A Relaxing Saturday

After soccer and Science Olympiad in the morning, the rest of the day was simple and relaxing ... like normal.

As Saturday is Nana and Papa's only day to do chores around the house, sometimes the kids help out. Taylor enjoyed being outside with Nana that day.


There is often a lot of coloring done in our house. Usually Payden or Taylor pulls out the colors and books, and then Declan, who hates not being a part of what they're doing, immediately jumps in.


Now as the others are off doing their thing, whether it be coloring or whatever, Shelby is usually doing her thing ... reading. She dreams of having a library in our house one day. Seeing as how I love to read and I LOVE to buy books ... she might get her wish.


I did get some relaxing in that day as well, and as usual, if Mom's laying down, someone has to come sit on her or give her loves or something ... it's inevitable!!


Saturday also tends to be the day that Shelby and Taylor actually get to watch TV. We never seem to have time during the week, which I don't mind one bit. Although I do use it as a distraction when needed because, when they watch, the house quiets and the chaos disappears for a bit.


Of course, our Saturday ended, as it always does, with homemade pizza.


The only downfall to this nice day was ... no Dad!!! Next weekend though!!
