Monday again! The weeks just seem to fly by lately and before I know it we will be celebrating Christmas!
*

How was your weekend? Mine was lovely and wet and cold!
*
*
I try to stay away from the computer on the weekends (otherwise I find I can spend all my time lost is blog land and get nothing done) so I thought I that today I would share with you one of my favourite weekend moments.

On a typical Saturday we spend the day working either on the house or on the yard.

During winter we try to knock off at about 5.30pm and start to clean up.

Saturday night is Chicken and Chips night at our house. I either roast one or two chooks, we use leftovers and the 2nd chook for Sunday night dinner (which happens to be 'help yourself' night) and lunches throughout the week.o
We peel and chop the potato's
Cook the chips
Dessert is ready to go, so while we wait everyone spends some time on an activity of there choice
Jemima the cat finds her spot on the lounge and catches up on her beauty sleep
Boss the dog isn't so lucky he gets a mat and he has to stay on it,
*
life's tough...,
*
he gives in and makes the most of it.
Nicholas uses his time to catch up on some gaming
WH catches up on his gaming emails while I wander around and take photos :)
*

I love our Saturday nights, they are relaxed and easy. We eat in the lounge room while we watch a family movie.

Do you have any special family routines that you really enjoy?
*
*
Have a great week my friends.

That's the only way to eat chips! Yum (and it is breakfast time here in Amsterdam). Back on a roll here in after a week in sunny Majorca and it is pooring with rain. Have a great week and if you have time I have a great giveaway on my blog Pia Jane Bijkerk's book Amsterdam Made By Hand!
ReplyDeleteYummo! You can have me over any Saturday night you like Nellie :) heheheheee. What a nice routine. I like our Friday nights, we usually get take away when G gets home then watch Grand Designs in bed on my laptop with Minky cozied up next to us. Have a great Monday afternoon,

Sounds like the perfect night in with chicken and chips for dinner and yummy apple pie for dessert. On the weekends at home we usually hang out and have lunch on the deck together with some nice fresh bread bought on Friday, simple but we love doing it. Have a wonderful week. xo
ReplyDeleteHi Nellie, sounds like a typical weekend in our house too. The only difference is that I try not to cook on the weekends. I reckon I deserve a break so we usually have take-away or as you do 'help yourself' Sunday nights. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHello Nellie....!!
ReplyDeleteYour Saturday sounds & looks LOVELY....!!
I WISH we had an easy going routine to share but the weekends are quite hectic & I find I'm mostly out & about away from home....!
There is Sunday morning though....I get to the Market at 5am & Mr SVJ arrives around 8am....We have breakfast together for an hour or so, read the papers & people watch....It's my FAVE time of the week....!
Speaking of which....I hope you have a GOOD one....!
Cheers,
Tamarah :o)
Hi Nellie, what a great sounding weekend. It all looks nice and relaxed, and those chickens in the oven look super tasty!
ReplyDeleteOur weekend was taken up with more packing and loading the trailer for the move! But our tradition stood strong, we have mid morning Sunday pancakes that Hubby cooks for us all! Yum.

Love those kind of weekends. Our was similar. It was a rainy and lazy weekend around here. Didn't get much done which is why I'm off to do laundry now!
ReplyDeleteNellie, sounds like a Saturday that I love. I like those low-key saturday's. I guess it gears you up for the next week.

It sounds like a lovely routine. Ours is pretty similar, depending on if I have to work or not, but deinitely dinner in front of the tv and maybe a dvd.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week Nellie!
I love the sounds of your Saturday nights Nellie! I'd love to do something like that when Grace gets bigger and perhaps have a homemade pizza/movie night or something. It will be fun to create little family rituals as you've done.
