thankful#79: one-on-one outings with kins

we had such a productive afternoon. kinsley came home from school, we had some lunch and jumped into the car (although kinsley would correct me and say that we didn't "jump" into the car because that wouldn't be safe. we "climbed" into the car.). we went to the post office, the bank to make a deposit, the library to return a book, then swung into starbucks for a hot chocolate to enjoy while we sat in the car during our oil change. we then went to pick up some papa murphy's and stopped one more time at trader joe's. kinsley is becoming the best travel buddy. she's getting better and better at getting in and out of the car fast, which makes it much easier. she has fun exploring new places and if i'm with her she has fun talking to the people at each stop. she asks the best questions while we're driving (and always) and she likes to dance to the radio and make her own versions of songs. our trips, big and little, get more and more entertaining. but even more than the entertainment of it, i love spending time with her - just the two of us.
