I believe that some decisions are harder than others. But this one seemed to make sense...we decided to buy the kids a playground (and possible pool) instead of going on a vacation. I know that seeing the kids on the playground will be worth it. Especially when they are making up games and not coming in saying "I am bored."
However, the hard part is knowing that my butt will be planted firmly right here at home on a continual basis. Don't get me wrong... I love being a stay-at-home mom and spending time with my kids but I also LOVE road trips. Packing the car to the brim with luggage and snacks and setting out for an adventure. Going where we want and stopping along the way to see whatever suits our fancy. Poking our noses into little quaint shops and kid friendly places to see what interesting things we can find.
Well, not this year... this year we will make our own interesting things and try to have as many play dates with friends as possible. So to my kids, I say...Let your imagination soar...make that new playground whatever your mind can think of. A travel trailer that can take you places, a magic treehouse that can transport you to a different time, a rocket ship that can blast off into space, or just a cozy place to read. I hope you have MANY years of enjoyment on your new play area created just for you! XOXO
