A Saturday Off?

Steven has been on normal day shift schedule for the past week or so. What I mean by that is 8 hour shifts with Saturday and Sunday off. I seriously cannot even remember the last Saturday he had off. And on nights, his first day off he would sleep half of the day so we wouldn't see him. This past Saturday he had off and had gone to sleep normally on Friday, so when the girls woke up and he was waking up too they started getting excited. Lilly figured out that she was going to get to share breakfast, lunch, and dinner with him. She and Sadie were giggling because they were so excited. It was so cute to see them that excited over something as simple as sharing meals together.



Since we're pretty early risers, we took advantage of the day. We ate breakfast, got dressed, and headed out. The girls got on their bikes, Ruby in the stroller, and we headed for a playground. We got there and the girls parked their bikes and headed on to play. There were flowers there to pick, a giant playground, and they were able to ride their bikes around it. Ruby felt left out because she couldn't take her bike and helmet so she borrowed Lilly's helmet to play in. And yes, Lilly's helmet did fit her. Sadie and Ruby have big heads- Thanks Steven!- and Lilly's head, even though she's older and taller, is the smallest of the three.



What I love about these days is that I take my camera and just photograph whatever I can. The girls will occasionally break from playing for a little while and let me take a few photos while they rest. After they excitement form the playground wore off we packed up, got on bikes, and headed to find another playground. We found another playground and gazebo and played there for awhile then headed home for a much needed potty break. The girls were beat so we headed out for lunch and then back home so Ruby could nap. And when she woke up we headed to another, you guessed it, playground! But since Ruby is about to wake up from her nap and we have to get Lilly from school, I'll save it for another time.

Oh and I am making it a priority for Steven and I to take more pictures together and to try and get some more family ones, you'll see more and more photos of us. And Steven hates it!
