Thankful Thursday: Small Things

Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

In the old days, back when we homeschooled (yeah, like just a few months ago, right?)...

If I heard about something interesting that I thought one of my kids would like to do, we'd do it, if we had the resources...

If it fell on a school night, so be it. We could just sleep in the next day. No biggie.

To be honest, I thought those days were through.

I mean, you can't just miss school, or be late for school, coz something so totally cool and entirely once in a lifetime comes along...

So, when I learned, last Tuesday, that on Thursday night on the USS Midway, as part of the Navy's birthday they were going to have a screening of Spock's favorite movie....

I was entirely nuts to even entertain the idea that I should take him down right after school....

I mean, we are serious school people now, right?

But my mind and heart wouldn't let it drop...

So, after getting the teacher's permission, we bought the tickets and set off to San Diego (we live 2 hours away, btw) on a rainy afternoon...

To celebrate the Navy's birthday with Churros and...

Yeah. Coz I'm the cool mom. ;D
