Sundays...

I love Sundays. It's a lazy day for us around here. Sometimes we stay in our jammies; sometimes we don't. Hubby goes grocery shopping and I get to spend time with all the kids. Just us and nothing pressing to do. It's our day to just...be.

We might clean...or not. We might bake...or not. We might do laundry...or not. Some of us might nap...or not. We almost always just relax, hang out, and have fun. It's our day to just be our own little family. As chaotic as it can be at times, Sundays are almost always NOT chaotic because there's no pressure to be somewhere at a certain time, rush to get something done, or jockey for position in the ranks of the household. We just go about our business at a leisurely pace, stopping to embrace the most precious moments life has to offer.

Sundays are a great way for us to forget about the daily hustle and bustle, yet they prepare us for the chaos of the week ahead by allowing us to forget about it all for just one day. It is the one day of the week that I look forward to the most. It's the day I get to play school with Jack in his room, belt out Princess tunes like "Belle," with Liv, let Leia nap on my chest on the couch, and pretend play with Liesl and her Little People. It is the only day of the week that I don't mind getting up early because I know it means spending the most amazing moments with each of my children individually.

I need my Sundays.
