Day six - Saturday. I love a quiet, lazy Saturday morning! Saturday is the one day when I allow the girls to watch cartoons when they get up in the morning. This gives me plenty of un-interupted quiet time ... alone. (well of course I have my Bible, journal, books, and COFFEE!)
After that I check my email and favorite blogs ...
And start some loads of laundry ...
H had a noon soccer game so we head out to the field. Bob works some Saturdays so unfortunately he couldn't watch the game. His parents usually come though. This is before the game -
H did great and even scored a goal at this game! We were hootin' and hollerin' - we were so proud!
After the game the girls and I had some errands to run. We ran home to change and grab a PB sandwich for the road and then headed out. One errand stop was the consignment shop to look for winter stuff for the girls - we had some success and were happy about the prices ...
Later that afternoon the girls played outside while I cleaned house ...
Then they came in to help me bake some cookies!
My little helper wearing an apron that I used to wear as a child!
This is what happens when you run out of flour while making cookies - they go FLAT! Oh well, they still tasted good!
Then I browned up a big double batch of ground beef. Might as well cook the extra now and save time later.
We usually wait until Bob gets home to have dinner. Sometimes the girls eat earlier but this night we all wanted to eat together so we could have TACOS, one of our family's favorites!
After the kids were in bed I really wanted to scrapbook ... but first I had to fold some more clothes ...
Then I could get busy scrappin' ...
And I know this is the first time I've mentioned it - but I always end my night by reading. Even if I stay up way too late and am totally zonked, I always read a little. It helps me wind down and get sleepy.
