Saturdays

Last fall we were crazily busy. It was too much, all the time. All of our weekends were booked before the fall even began.

It was full of good activities, too. Things the kids really wanted to do. Curly was in a production at a community theater, and that took up a ton of our time. Then there was scouts, scouts, and more scouts, or at least so it seemed. There were other things, too, that seem to have slipped my mind.

In the middle of it, I declared that we weren't doing that again this fall, and I have stayed true to my word. I said no one could participate in an activity this fall that required Saturdays. They could only do things during the week.

We needed a season of rest from busy weekends. And I have been making an extra effort to take full advantage of those Saturdays to have lots of family time and enjoy fall activities. Here's what we have been doing...

hiking...




digging in the dirt...



bike riding...
dropping leaves in the water...

reading someone else's shirt during a picture...


reading other things...


 scooting...

 training for American Ninja Warrior...



 more bike riding...

What we've been doing is all the seemingly mundane things in life. And we are all loving it.
