I mentioned yesterday that it was Sarah's birthday and she had a great time at her Princess birthday party. It also marked a milestone. Now that she's 4 she gets to move into the weekly rotation for "special day". Each week on Friday (sometimes Saturday) one kid gets some special time with just Lora or myself. It just so happened that today was going to start Lora's turn, but since we added Sarah to the mix, I get one more special day and the first one with Sarah. We went to Krispy Kreme.
What makes the day special? One on one time with just one parent. That's a highly valued commodity in a family with 5 kids, so even an hour to go eat breakfast ALONE is a win. Sometimes we have great talks, other times we just hang out, eat and have fun. The only thing we plan is the time - we take the rest as it comes and no matter what, each time it happens it really is a "special day."
For some reason I can't load pictures now so they'll come later

When do I get a Special Day??? :o(
Derick
Hey Jas,
I haven't had my special day in about two years. When do I get one? I think I've hit 4.
Miss you guys!
Been doing that with Madyson for a couple of years but we call it date night. Just added Jael a week ago and we went to Chuck E Cheese and Ci Ci's (food is better at Ci Ci's).
Love it and I have threatened to give the girls "Little Girl Pills" for years. I get chocked up when I picture them in college....away from me.
Love your family. Really regret having to leave early when we visited. Jael said that she wanted to see the "Red" guy again.

Funny thing is, even when you only have 1 kid, you still have to plan one-on-one time. I think that I get more out of it than she does sometimes!
