Weekend Laziness

The past few weeks have been so nice around our house because he haven't had anything to do! No plans, no obligations, nothing...very rare around our house. It's a sign that our children are getting older. I would have never had a weekend come when we didn't have some kind of activity planned to get out of the house to keep them busy. But now, they are getting old enough where they are more easily entertained, typically entertaining themselves. Young and I were able to take of a list of "to-dos" around the house and just have some relaxing time together with no plans.  Here are a few snip-its of our past few lazy weekends...a whole lot of nothing.

I have to admit TV played a small roll...Saturday morning cartoons and movie nights! (they aren't watching anything scary in the first pic, they were just complaining that it was too cold in the house)  They became fans of Busytown that comes on Saturday mornings.  And we watched Cinderella for the first time.  We've read the book and Cameron has her dress, so seeing the movie was much anticipated.  When it was over I asked Cameron how she liked it, "it was beautiful, Mommy."

Timo has been working hard in his spare time perfecting his tinker toy skills.  Yes, he build all of these all by himself.  He will stay in the play room for an hour or so and then appear with some new invention.

Cameron is always the big helper.  I've done a little "spring cleaning" and she is more than happy to help.  Here she is stocking the new package of toilet paper.

A little exercise...we managed enough energy to walk down to the park one sunny Sunday afternoon, Cameron was going crazy on the spinning thing.  But if Young and I were feel too lazy, the kids were more than happy to do their "exercises" on the inside bike.

And since there was no rush any day, I spent time teaching the kids things they could do themselves in the kitchen.  Cameron loves corn muffins so we made those one afternoon.

Timo wanted to make his own peanut butter waffle...but licking it off the knife was more fun for him!

And we spent a little time in home bible study doing the "Armor of God".  This is Timo's shield he made.  You can see his "belt" of truth or his "shoes of peace" but they're there.  I hope we can plan to have more lazy weekends...it's just good family down time!
