Saturday is a special day...

Remember that Primary song?

"Saturday is a special day, it's the day we get ready for Sunday?"

I can't remember the last time I got everyone bathed, shoes shined, hair combed, etc, on a Saturday. In fact, who the heck shines their shoes anymore?

I can barely keep up most Saturdays. There are soooo many things to do that we cram into one day. Sometimes, when I wake up on a Saturday morning, I just lay there and whimper about all the things that need to be done and places that we need to go.

This past Saturday was an especially busy one. It was our Ward picnic at noon (which I had signed up to bring something). Then Curtis found out that there was a dance recital at his school that he needed to be there for (that took 5 hours out of his day with set-up and clean-up). It was at the same time as the picnic, so I had to herd everyone to that on my own. In addition, Hannah had her School Softball Awards picnic at 2:00 at another park. That was to last until 6:00.

Curtis hit homers on his first two hits, so for the rest of the game he batted lefty. And he still almost made a home run each time. Why didn't I realize he was such a good softball player? You'd think after 18 years together I'd know him a little bit.

Hallie did really good, and I don't think she's played much. In fact, I've never seen her play before at all.

It was a super busy day, but we had fun. I just hope this Saturday is a little less busy!
