Today's word of the day is...flexibility! I have learned that weather in New England is unpredictable at best. This morning began with beautiful sunshine pouring through our windows, so we decided to head back to Castle Island for some good old fashion fun. With sand toys in tow, we drove the short drive. I watched the temperature drop a couple of degrees and the wind pick up. Understatement! The wind was so blustery that poor Annie got blown a couple of steps and promptly declared that she was going back to the car! We toughed it out for a whole 5 minutes before throwing in the flag and heading to the library. The library opens at 10am and it was 10:35am clearly good to go. Yeah well, the library had other plans! A clearly marked sign stated that it would not open until noon!!! Are you kidding me?! Brenden planted his feet and said, "I'll wait!" This is about the time that Brenden and I began our discussion on being flexible. We racked our brains and finally settled on an oil change and lunch at Boston Market. Not a very likely choice, but the oil needed to be changed and the restaurant is next door. The kids were amazing through it all and got cupcakes for desert! Being flexible allowed me to enjoy an amazing laughter filled lunch with my two beautiful children.
