We live for the weekends. While Saturday is usually spent taking care of errands and doing household stuff, Sundays are usually outing days. In the past few weeks we’ve:
- gone bike riding (ok, the kids rode, I walked the dog)
- gotten dressed up and had a tea party
- visited our favorite park for hours and hours
Being from NYC, I’m definitely of the mindset that you don’t have to pay for something in order to have fun. As a child, I enjoyed some of the world’s best museums, music, theatre, and dance for absolutely free. Yesterday, I turned a regular errand into something fun. Bebe and I went to the recycling center and I let him help. He enjoys being picked up and peering into things like bins, or over counters, etc. While we were there, a train was passing nearby, and so he got to see the railroad crossing arms go down, which he had never seen before, and thought was fascinating. The kids are interested in seeing how voting is done, so when I go to vote this week, I will take them with me. You don’t have to have gobs of money, travel far, or even spend lots of time to have fun. You just have to look around. And you don’t have to be patient, a supermom, or even social to make any of this happen. Trust me, I am none of the above. So without further ado I present “Weeekend at Tifi’s”:

I was dressed up for the tea party too, you’ll just have to take my word for it, hehe.

I pretty much forced Girlie to wear her hair out one day. She actually liked it!

Peep ZB’s steeze in that pic! Haha. He said he just made it up. Uh huh.

A rare photo of all of us together.

Something about these shoes always inspires me to take a picture.

The kids are playing in a little sand pit here, ick. I think public sandpits are gross.

My husband is a grown up kid.

I have my shoe loves, Luis has his.

Someday, I’ll have a DSLR and be able to take fabulous shots. Until then, I make it work.

Girlie strikes a diva pose while I…look like I hurt my back? LOL.

Mommy’s little (not quite) stairsteps, hehe.

The end!
