I am participating in the March Slice of Life Challenge: A slice a day for all of March. You should do it too! Check it out here. Thank you, Two Writing Teachers!
Saturday.
A weekend! Catch up days: catching up on work and quality-time-snuggles with my children. Well, that’s the idea anyway.
Today is Saturday. The sink is full of dishes that nobody wants to do. The week’s worth of laundry has piled up and up, and last week’s laundry is still waiting to be folded. There are toys all over, and cleaning needs to happen. However,

On a Thought 
I love the pictures and commentary after each little view into Saturday. You had me captivated and smiling.
Thanks so much for stopping by my slice. That’s a nice motivation as I sit to write today’s slice! 🙂
