Saturday Life

This was a fairly relaxing day. After a busy week, EVERYONE slept in. So odd to have older kids (nearly all teenagers) and the days of getting up with little ones clearly behind me. As much as I miss all the energy and busyness of babies and toddlers and the sweetness of full-time mama work, I LOVE being able to occasionally sleep in late, late, late.

This coloring book is amazing

Started the day with some chatting with Rachel. I don’t know how my mom did it when I went off to college. Long distance calls were pricy and there were no cell phones or emails to keep in touch. Much less FB chats or Skyping. I went from Michigan all the way to Virginia for school. That’s a long ways. I miss Rachel and Joshua like crazy and LOVE being able to chat on phones or computers.

Much of our day was spent in relaxing and doing school. Sarah and David both had homework to finish. Daniel pretty much read his book all day. Tim enjoyed a mellow afternoon playing computer games.

Math study time

Thanks for helping, Dad, now Mom, can you come with the answers?

We won’t talk about the CROWD who went to Costco today (I think it was pretty much half the city). We survived, somehow. And ended the shopping trip with a frozen yogurt treat. Not to mention the relief of having a full pantry and freezer.
