Candy Making
So I decided to do a totally Mom thing on Sunday - I made candy with my 7 and 2 year old!!!!! That's right folks - lollipops and everything!
The husband got last minute Pats tickets and as soon as he left me and the kids were out the door on the prowl for something fun to do together! I found the cutest Halloween candy-making kit at Michael's craft store. I felt like such a good Mom!
Working full-time too often my weekends get caught up in running errands, cleaning the house and stuff that I just can't get done during the week. Then before I kow it it's Sunday evening and the whole weekend was nothing but work, work, work (as my son would say). It felt so incredibly good to just sit down with my kids and do something fun - just the three of us. I will have to be sure to do things like this more often with them - it was an afternoon I will remember for quite some time.
After were done and the 2 year old had melted chocolate in her hair and all over her clothes I decided that maybe for next time we would wait until she's a little older.....

I am glad to hear you taking some time for the three of you. I know all to well what the weekends end up being (laundry, grocery store, just lots of running around). I have encountered many weekends of guilt with "when are we gonna....?" and I say, "this weekend", and it just doesn't happen for some reason.
So good to hear that you made it through a weekend without getting "caught up in life" and enjoyed such a wonderful and memorable moment with them.
Did you take any pictures...?
