Sunshine, friends, and fun

Today is another one of those gorgeous Spring days, where you feel guilty being inside.

I am going to have a day where I spend nothing (other than usual living costs for those who are critical, yes I will use electricity at some point lol)

This morning, I met yet another friend for a visit to the park, we packed up snacks, and had a fabulous time. Then my kids came home and wanted to stay outside to play. Can't say I blame them. One of our highlights from the trip home from the park was the county guys are flushing out the fire hydrants... the kids thought that was great, although Mommy thinks it's a waste of water.. although it does go back into the system mostly I guess.

We'll eat simply (just the way the kids like it). At some point today we will probably watch some tv. We'll work together on our project... and hope to finish before Daddy comes home this weekend.

I guess from all these latest posts what I'm trying my best to convey is that we need to (society as a whole) learn to stop and enjoy all that we already have. We have friends, hang out with them without going out! Have coffee at home, or make a pot of tea. Take the kids to the park or in the backyard instead of some pricey amusement. Make your house comfortable and what you want it to be and enjoy it. Watch a favorite movie that we already own with the kids instead of rushing out to find another way to entertain them. Play together. It's all so simple, but we all feel the need to fill in the time another way. Shopping, eating out all the time instead of keeping it for a treat, going out for $7 coffee. It needs to stop. We're bleeding money and hurting the earth.
