So yesterday was supposed to be a typical Saturday for us...jam-packed with soccer, flag football, 4 bird boys, grocery store, laundry, a little bit of this and a little bit of that... no biggie, right? I have this down to a complete science so the busier we are...the better. Then the email came. Soccer-Cancelled. Flag Football- no games due to wet fields. Grocery store had been cleared off the 'to-do' list because I suprisingly had accomplished this task the evening before. Pure panic crept over my body. What in the world are we going to do when we have 'nothing to do'. Seriously, I know that thought seems completely insane, but like I said, for our family, the busier, the better. So I took the bull by the horns and sat the family down. Again... insane, right? As soon as I said "we're doing N.O.T.H.I.N.G today it was like I just told the bird boys that the world was coming to an end. sssllllloooooowwwww motion, I think the boys drifted off for a minute, or maybe that was me.
They enjoyed every second of it. Rode a little dirtbike, played a little golf, shot a LOT of BB guns, and so forth. A perfect Saturday. Maybe we'll get another one of those in a few years. One can only dream, right...it's just the way we roll.
