A Real Saturday

It seems like my husband and I have lost our Saturdays far too often in these past few months. I have to work, or he has to work, and only sometimes do we both have to work. It's especially lame for the one who has to spend Saturday alone... which for me makes it like every other day of the week. But today was a real, blissful, Saturday. Stephen did go to the office for a couple hours, but not for long. I made waffles in the morning, we flipped through channels on tv, then moved around out living room furniture and put up all the pictures that Stephen gave me last week. Well, he put them up. I helped. A little. Then he went to the office and I picked up the living room and kitchen. He came home and I made a yummy dinner, he picked up a pumpkin and some candy, just in case we had any trick or treaters. He also got some dry ice, and after he gutted the pumpkin he filled it with water and dry ice... and it was really, really cool. We watched Pirates of the Caribbean (that's about as scary a movie as I can stand.. lol) then our friends Barbie and Ken came to admire our new decor for a few minutes. We even drove around town in the dark to take a time lapse on the Boulevard. It was a FUN Saturday. So today that's what I'm thankful for. The way Saturday should be.
