way home from work, had a picnic and the boys played, we went to the library and checked out new stuff. Then walked from the library to Dairy Queen for my favorite a small chocolate ice cream in a cup with chocolate dip. And then walked back and went home- It was relatively cheap simple fun. I am really glad we did it. I can already tell the days are getting shorter, the afternoon shadows are getting long, and the weather is starting to cool. Summer will soon be gone. So my advice today- enjoy the seasons of your life while you are in them because they will pass all too quickly and we’ll only look back and wish we enjoyed them more while we had them.

the best part of that post was that fall seems to be coming! Yay for cherishing the moment, but yay, yay, yay for fall!!!!
Sounds like a fun day! I noticed tonight it was getting dark earlier already. Time moves way too fast.
I've complained so much about our long,hot summer. And now Fall is butting its way in through Halloween decor, etc.! I realize I'm going really to miss summer if we don't take every last advanatge of it that we can! So, I am planning a fun outing for us next week to the beach and I'm way excited!
I am always happier when I plan stuff, but that doesn't mean I do it often.
I didn't get your email, sorry! I didn't open my account forever, and they closed it. So, I just reopened it. If you email me again, I'll email you from my "real" account. :)
