This past weekend, Joe and I had nothing planned.We had absolutely nothing planned and it was glorious.
We wanted to keep it that way which is why we said we wouldn't plan anything for ourselves. Just wake up and decide what to do then.
We watched six movies (I feel no shame). We took a 3-hour nap. We went to the Woodruff Place flea market (which I highly recommend for you locals). We sat on the front porch. I read. We played Candyland. We drank sweet tea. We pushed Madeline on the swing for hours. We ate well. (And by "well," I mean we ate according to our taste buds, not nutritional value.)
Mac and cheese.
Junk popcorn.
Beer burgers.
Coffee malts.
Can you do something for me? Brew a pot of coffee. Put it in the fridge. Go to the store and buy vanilla ice cream and Ovaltine. Now make a coffee malt. You're welcome.
Back to the weekend. More than anything else, we spent time together. Just the three of us. Which we haven't done in a long time. It was wonderful.
We needed it because this weekend, we're diving back into the crazy schedule. In two days, we'll pack in three birthday parties and a wedding.
I've already planned to somehow squeeze in one or two (or 15) coffee malts.

This is truly a luxury! I think maybe I'll try this if I ever have a weekend with nothing planned. Or maybe when the kids get out of school, we can have a few of these unplanned days.
We had our first weekend with "just us" maybe ever. It was wonderful, and I think I need to "plan" to not have a plan more often. I need to take some notes from you on how to really relax.
I AM SO HUNGRY NOW! Seriously, I think I drooled reading through all of the menus.
Glad you had a down weekend.
Just one question. How in the world did you pack 6 movies into one weekend?!? I think you guys need to have more kids ;)
