Today was one of the rare Sundays at home for our little family. EVERY weekend it seems like we have something we have to do, somewhere we have to be, someone we need to see. We talked yesterday about when we'll finish some of the outdoor projects we have left to do this fall and realized that we have something planned EVERY WEEKEND FROM NOW UNTIL CHRISTMAS! It's ridiculous how busy our lives are and our kids aren't even in school yet. I can't even imagine what it's going to be like when they become involved in activities of their own.
Mike was on call this weekend, so we were kind of stuck at home. Happily stuck at home. It's Sunday afternoon, 3:00, and he just went on his first call for the weekend. He worked a few scheduled hours yesterday, but we filled that time by hanging out with Amazih and going to Target and Sam's Club. Mike was able to squeeze in a few hours of unsuccessful bow hunting last night while Amazih and the boys and I watched a movie we picked up at a Redbox yesterday(which by the way was FREE, thanks to my cousin Tammy hooking me up with some codes to use).
We spent the better part of today scratching things off our to-do list. Our apple trees are extremely bountiful this year, so I whipped up some applesauce and apple crisp to make the house smell good this afternoon. I had time to put away all of the boys' summer clothes, and clothes that are too small, and refill their closet and drawers with fresh, cold-weather digs.
We also wasted precious time watching the ridiculous Minnesota Vikings game.
By the looks of our house, you'd never know we were home all day. It's a mess. BUT, we got things done. A little tidying up and we'll be good to go for another busy week ahead.
I'm off to prepare cheesy potatoes and grill pork chops for supper. I hope you had a pleasant, lazy or not-so-lazy Sunday. Enjoy your week.
