Saturday is a special day...

Saturday is the work day around here.  We have been trying to make it a little more fun lately, by getting our work done early and then having something to do in the afternoon.  We did just that today. the kids quickly got their chores done and then we went swimming.  I think it was probably the nicest day of the year (winter) so far, so it really was hard for Chas and I to want to take the kids swimming, but we did cause we said we would!  That darn keeping your word thing is a hard lesson to learn when you are a parent. I find myself constantly thinking, "Dang it, why did I say that?"  Lessons learned over and over and over. But we had a great time, yes I even got in the water and even went down the slide with the kids.  They all had a blast! It was a successful family event, cause not all of them are! What a great day!
