It is the weekend! And day 3 of documenting a week in the life. You can read about my Thursday here and what we got up to on Friday here.
To be honest, since becoming a parent, weekends don’t feel quite the same. We don’t go to the pub and we don’t get to lie in. There is just less routine than on a weekday. Which some people possibly appreciate. However, I feel much happier when there is a level of rhythm and structure to the day.
The morning
But I do want weekends to be fun and special for us as a family. One thing we do to that end is that every Saturday morning we make French toast.
7:15 am // breakfast
So, after being woken up by SJ quite a while before 7 am, we dragged ourselves out of bed and I cooked some eggy bread.
Edd wasn’t hungry yet, so he got ready for the day whilst SJ and I ate breakfast.
9 am // housework + playing
After we finished eating, I tidied up around the flat. SJ played with a blanket for ages. I sorted the washing and carried SJ in the washing basket through the flat. Then, Edd sorted the recycling, I hoovered and SJ „helped“. Then we played with her duplo zoo which is one of her favourite toys right now.
10 am // Bible + rest
Edd then took SJ to Baby gymnastics. I made myself a coffee and had a bit of a break. I journaled, prayed, played a song on my guitar and read my Bible study.
Afterwards I started making potato salad for a BBQ we were hosting later in the day.
12 pm // lunch + naptime
After coming home from Baby Gym, SJ had some lunch and then I put her down for her nap while Edd was mowing the lawn in the garden and setting up the BBQ.
Once SJ was asleep I finished some preparations and then laid in bed with my book. I am super tired at the moment so it was nice to have quite a relaxing day.
3 pm // garden, BBQ + friends
After SJs nap we headed outside. SJ climbed over the wall to see her grandparents next door for a bit, I picked some flowers and Edd made a fire.
A bit later our friends arrived. The kids played in the sandpit and we chatted. We ate sausages and salads and it was lovely, despite the weather being a bit unstable. It got a bit chilly after a while, so we headed indoors for some tea, chocolate and playtime.
7:30 pm // wind down
After our friends left Edd tidied and I put SJ to bed. I tried to blog but was too tired so we opted for an early night.
What a lovely day!
