the perfect saturday

8 AM-- Breakfast with three bright eyed boys.. (scrambled eggs and french toast)

9 AM-- Temple session with the husband


NOON-- Swimming with some of our favorite girls.



1 PM- Lunch at the pool. (delish turkey sandwiches, chips, cold drinks, cookies)




3 PM-- Quick shower, long afternoon nap


5 PM-- Eat popsicles

6 PM-- Grill out with the family (hamburgers, hot dogs, salad, corn on the cob)


7 PM-- Watermelon for dessert! Nothing says summer like a juicy, red melon!

8 PM-- Watch a ridiculous episode of WIPEOUT. I love when Ben laughs so hard he can't breathe.



9 PM-- Play an intense game of "Go Dinosaur" with the kids. Winner=Zack
Z: Benny, do you have any pro-to-cer-a-tops?
B: Go Dinosaur.
Z: O, man!

10 PM-- Read Fablehaven until the exhausted kids start snoring.

11 PM-- Play cards in bed with the husband. We invented our own strip-style version of Racko :)

MIDNIGHT-- stay up talking about the perfect day, our car troubles, our blessings.

eventually fall asleep........

(Yes. when documenting a PERFECT day, you must always include the menu..)

I missed Wipeout? My kids also laugh so hard at that show.

I totally agree about the menus. My mom always posts hers on her blog when they have family parties. It totally makes me homesick.

Strip Racko huh? Hmmmm....:) I love that you read your kids long big books. I always resolve to do the same when you mention it. Must. follow. through.

Which book of Fablehaven are you in? I just finished chap 6 of book 2... Natalie (3yrs old) said she wanted me to stop reading "nableheaven" in the car because she was tired... But my kids LOVE it- Chad especially- he begs me to read daily- LOVE THAT!... Michael (10yrs) has read all 4 at least 4 or 5 times each...

Sounds like you had a fun day- I LOVE LOVE LOVE summer! :)
