Driving Around Barefoot

Last night we had to go pick my husband up at the train station.

I let the kids ride there and back in the car with no shoes on. They didn't bring any. No socks either.

You would have thought they had won the lottery. They thought it was so cool that we didn't have to do the "get your shoes on" process, and that we were doing something out of the ordinary.

I didn't buy them any toys, there was no TV or computer involved, just doing something unusual.

This may not seem like a big deal to you, but try it sometime. Do something totally out of your normal routine. Get ready for school backwards. Brush your teeth while dancing. Eat breakfast outside. It's amazing how doing something differently can make the world seem like a bigger place.
