We have declared weekends, especially Sunday, family time.
On Saturdays, we get various things done that are unable to be done during the week. This could mean doing tasks around the house and/or getting errands done. We try to get these necessary things out of the way as quickly as possible. Saturday evenings, we sit down and enjoy a movie together as a family. This past Saturday, we watched Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story. It’s a great, inspirational family movie. (We rented it from Netflix.)
On Sundays, we head to church in the morning and come home to a nice meal together. The day may be filled with relaxing, exploring, watching a movie, playing games, or whatever we decide to do as a family. This has worked out very well for us, and Munchkin looks forward to this time.
Last night, Munchkin and Daddy started up with some dissections for her Marine Biology class. This week, she’s working on completing the labs for her class to wrap things up. She has already completed the book portion. She chose to do most her labs at one time instead of throughout the unit.
Today, I started back up with the Body Gospel exercise program. Due to a few health issues, I had to take some time off. I’m basically starting back at the beginning and working my way up again. I look forward to getting back to exercising. I was able to pick up a nice pair of good quality tennis shoes for exercising for a really great deal which will help. I was using Munchkin’s shoes, but I really needed a pair of my own.
Munchkin is working on taking one of her essays and creating a book out of it. She’s been working on painting illustrations to go with the story. She’s having fun with it.
What do you like to do on the weekend? Is it family time or a time to get things done or both?
