My Day Off

Today felt like Christmas.  The kids had the day off of school, it was Doug's day off too. We found ourselves with nothing much to do and it was absolutely blissful.  I sewed a bit and went running.  Doug took the kids for donuts.  It was an absolutely refreshing day.   Mer had a friend come over, Doug went to work for a couple of hours.  We swam, I actually read a magazine by the pool, (Marth Stewart Living...it  finally came).  We did a little shopping later and ordered take out from our go-to date-at-home eatery Tijuana Flats.

Last week I took some pictures of what's been keeping us so busy lately....Soccer.  Here are some action shots.

 Doug is helping coach both Mer and Max's team. 

This particular day Jack didn't have a game, just team pictures.  

This is what everyone who isn't playing does.  Seek shade and play with toys.  We were just catching a few minutes of Mer's game before driving to another field for Max's.

Max made a sweet attempt at a goal here...too bad he shot it just outside of the goal post.

One more thing that was noteworthy last weekend... the kids made us breakfast in bed Sunday morning.  Mer pulled off a pretty awesome crepe plate.

It sure is fun watching these kids grow up and do all the things they do. Tonight I am feeling like one lucky, refreshed, mama.  Now it's off to bed.  I'm hoping for another relaxing day tomorrow though I may have to do a little housework. We have no soccer games because of tournaments at the fields and I am going to enjoy every minute of it.
