This morning my two girls are at Vacation Bible School which some churches put on for a week in the summer. They have one this week and one next week. I have my two boys home. The two year old is too young to attend and my ten year old got a sun burn yesterday and it is pretty tender today. So this week the mornings will be a bit quieter and I am always thankful for quiet moments.
Since moving to this house and my husbands job became completely life altering our weekends see us middle ages parents taking turns napping all day for the two days. The children eat, watch TV and then beg us to take them out and do things. I usually have to grocery shop and that is an outing for usually one child. My husband or myself will often take a child out on a special date as well. This weekend I took my six year old out. She wanted to go to Walmart and pick a toy and then go out for frozen yogurt. We started the date both grumpy and at the end so happy. It was lovely.
This weekend the neighbors invited us into their pool for the first time. That was so kind of them and so thrilling for my children. We have a small plastic kiddy pool that goes up to their ankles and the neighbors have a full size pool with a slide AND a diving board. They were in heaven.
We went for a walk up on our favorite mountain which always relaxes my husband and I because it brings us back to happy memories of our childhood. I don't know if you have any spots like that but if you do it is worth visiting them whenever you can! I just don't feel relaxed with that specific feeling anywhere else around where I live.
My sister came out to visit with her husband and sweet daughter. It is over and hour drive to visit and so they don't come out regularly and so it was so fun to have them over. We made dinner and chatted and laughed and it felt so healthy and happy.
So all in all a wonderful weekend.
I hope your weekend was wonderful as well.
Have a happy week
Love Tansy
