What memories are made of

in a nutshell...
I managed to mess up the time of Kyle's first karate class and we arrived right on time 1 hour LATE. Oh man, a BIG mommy mistake.

I forgot to take Kyle's sneakers to the YMCA. He got in trouble for wearing flipflops. another Mommy mistake.

We finally got home around 8:15pm and the garage door didn't open. NOT mommy's fault. The power was out. So...we opened all the windows up and then left and drove around to find a place to cool down and wait. Where did we end up?

McDonald's of course. Most of Avondale, West Grove, and Jennersville was there too. We hung out for 2 hours and ate chicken and fries and had ice cream. We met new friends and saw some old friends and had a great time. at 10:30 when we got home the power was restored. PRAISE GOD!! Although our air conditioner is broken the kids were thankful for the working fans.

I bet years from now the kids will remember the night when we had no power and went to McDonalds. As parents we often work hard to create memories for our children...but the situations that create the best memories are usually the unplanned ones.

My suggestion to all parents: Make the best of every situation. You never know when the best family memory is ready for the making.

Blessed to be momofkrit and woj, (and sleeping in a house with working fans)
