Sunday Chillin'


Have you ever been this relaxed?

We really should take a lesson from our four-legged friends, like little miss Jolene here. That girl knows how to kick back (literally). Perhaps it was the scent of my son's coat, tossed on the couch, that made her extra chill last night.

I'm trying to make sure that I rest a bit on Sundays, maybe do a bit of reading, look away from the laundry pile for a moment or two.

Today, I read a couple of chapters of "The Virgin Cure" by Ami McKay. Spellbinding story. That was until my girl came home from her cousin's house. Then I watched two episodes of "Gilmore Girls" with my own little Rory. She insists that we hold hands while singing the show's theme song together.

My son has a friend over and they are currently engaged in a Nerf battle with dad.

Now, I've got a menu for the week to plan...but that shouldn't be too mentally exhausting. Then, there's that laundry pile, ever beckoning...

How about you? What's your favourite thing to do on a Sunday?

  1. Haha Jolene sure does look relaxed! So cute. Sounds like you had a really good day. I hope you let that laundry pile languish.

    1. Doesn't she though? Her mouth is hanging open. Ha. I did let the laundry languish a bit, but I'm facing it today. ;)

  4. My favorite thing? It's a tie between what Jolene is doing (LOL) and going out adventuring. Totally smiling about the Gilmore Girl song. I used to watch that with my oldest daughter when the show first came out. It's a mom/daughter thing. :)

    1. If I were to lie down at all in the afternoons, I would end up like Jolene too! I used to watch the Gilmore Girls by myself, so it's funny to watch it again with her. She looks away when there's kissing. ;)

  5. I love Sundays purely for the fact that you feel able to do what you want! If you want to enjoy some outdoor fun with the family- you can, if you want to relax - you can. I like having the guilt free option! Sunday is that day in our house! Glad you took some time to yourself this past weekend! J9x

  6. My favorite thing to do on a Sunday is pretend I'm sleeping while my husband makes waffles for the kids. When they come to peek in on me....I keep pretending. Then I read. Ha!

    Jolene is so sweet! My dog would pee on the couch. Want another dog??
