This is Saturday.....
Saturdays are for sleeping in....(who am I kidding even at the ungodly hour I went to bed last night, I can't sleep in)
Saturdays are for lingering a little longer....
Saturdays are for....reading and comics and lounging in our jammies all morning.
Saturdays are for coffee
and for tea and hanging around the kitchen bar for conversations.
Saturdays are for leaving some chores until later to get outdoors to do those chores. Usually when our outdoors looks good out indoors doesn't.
Saturdays are for sidewalk chalk and stuffed animals.
Saturdays are for doggie belly rubs
Saturdays are for lacrosse games where the whole family goes to watch and cheer.
Saturdays are for scoring 4 goals and for feeling proud.
Saturdays are for late lunches and popsicles.
Saturdays are for pressure washing, and for breaking things and running to the hardware store and Lowe's.
Saturdays are for teaching and for learning. I want to remember how he patiently taught her, encouraged her, and helped her with every step of the way with no adult involvement. I want to remember that I get to see this side of him because I stick around and choose to look for it and see it. I want to remember that he is messy and complicated (like all of us) but wise beyond his years in accepting it. He's a great kid but often misunderstood. I'm so glad he's here to teach me these important things.
Saturdays are for getting along with your big brother for very short periods as long as there is a common interest like skateboarding or rubiks cubes.
Saturdays are for sprinklers.
and skateborading
and family togetherness.
and all sitting down at the same table at the same time for a dinner cooked out on the grill.
Saturdays are for chiilaxin. This was Saturday. Love Saturdays.
