Good Day....of Doing Nothing...and Everything

Today the girl's and I actually had nothing to do! What a concept. Tim went with Tim Loyd and some other guy's at church to go shooting done at Ozark and out to eat at Lambert's. But the girl's and I had no plans whatsoever.

So, we began by sleeping in of course. Followed by breakfast of bacon and eggs...my favorite. We then played the Wii together for awhile. Emily was itching to get outside, since it was suppose to be a nice day today. So, we put together her t-ball set she got for her birthday including the tee and the throwback net. The girl's spent some time hitting and throwing, while I checked on the trees we planted last year. They aren't real tall but it seems like most of them are pretty sturdy...and in 60 years from now we might be able to sit under them :).

The girl's then decided it was time to go swing. I think they were swinging for almost an hour. I would push Emily and the girl's would talk about anything. It was at that moment that I was like...this is what life should be like. Day's with nothing to do but go out a hit a ball and swing on the swing set. While swinging they decided they wanted to make a puppets and a stage. So we came in and they each made a sock puppet. Then they used a big box to make the stage and a piece of material taped to it, to be a curtain. They did a couple of skits for me. Too funny.

Emily is now sleeping and Kayla and I have been brainstorming demonstration ideas, blogging and now piano practice. It has been a good day. I have steaks out thawing and grilling is in order for such a nice day!
