He's 23, and we still go to bookstores together, even now. You're a good mom! ;) This sound just like many of the perfect evenings I spent with my son when he was younger.

It keeps things interesting. And you definitely must be raising them right to pick a bookstore. Sounds like a good night. Amanda enjoys the Garfield comics too. We picked up quite a few at a Half-Price bookstore on a visit to TX once.

But hey, it's good that it doesn't take you jumping through hoops for them to have a good time. That says something - that they're content and secure and learning to enjoy little everyday pleasures (you can always go to Wendy's or a bookstore!)

That would have been my kind of fun too. We used to do that a lot. Wasn't one of my hubby's favorite choices but he went along with it. Your kids are great! That would have been my kind of fun too.
