Pet Store

While Punky is at preschool two mornings a week, Buddy and I get to spend one-on-one time with each other.  Most mornings we do errands.  I have found it is much easier to unbuckle one kid's car seat, hold one kid's hand through the parking lot, put one kid into the cart, listen to one kid's pleas for the "toy section"  or "cookies", walk one kid back through the parking lot and buckle one kid back into the car seat while I unload our purchases.  Buddy enjoys our time together as much as I do too.  After I pry him away from the toys in Punky's preschool classroom, he immediately asks for one thing-  "PET STORE!"  Because this is our time together, I don't mind squeezing in a 20 minute trip.  We usually end up going once a week.
