Derek announced this morning that it was going to be a stinky Saturday. That pretty much means a day full of relaxing, playing video games, wrestling with the kiddos, scrapbooking, baking, building a tent in the living room, playing outside, and most importantly not having to go anywhere. It’s the kind of day where you get to the end and realize that you never took the time to shower, because you just didn’t have a good reason to. Back in the early days of my blog, I posted about mine and Derek’s differing views about the perfect Saturday. . In the past two years, I have really come to appreciate Derek’s perfect Saturday, aka lazy days, aka stinky Saturdays.
The morning started with a little time in the backyard. It was a beautiful morning! Sweet Logan found a bunch of “flowers” in the yard and gave them to me. It was the first time he has ever done that, and I loved it! It’s just such a classic mom/kid moment…the little boy with messy hair and mismatched clothes (that he picked out himself) picking a bunch of weeds of mom.
We had a little car cleaning party, which I really enjoy. It’s so satisfying to climb into a sparkly, clean car. I wanted to get the van all cleaned out, because in just about a week we are going to be loading up the party van and driving to Florida! So fun. Okay, the driving part may not be that fun…but the rest of the trip should be.
I also made cupcakes today, which makes me so happy.
And Derek and I have decided to take the boys camping in a few weeks. I am super excited about that! I am sure that it will be stressful at times…but we are just going to go for one night, and it’s only about 45 minutes away. So if it’s really bad we could just come home. I think the boys will love it so much! We haven’t been camping since Connor was about 9 months old, so it’s definitely about time.
Okay, off to scrap, because scrapping is definitely part of a fun, stinky Saturday!
And then I will shower. Because no one likes to be stinky for real.
Oh friend, you are SO funny, even when you aren’t really trying to be, LOL!
“Because no one likes to be stinky for real.”
Thanks for making me smile! 🙂
I *just* told J TODAY that I want to go camping in a few weeks and just for one night! I am totally looking forward to it and always think about that old blog post of yours.
Camping is fun.
We got pregnant with Connor while camping. LOLOL!
evan would completely agree with derek on a perfect saturday and i would agree with you. it is neat how the more saturdays we share though the more we are learning to appreciate each other’s favorite parts of saturdays and work in some of both. i loved reading about yours and especially calling it “stinky saturday.” that is classic and will be used from now on at our house too… only i will see “copyright d.t.” each time after i say it.
ps- logan’s smile makes me smile too! love it!
That sounds like a really great day! I need some stinky Saturday’s around here, but I don’t think that will happen until I’m finished with school in MAY!!!

You Saturday sounded like fun! Have fun camping!!!
