Yesterday we spent the day outside: cleaning out the garage, filling up the baby pool for the first time, squirting each other with the hose, laying out on a lawn chair and drinking wine spritzers.
Those last two were just me. Chris doesn’t drink and my kids can’t stop moving for more than five seconds.
It was a good day.
It reminded me how awesome summer is (as if I forgot) and refreshed me enough to tackle these last eight days of school.
I needed a rest and Sunday was it. Last fall, our church started Saturday evening services and we’ve been taking advantage of them ever since. Saturdays are always busy, full of errands and birthday parties, Chris usually working and trips to the gym for swimming or soccer practice. So cramming one more thing in on a Saturday doesn’t seem bad.
And it makes Sundays absolutely the best.
Sundays have literally become a day of rest. We’re together all day as a family (the only day of the week that happens), we get to be lazy and stay in PJs, maybe go out for a late breakfast or an early lunch. We get to play at the park or take a bike ride. I take a break from social media on this day too; no Instagram or Twitter, no updating my Facebook status or watching a Vine video, just completely living in the moment even if it’s just sitting on the couch not doing anything. Sunday nights are usually movie night where the girls eat their weight in popcorn and trail mix and we watch a movie on the couch together. All snuggled up and squished together even though our couch could comfortably hold six.
It’s idyllic in my mind, but, of course, there’s still fighting and the occasional breakdown (normally Elliott). There’s still a fight at bathtime and lots of stop touching your sister! but we’re together, we’ve got no where we have to be, and it’s Sunday.
Sundays are the best.
love these polka dotted pants on you! glad you had a nice sunday, too 🙂
Your necklace is gorgeous. I can’t explain it, but Sunday morning just feels so peaceful – I got up at 6:00 AM yesterday. 6:00! unheard of – but it was so lovely.
You sound like me – I’m usually the one laying out and drinking the summery drink 🙂 It sounds like a great day! I love your top and necklace!
I love this outfit. The colors go great together and it looks like an outfit I swear by on the weekends!

Cute outfit. I wish Sunday’s were a day of rest for me. With the kids home and us together it’s wonderful except for the cooking and cleaning up I have to do 🙂
Sundays are awesome… I need to take real advantage of them again.
Thanks for linking up your pretty self for Passion For Fashion.
I am in love with this necklace! Gorgeous… just pinned you to my Passion for Fashion Favorites. xoxo
You certainly do need those days of rest from time to time! It’s great that you guys have started this family tradition of rest and togetherness.
Such a cute outfit. But more than that I love the way you all spend Saturdays and Sundays. That’s such a wonderful way of connecting to each other. Enjoy it, be happy, and have a good weekend.
