Today was an interesting day for the family.  After church, Tes and I took the kids to the Market Station at Paseo de Sta. Rosa.  There they observed how to buy stuff in a market.  We bought some live tilapia and some chicken.  (We later fried the tilapia for lunch. ).  We also bought some shrimps, rice and bread. (   Thus we had good fresh food for today’s meal). Later this afternoon, we cleaned the car as a family.  Tes and I washed and waxed the car.  The kids swept and shampooed the upholstery.  The day was capped with a charbroiled chicken and spicy shrimp dinner.

It really felt good to have the kids involved in the chores.  It seemed that our relationships grew a little bit today. Family time doesn’t have to be going to a movie or to a restaurant.  It can be the simple everyday things just done with a higher sense of fun and involvement.  Its really the engagement, rather than the expense, that counts!
