Saturday is just my favorite day of the week. Love it.
We started the day off with a morning date (post on that later) and then we had time to work on projects, fold the mountain of laundry as a family, hang around the house, and finally go to Anna's soccer game in the evening.
On the way home we picked up some pizzas from Little Caesars. As I carried the pizzas into the house I decided on the spot that we needed to take this meal outdoors. Why? Why not!
We grabbed some paper plates, napkins, Scott's 2 Liter Diet Pepsi, and filled plastic cups with water. I will tell you though, that my idea to eat on the patio table was met with some resistance. Payton and Anna were convinced it was covered with spiders and did NOT want to sit there. So after I lifted & patted each and every seat cushion, inspecting for spiders and scorpions, and giving the all-clear . . . they begrudgingly sat down to eat.
But once that pizza box opened all of their worries fade away.
Hey mom! Take my picture!
A dinner outside always seems to go along with threats to throw someone in the pool. Today it was Anna's turn.
She had a tight grip!
She didn't go in. Do you see Payton hiding in the corner?
After cleaning up an evening like this ends with a game of Scum (our favorite card game), an episode of Studio C, and a scoop of ice cream.
I love days like this with my family. Saturdays are pretty much perfect.
