Saturday

...was a good day, a 'family' day. We have so few of those particular days, mostly because we let life get in the way. A normal Saturday consists of sleeping in (as late as Abi sleeps in), some sort of slapped together breakfast, lots of TV or computer for the girls and cleaning for us. Really its boring and so disconnected.

This past Saturday is hopefully the beginning of a new trend. It started out with waking up at 7A because Rick had to work a half day (9A - noon). The girls and I vegetated and watched REAL Saturday morning cartoons, which means we watched Boomerang. We watched Popeye, Top Cat, the Jetsons and Scooby-Doo. If they'd have been on we'd also have watched the Smurfs, the Snorks, Voltron & He-Man :o)

After cartoons, the girls got a little computer time... the bane of my existence! By the time Rick got home, I'd shoo'd the girls out to play in the fresh air (and I was reading!). They begged for him to come out and play with them... football! The girls got Rick a football for Christmas, he'd told them he'd always wanted one... now he has one! :o)



After football, they were exhausted. So everyone came in for a rest, and a round of The Game of Life. Not one of Rick's favorite games, heck, he doesn't really like board games at ALL. But even he admitted that since Emmie is older, they are a bit more fun to play (Emmie used to want to play, and then throw a fit when she couldn't get it... so normal!).



After Life, we watched Bee Movie and Over the Hedge. Talk about some funny movies! And even better, funny movies that we could all enjoy together! :o)

Then a nice thrown together chicken dinner.

What a lovely Saturday. I hope to have more like that in the future!
