Sundays are usually a lame time for me...
Usually I wake, feed the masses, and then clean and do laundry. All the while listening to my husband lament about the fact that he has to work the next day, which is really hard to deal with. I know he works hard and long hours but I am stuck with five children all day every day and he acts like it is some sort of vacation, which sucks.
But, today was good, bordering on great. It started the usual way and then after breakfast(on the deck, nice) I mentioned that there was a garage sale in a neighboring community. He, uncharacteristically(is that how you spell that?) says - "let's go check it out." Me not wanting to miss a fabulous opportunity said "I'll get dressed." We went, we shopped, and we found some really cool things - fishing lures for him and the boys and books and a tablecloth for me. FUN!
Then we went home and loaded up the canoe(he got last weekend while I was moving my Sissy, it was free!) and went to this place where we could canoe and the dog could swim and we had a blast!!! These are the days that I will strive to remember for the rest of my life. Everyone having a great time, beautiful day, sun shining, dog swimming, kids playing and laughing. If every day could be like this for everybody, the world would be so happy and calm.
We came home and cooked out and had spontaneous company - friends from down the street- and it was really good. Right now the boys are playing in the yard with friends and not arguing or fighting. They are having fun and eating burgers and having a fire in the fire pit. I can see them through the back sliding doors. Gosh I love days like this...
Sissy if you read this I am sending you a package it has the coolest plates and just some fun things for you. I will mail on Monday so look for it towards the end of this week. Love you!
