We always feel ...Here it is: don't overplan it. We always feel like we have to plan something FUN for the weekend. And then we're crabby and exhausted, there are bags to unpack, and we don't feel restored for the week ahead. So.<br />On Friday, we rent two movies; one for the family, one for us. We eat pizza in front of the tv, and cuddle on the couch. This is definitely a highlight in our children's lives. Not exactly a waldorf "rhythm" but loved all the same...kind of the official unwinding! Saturday, we all go outside and do work...rake leaves, pile wood, whatever (the kids mostly play). Sunday we often visit with family or friends. We think the kids want to be home, to stay in the pjs, to not comb their hair. Heck, that's what I want to do, too!<br />Sometimes I resent that life forces us to save up only two days a week for fun/family/relaxation. But haven't figured out an alternative yet. Enjoy your weekend!! Just hold your kids, say yes, read lots of stories, kiss their little arms and faces and hands...I only work part time and I certainly miss my kids, too.The Knitty Gritty Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02890656094078973552noreply@blogger.com
