lazy saturday

although it was supposed to be just a normal saturday, and i guess that's what it was. lazzy was the outlook and i ended up getting things done.
family breakfast with some leftover semolina-blueberry-casserole was a treat
joel and the boys cleaned the fish tank, it was soooo needed
weeding the front yard path, wow the weeds have enjoyed the warm rainy weather, but they are gone now
getting started with the next sewing project, a pair of maternity pants
and of course the big project was the baguette baking, for our community dinner, it's a 4 hour's labor, but worth trying and i'm learning it slowly how to be patient and let the dough rise 4 times...
even the whole first floor got a good sweeping
the kids got their music practice with me listening actively to their songs
together with naomi we made fairies, she got a little flower fairies kit from the library and we love to sit together and pick out the beautyful fabric flower pedals, wooden beads for the fairies heads etc...
o and i forgot lunch, grilled pork chops, corn and a fresh garden salad with ice tea
sorted out the books we will need to get from the library to get us started with early american history. i'm very much looking forward to learn about pocahontas, north american indians, reading a lion to guard, white buffalo's story of plains indian life, pedro's journal and many more...
helping the kids to find their pace through the day without being too directive! yes that's a big one, but i'm convinced that it is really important for them to learn to have time and do what they want to. maybe more often to find out what they want to do with the time without us parents telling them... because i'm not listening anymore to the "i'm bored"
i'm tired now and debating if it's time to go to bed... maybe some reading
