Our week-ends are anything but relaxing. A typical week-end for us involves getting out of the house by 8:45 AM on Saturday to get to the sport du jour. Which means that Saturday mornings are chaotic and involves a lot of scrambling to find equipment, baby gear, Asher food, ...anything we'll need for that morning. Then, when we return home, it's rush rush rush to get the weekly grocery shopping and other household chores done. Sunday mornings are dedicated to getting together with friends or family - which mean even more rush rush rush to get where-ever we need to go Sunday morning - planning and carrying Asher's meals, baby gear, activities for the boys, etc. Inevitably, Leila gets really tired during these outings and begins to scream. In other words, it's very hectic and chaotic and not a whole lot of fun.
And we have this absolutely lovely play structure in our backyard and rarely get to use it because we're never home.
I promised that this past week-end would be different. And other than going to the last T-ball session, we intentionally made no other plans.
It was sheer bliss to wake up on Sunday and know that we're not expected anywhere at a certain time. We lounged around, then went off to the backyard to play on the play structure and the sand box. The boys had a blast watering the plants (one of Asher's favorite activities). Leila had a wonderful time on the swing, and we all took a trip to Jupiter while "riding" in the fort - with Simi at the helm. (Simi's pre-school just finished a module on planets and he's still talking about them.)
The boys talked about how fun the day was. I agree. Can we have another week-end like this past one?
