Lazy Weekends Aren't Always Bad!

The kids and I were daddyless all weekend, and I always dread that.  It's one thing to be without Jonathan during the week, but I strongly dislike him being gone over our weekends.  This weekend we didn't even have any plans to keep us busy while he was away.  I have to admit that Saturday felt like the longest day.  I have a cold, and all I wanted to do was nap (but three kids do NOT want to nap on a Saturday).  We had fun, but I still felt so guilty that I was watching the clock some waiting on bedtime.  Sunday, however, was a great day with my kids!  I had went to bed in preparation for daylight savings ending and them being up earlier than normal, and I felt so much better as a result.  We had nowhere to go and nothing to do and yet we had a blast!  We played games, fingerpainted, colored, played with toys we haven't touched in a while, went outside, and even still had time for some of mommy's boring chores.  It was a productive and fun day with my little ones.. and this is the only photo I have to show for it.  Justin's face is cracking me up in this one!  The big kids were the only ones who had been coloring, but of course Ryan wanted to join in.  Justin was so sweet and told him that he could come color with him.  He got him all set up and gave him crayons, but then he couldn't reach around Ryan to color too!
