It was a great weekend, and I only took one picture the whole 2 days! On Saturday, all four of us walked to the bakery for donuts. We played outside a ton. Together, we organized toys in the basement. We relaxed.
Today was a re-charge day for everyone. Nate went golfing. I dropped the boys at my mom’s house for a fun day with Grandma Debbie. They made an obstacle course, they played with toys, they were busy all day. I’m not 100% sure of what they do there, but they LOVE being with Grandma Debbie.
After the dollar store, I go to my office. I check the mail and if anything needs to be taken care of, I do that too. I print out a few work sheets that I will use for the week. I write out our activities, my calendar, my to do, the dinner menu, and everything else I need for the week. It’s my planning time. It helps me feel balanced and ready for the week ahead.
After that, I have the afternoon to get the house in order, bake, organize, relax or whatever else I want to do without interruption. Today I spent several hours organizing in our basement. In one corner, I have about 10 totes of random junk, art supplies, etc. It has gotten progressively messier and harder to find things, so today was the day that I finally took everything out, sorted and now it looks fantastic. I am so happy to have everything in order. I just have 2 small children, but I am still running daily/weekly programming, which requires supplies, set up, and planning. At camp, we have a program office, a ball closet, an art barn, my office, a health center- multiple buildings and infinitely more stuff. This is my tiny, at-home version of camp.
And I still had time to sit outside and relax for a little while. The boys came home and still had a ton of energy. We played outside, helped Nate cut the front bushes and I still had to drag them inside at dinner time. I can’t believe how much energy they have!
It was a great weekend and we are ready for another week of at-home fun.
