saturdays

i am not sure why but saturdays seem to be disasters. the kids really have a hard time following rules and listening saturday mornings. things calm down in the afternoon while dad is at work. k takes a nap and r reads and plays. but afterwards, we need motion and something to do but the kids are tired too. so it never seems to work. the hardest for me is that i do not recover from their behaviors on saturday mornings very quickly and seem to have a grudge part of the day.

today was not so bad in the latter half of the day. the kids played well together or at least were cooperative. k had the world's shortest nap -- 20 minutes/ we went to the library and got pizza. both ate well and we read books which is pleasant. but not a stellar day and it makes me disappointed because i want our weekends together to be fun and memorable, not just another two days to get through.
