Weekends take on a whole new rhythm these days with Sydney in school all week. The busyness of Monday to Friday catches up with us in a way that is hard to believe sometimes and it is no more evident than when waking up early on a Saturday morning.
I often feel a bit disoriented waking up on Saturdays, not sure what day of the week it is for the first few seconds and thinking that we've slept in and are running behind. And then there's that euphoric feeling when you realize that you don't in fact have to rush around and can snuggle up in bed for a few more minutes before your day of catch-up begins. Lovely...
This morning started off with a new painting from my little artist. You always know it's going to be a good day when it starts this way.
Sydney has been so into rainbows lately, paints and colours them at any opportunity. Yesterday at school she made this one:
We walked up to piano lessons this morning in the bright and beautiful sunshine. The weather has warmed up considerably this past week and the days are getting longer all the time! It feels as though the worst of winter is behind us.
In fact, we even stopped to take pictures of some flowers that had started to bloom today while walking home. A sure sign that spring is right around the corner!
This afternoon Sydney and I decided to bake a batch of Hamantashen for Purim which is coming up this week. We made cherry ones again this year, they were delicious! The dough was perfect and cookie-like and the filling was just sweet enough. What a lovely treat!
Sydney loved rolling the dough out and cutting out the circles and passing them to me to fill. We work really well together as a team!
After all that baking Syd decided to chill on the couch for a while and watch some Sesame Street and have a bowl of popcorn.
Then, of course, we decided to fold the mountain of laundry that had been sitting in baskets on my bedroom floor for about a week. Syd loves to fold laundry, check out this shot of her happily jumping on the bed while I'm trying to fold!
Decided to try a new recipe for dinner tonight, made a delicious chicken lettuce wrap and served it with spring rolls. It was light and savoury, a great change from the hearty dinners of late!
Hope your Saturday was good to you!
