Out of the Ordinary

Today we went to the markets.  Our church is still on a break until next week and so we took advantage of the morning by getting up early and going to the markets.  Asher and I had a ride on a mini fire engine and he bought a little model jet plane.  We were going to buy lemon butter as it was handmade but when we left we forgot on the way out.  I like doing things like this. Things that are different and out of the ordinary.

You see as a stay at home mum I sometimes get stuck in a rut, as do most people I suppose.  I think this was why I loved living in Melbourne. It was always new to me and where ever I went was different to where I had been my whole life.  Whilst we could always move back there, we are now firmly planted here in Queensland.  I do love my life up here very much but living in the "burbs" there isn't a great deal of variety always.  However, I have decided that I would like to do something each day that is out of the ordinary. I may not find something every day but I would like to try. This year with Asher being at school I will have a bit of extra time to myself and with Zion so I am going to give it a good go.  Plus there are weekends to do stuff as a family.

What kinds of things do you do to stop from life being 'ordinary'?  What ideas could you offer me to do that are out of the ordinary?  Both places to go and things to do just at home? Here are a few that I might start with...
~ make myself a nice pot of tea and drink it in my 'good' cups.
~ take Zion for a trip into the city or beach.
~ go to the Friday night markets.

Oh I almost forgot! Yesterday I did something out of the ordinary - I climbed with my boy! (After this photo was taken he fell about 2 metres! So when he asked if I would climb with him I did!!!)
