Let's Go on An Adventure

As a mom, I am quite thankful for fun words. You can make any ordinary event special with some creative vocabulary.

This past week was our week of "adventures". We pretended like we were on adventures each day. A trip to Woodmans grocery store takes on a whole new meaning when you add the word adventure to it. Liliana got to bring a little back pack to the store and help scope out things to buy. We even had a stop at the treat aisle to make the adventure complete.

I was feeling pretty good about my made up adventures and then we went on a tour of Epic software company with a friend of ours who works there. Talk about an adventure- the place was great. Each building is decorated in a different theme- Asia, Western, an Indiana Jones hallway, Safari,... it was an interior designers dream. The owners of Epic have a huge budget dedicated to cool decorations to make the work environment fun. We pretended to run away from the dragons and were going in the conference rooms trying to shoot them with our bow and arrow. Very fun.

I also converted half of our walk in closet into a little play area for Liliana. She loves going in there to play, so I decided to move our excess stuff out of the corner so she could set up a little area for her. She absolutely loves it and the adventures have continued.

Here's to a week of ordinary, but fun adventures. Dora would be proud!
