Our original plan was to go to sacrament meeting and then go to the Parade of Homes. I wish I could say we always keep the Sabbath day holy and never go out or spend money and only do Sunday appropriate activities but we aren’t quite there yet which is another post for another day. Olivia got sick, Mike slept in and I lacked the motivation to get everyone going which led to missing church and not leaving the house until 2 pm.
We went to several homes with another family we met in the Treasure Valley which I will refer to as Family C. They are great people and they have three kids that Olivia adores. We did Parade of Homes to dream build and envision what we wanted in our future homes. It was my first time and it was really fun to see what the trends are in home building and to see the nice amenities that I didn’t even know existed.
I learned that even though I don’t think I have the energy some way and some how I find some to make it through the day. I am a planner and control freak (I hate to admit it though) but I am learning how to do things on a whim and learning how to adjust as the situation arises. Children are very adaptable and I could learn a lot from my kids. I thrive well on a schedule which I would like to teach my kids but I also want them to learn how to adapt to changes as well.
