Super Saturday

We have a couple fun Saturday traditions at our house. Friday is our take care of the house day. I have been using a cleaning schedule from HouseOfOrder.com for a couple years and it really works for me. We like to do this so that, one, our house doesn't get neglected and I don't get too overwhelmed and two, so that we can do something other than clean on Saturday when Dennis is home. Another one of our Saturday traditions is to get donuts for breakfast. So nice for us that a yummy bakery opened up in Santaquin.
So yesterday our day went like this: around 10am we went to Little Brown Sugar Bakery and Dennis needed a few supplies for his latest project which I will get to later. Our local store holds this every first Saturday of the month. Each time the kids come in for the craft they get an apron and a pin to collect. This time they made race cars. It was pretty simple. The boys read the directs and did it on their own, Afton just kind of followed along and did it on her own, and Khora loved hammering the nails. The kids had a blast and best of all . . . it's free. They also had free popcorn which was a little bonus.

Next we had some outdoor play time at the new park in Spanish Fork while I did my shopping at Maceys. It was such a wonderful spring day for it! Isaac rated this park a number 9 on the fun scale. This new playground had some stuff for older kids so everyone had fun and in the summer they have a splash pad too. Isaac bought a new basketball with his savings and the kids all got new shoes. Whew! It took about 4 hours.

When we got home Dennis worked on his latest Honey-Do for me. He's putting up a new counter and cupboards in the laundry room for me. It looks great so far and he's almost finished. (I'll take pictures when it's done.) He's also putting some in the garage which includes another counter, where I can do my flower pots and stuff. It's all part of the de-clutter and organization project of 2011. It's all so great and makes me feel good. So. . . it's been a Super Saturday!
