Lakeshore Saturdays

This weekend we went to Lakeshore. For the new readers, Lakeshore does a craft every Saturday from 11am-3pm. Since I have so much free time on Saturdays, due to getting my $$it together personal organizational goals, I have more time to spend with my family on the weekend. So, Saturdays are a NEW big deal with us and have been tagged as "FAMILY TIME!! My husband has started playing golf on Sundays and has let me have my way to enjoy Saturday with the family. Yay, Hubby!! Well, each Monday I post Ladybug's picture of what she did over the weekend at Lakeshore. She was less interested in this activity, but she still had fun and impressed everyone with her vocabulary. She made an Olympic torch and it turned out really cute. They have some really creative ideas at Lakeshore. Well, it is the least they can do, considering those prices!

Saturdays

I usually have a Saturday full of work related or house related chores. I am not the best house keeper, so I have a lot of things to clean up around the house and a lot of clothes to put away before Monday, only to start the process all over again.  It is so easy for me to come home, cook, do laundry and let everything land where it may. But, I am trying to get better and stay organized.  I have been working hard on keeping the house clean and picking up everyday and not letting it pile up.  But, it is still a work in process!  But, I am getting better at my second shift duties and assigning things to my husband when I need help.  Also, having my dinner menu is really a big help. It helps me keep focused on what the meals we will have for the week and what needs to be taken out for the next day's dinner.  Also, if there is an occassion where I am not feeling well or running late, my husband can know what he can help me with or cook for that night.  Well, having said that and gotten way off subject, back to the story about having my Saturdays back!

Well, since I have been cleaning daily during the week, I was able to enjoy my Saturday with treating myself to getting my hair down.  I mean.....my chores were done and my work was done.  This was wonderful news for me!!  My husband took my daughter to Lakeshore and did a free craft. I am not sure if you guys know that Lakeshore does crafts every Saturday. I for one am all about anything that is free and inside during the summer.  Last Saturday it worked out great because I desperately needed to get my hair done and my husband had something fun for my daughter to do while they waited for me to get home.  I was told that this activity was for 3 and up.  I beg to differ.  My daughter did a wonderful job and she is only 2.  Never underestimate a toddler!
