Taking it Easy

Sunday is the only day to do stuff, and the only day all of us are home during the day.  Usually there are birthday parties, or other events going on, so it is always a fun, non stop day.  This Sunday is like the calm before the fun begins again.  We went to get my daughter's birthday gift first thing in the morning, everything Elsa, bicycle and helmet, lucky for me today it was $20 less.  Then we came home, and the kids played and I just had to lay down.  Even though I am feeling better, my body is tired from healing itself I suppose, also it was another hot day, so nice to be able to just lay down and rest.

During the week we are all busy with school and work, Saturday we stop everything, no outside contact for 24 hours, except going to synagogue, there are no electronics, events, or to do lists, just a break from the world.  So Sunday is the only day to do everything that we cannot do during the week, and usually I love to take the kids on adventures around town.  Happy that today was a low key day. Finished it off by making some of my mom's recipe, vegetarian Borsht, Russian beet, cabbage, and vegetable soup. Taught a Yoga class to friends, and came home with their Beef Sweet and Sour Borsht, from the freezer.  I love to taste everyone's version of this soup, it is one of my comfort foods.

I just ran across the video below, and it is such a brilliant idea.  Being a parent gets us back to our inner child in many ways.  There are never enough swings in the park, and my kids get mad at me if I want to swing too.  This is such a genius idea, but then again, there would be a line a mile long, what do you think?

Just fell asleep putting my baby to sleep,
Had to get up and blog,
Now going back to sleep, in my bed,
I love sleep,
Good Night,
