What are your plans of a Sunday? A movie with the kids, maybe. A visit to the nearby mall to check on the new outlets. Or crashing on the couch to catch some new specials on your Netflix. I am sure a dozen other ideas creep into our minds and right at the beginning of the week- we are already planning about the weekend! But did you know that kids have it all sorted about how they want to spend their weekend? The little ones have it all planned and actually look forward to spending every minute with us- to help create magical memories together!
