The Travel Treasure Hunt continues! If your not familiar with this, I basically hide things around the house and when I call Veg from my business trips, I give him clues to find his "treasures"... I highly recommend this for anyone who has to be away from their children. Not only does it make it easier on them but also makes things lots easier for us. They are less stressed, less upset, happy to talk to you and look forward to your calls. All those things make this VegMom a happy camper!!
They don't have to be things you buy, they can be trivia or just treasures already in the house that they have forgotten about.. But in this case, I did buy a few small things.. A kids board game, a Music CD, and two little art projects that can be done in the car.
When I called Veg on the first night he said "wait a minute, I have to get my hat and pirate patch" He came back to the phone so excited, it made me excited... The rest of the calls went just as well...and it seems him and his Dad had an OK time without me... Sure I'll get the whole story after I get home...
In the future, I will hide more things then the amount of days I'm gone so that he can have something before school and after school. Wish I would have done that this time...But otherwise, it was good.
