Remember when Sundays were family days!

Bill and I talk about this all the time – wouldn’t the world be a better place if everything just shut down every Sunday and you had to dig out your board games, go to the beach with a picnic, walk or bike in the sunshine,  go sliding or skating in the Winter.

It seems like the only time we do this now is over the holidays when stores are closed.

We choose to spend our Sunday inside in our PJs until noon – plotting how we could spend our day!

Ethan and Payton are both extremely creative kids and I knew whatever we planned would be great!

Bill had introduced them earlier in the week to one of his favorite Canadian bands called Walk Off the Earth – we had already spent a few evenings watching videos and free dancing (as the kids call it).

So we decided we would make some of our own videos.  Payton and Ethan took turns being the directors.  We gathered costumes, props, make-up and made some sets!   I couldn’t believe their attention to detail. 

We giggled, danced, watched ourselves at the end of each recording, did some re-takes and literally spent the entire day just playing. 

The simpler things in life can make us so happy when we decide to see them through the eyes of a child!!

I haven’t laughed that hard in a very long time – I enjoyed putting on costumes and letting go of all my adult thoughts and just really living in the moment – it gave me such a deep feeling of happiness and it made me realize - we spend way too much time being serious in our day.
