This morning Luke had his daily "the Big Kids got on the school bus but Mommy won't let me" tantrum

which left me thinking that I really need to come up with a little routine for the time after they hop on that bus. Maybe a different activity for each day, not something that has to take really long but something he can look forward to. So today we had "Donut Store Day." I put him in the car (in his pajamas, with the school T-shirt he insisted on wearing over the pajamas

) and we went to Dunkin Donuts for a breakfast treat.
I don't want to do "Donut Store" every day...that could be costly and isn't very nutritious (he has discovered that the donut store sells donuts, not just bagels

)
If you have any ideas of other fun things to do (at home or "outings") I'd love to hear them!
