PERFECT for FUN as a Mom.
Not all the parts I experience from day to day are all under the umbrella of "typical mom-isms". Oooh, I like that word now. Anyway, the hubby ended up leaving town to head NORTH~ Yep, Northern hemisphere of our cold State of MN. It was where I was raised, where my children go often to be free of all the "isms" in our household and just be. Grandpa's House~ Remodeling is what my husband is quite talented with in his craft. I feel blessed, because I don't have to worry in our household with him knowing what he does with carpentry and more.
So Friday came and the little girl and I went to have our Mom & DD time at a local farm.
We experienced the great wind of the Fall season during the 2+ hours we were there.
It was even more though. We experienced that FUN we needed. That is what my mindset was for any plans over the weekend. I think that if you sincerely think about the FUN of something, your days can be good to ya.
This first adventure to the farm was a good one despite the windy weather. I'd say the highlight was a beautiful mare (horse) saying hello to my DD. You can tell that it is a great moment. She even received a friendly lick on her hand. Twice.
You could say that everything aligned Right. After the wind, cold and losing shoes. I also came to the realization when on our lil adventure; that my DD is quite possibly an SWC~ There is a trend here with the abbreviated meanings? STRONG WILLED CHILD!!
The day was all around good just the two of us.
Saturday brought new adventures to our clan of 3. We ventured out to an amazing corn maze which is semi local. Me being the gas conserve lady lately, I am always sketchy about making a 35 minute drive somewhere to have FUN. But we did it! Arrival in early afternoon meant that we still have not hit the warmest parts of the sun for the day, so planning; I did make their lunches. Kept it simple. Who can deny PB&J when they are under the age of 6 years old?
Well lo and behold first off arriving; I was a bit frightened. Pulling up and seeing the 100's of pumpkins ready to be knocked over by my kids (or kids tripping over em) was a bit unnerving. That's just me though! We walked in the entrance and were surprised to find what may be a carnival despite having corn maze in their name! Breakdown. Corn Pit, giant slide, hayrides, exotic petting zoo, hay bale maze, camel/pony rides, live music and of course; FOOD! We did all of it; all 5 hours spent was well worth it. In ways it was nostalgic for me being so OLD. I need to remember that I can still have fun too!
Not all Mommies are mean! Right?!
Sunday brought more goodies; waking up was tough though. I could feel my allergies attacking each part of my face slowly. Thank goodness for over the counter allergy medicine. I snagged my Advil C&S and was packing more lunches for the day! Off to the zoo we went. Today not PB&J though~ no today, we did protein. Turkey sandwiches were gobbled up quickly. We were at the zoo on a Sunday? Yep, zoos are generally open on Sunday's and there are quite a few people there getting their animal learn on with kids! I would have to say the higlight was saying hello to these guys:
And the topper; well there is always the Just Right topper to a FUN weekend. It was having my hubby come home. Not often a wifey will say "love you" in a blog. But today it's well deserved. I love my man and feel proud that he is helping my family move forward with lifetime in their home.
It all turned out alRIGHT! On with the week!
