Today was a lazy Saturday. Have you ever had those Saturdays when you are running all over the place? Have you had more than one ... okay, maybe four or five in a row? It seems like that's all we've had the last few months. Until today. We didn't have to get our house super clean by a certain time because friends would be coming over. We didn't have to run from one event to another. (Granted, Jon did go on a hike with the youth as part of youth conference from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m., and I was at a baby shower from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.) I didn't spend all day doing laundry (like last week), or dishes. We didn't even really do our weekly house cleaning. Oh, and the best part was that the TV wasn't really on too much (aside from the time when Eliza was babysitting for me).
Andrew and Adam spent a good part of the day working on their projects for Biz Day. Eliza and Kate spent a good amount of time on theirs as well. I was able to bake a cheesecake, make five loaves of bread, relax a little bit and watch a couple episodes of Nikita on Netflix. (Don't ask ... I have no idea how I got reeled into watching that show. All I know is that it is a nice escape when I just want to relax.) Jon was able to take a long nap, spend some time with the children, and then he finished up my grocery shopping for me.
In all, it was the laziest Saturday we've had in a long time. And, Jon and I still went somewhere in the morning! It's kind of sad when I say that it was a lazy day after writing about everything that we were able to do. I guess it wasn't "lazy," but more like "relaxing." And, boy, am I grateful for those kinds of Saturdays.
