Friday.....

Friday nights are special in our home. Friday signifies the end of the school week, a rest from getting up early. A night when you come home, drop your back pack and don't look at it for two days.



Supper is normally something easy and kid friendly. It could be soup and a pb&j. It could be pizza or Mc Donalds. Followed by a leisurely warm bath to wash away the week, as opposed to the rushed bath that happens on school nights, to make sure we meet bed time. Daddy tucks in on Friday nights, that is a treat, it is the only day he is home late enough to do that.



Friday is also the day that I change the sheets on the beds. So on Friday night, after the back pack dropping, kid friendly supper, warm bath, off to the fresh, clean smelling sheets, and a warm bed, already turned down. The movie is already playing in the TV, a luxury only for Friday nights. Daddy follows to do the tuck in honors.

Doesn't this make you want to crawl in?


Look at the paint peeled on the walls...I give up.....but the bed...doesn't it look inviting?



They may be spoiled a little, but that is ok. Watching them snuggle down into their fresh covers and drift off to sleep is worth it.
