We had one of those rare yet glorious, low key weekends. We had no real plans. We ate breakfast at the country club. We all {but for MFS} napped on Saturday. I almost emptied my ironing basket. We watched football. We read. We played in the yard. I made my menu and grocery list. We went to church. We watched Stephen play baseball. We just hung out. We enjoyed unstructured time with each other. We were a family!
Deep in my heart I wanted to be in Mobile meeting my new niece, visiting with my grandmothers, and watching my girls play with my double first cousin's little girls. For a host of reasons that wasn't going to happen, but I made no plans with friends just in case it did.
On Sunday, I just couldn't bring myself to leave my house and my family to make my weekly grocery store run. Making the menu and the list is typically the hard part, and I know that it makes my week run more smoothly if I knock out this chore. However this week I just didn't want to leave the comfort of our back porch rocking chair and the voices of my sweet boys.
I'm glad I put it off because if I'd run that errand I would have missed the mud paint that was taking place in my backyard.
