While there is definitely some monotony to our days, our weeks, right now, somehow the weekends have managed to feel different, special.
Our weekends are very simple right now which is pretty perfect if you ask me.
Ed is home. For the past couple of weeks we have worked on our little square foot garden. We are finally at the point of planting when I finally make it a point to order some seeds.
We always plan meals around the weather and what we can grill. We eat on the back porch as much as possible – breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner.
We play board games – this MacGyver room escape game we have had for over a year and finally broke into it and it was so much fun and very different than most of the games we play. We completed mission one – four more to go! This will probably be part of our weekends for the next four weeks.
We watch a little more tv than usual and stay up a little later than we should.
We read. We lounge. We play. We rest.
I slow down enough to notice how grown up the girls are getting – it seems with each day.
While I am looking forward to the day we can attend church with our community and take communion and share hugs and hellos and see each other and worship together face to face, shoulder to shoulder, I’m hoping the slower pace of our weekends continues.
