The Jar

Growing in my fam, we had this jar with lots of bits of paper with ideas to places to go to and things to do on the weekend. We would try explore our city (Cape Town) and create new brilliant memories of us spending time together as a family. 

When my dad mentioned two weekends ago that they still do the jar with my younger brother, I decided it would be a good idea for us W's to keep family tradition alive and make our very own. 

So 2 FHE's (Family Home Evening's held on Mon night) ago we wrote tons of ideas on blue slips of paper of things to do on the Saturday's we don't have any pending plans. This past Saturday was the perfect opportunity to put our jar to use. J pulled out the slip declaring movie day - whether at the actual cinema or at home. Whilst I was at an informative Relief Society meeting on Saturday afternoon, J did the research of what's showing at our theaters (a wonderful selection of 4 movies...). Upon arrival home, J rushed us out the door to pick out 2 films at Videoland and a pit stop at Checkers for the necessary snacks (popcorn and chocolate of course). 

Even though one of the films (New Years Eve) was mega cheesy and super predictable, we enjoyed the time snuggled close together.  A perfect ending to a Saturday. :)
