Things to do...

Winters are tough. Thanks to daylight saving time, in the winter, there's a good two hours between sunset and bedtime. Sometimes three. Kids don't like to be cooped up, so evenings are often spent trying to find activities to sufficiently tire them out in hopes of a smoother bedtime.

Tonight, we needed lightbulbs for the bathroom and I wanted to take advantage of a BOGO offer on orchids, so we all got in the car and headed to Home Depot.

What was supposed to be a five minute run in turned into a thirty minute browsing. We looked at the flowers, talked about colors, Makani helped me pick out new orchids for the house. Ellie, I think, was just happy to be out.

It's the little things, right?
