Living a Dream

This past Saturday morning was the things dreams are made of.  The older two kids are old enough to entertain themselves when they get up early on a Saturday morning.  They played the PS4 quietly, with the volume down low enough not to disturb our sleep.  They didn't even wake up their three-year-old sister.  (Hallelujah!)  And the husband and I got to sleep in until about 7:30.  Trust me, that's sleeping in.

Adelyn did have her school festival and singing performance late in the morning, but we still had several hours of good, old fashioned family time.  We had Flinstones playing on TV--yes, the original cartoon from 1960.  Plus, the kids and I had time to play several games in a row.  We played Blokus, Chess and Pass the Pigs.  Pass the Pigs is a fun game where you roll two small, rubber pigs to accumulate points.  If you get a "Pig out" then you lose your points for that turn, so it's a definite gamble!  Even my littlest one gets into this game, so it's fun for everyone.  And--fun fact--it's been around since 1977 under a different name, but was renamed as Pass the Pigs back in 1984.
