My favorite game to play with the kids in the car is "I wish". Anything goes, and it never fails to bring us smiles.
Some of my favorites from recent trips:
"I wish our truck could fly"-H
"I wish I had a bunny"-E
"I wish I could have a dirt bike"-H
"I wish the moon was a giant cupcake"-E
And today the girls are both at daycare and Harley and I were on the way to the Dr. HW: Halloween is the best
Me: Do you wish every day was Halloween?
(Long Pause)
HW: I wish every month was October and I wish every tree was a willow tree big enough for climbing.
For some reason that made me emotional, probably because everything does. I have the best memories of climbing a big willow tree with a book and sitting up there for hours, and I've always wanted my kiddos to have sweet, simple memories like that. I just love that today instead of wishing for candy, video games, or toys, he just wants a good climbing tree.
