Have you ever had one of those days? A day that ends up being perfect and wonderful from morning to night?
Saturday was a day like that.
Matt was home all day. The weather was perfect and gorgeous. It was just one of those days. The kind that makes you sigh and smile with contentment and gratitude.
You know something that makes me really happy? Seeing all my men work hard. I love it. I love watching Matt work…and the boys working beside him. We spent a good part of Saturday afternoon working outside together getting our garden plots ready and planting potatoes….picking up leaves and sticks…cleaning up the yard.
We were all a delightful picture of filth by the end of the day. Ah…good and filthy…you’ve gotta love it.
There may have been a brotherly squabble or two during the day…but I seem to have blocked it out of my mind.
Mostly there was a lot of teamwork and cooperation.
Malachi was trying to scoop grass clippings with a shovel twice his height. He finally laid it down and started putting the grass onto the shovel with his hand.
We ended the evening with juicy grilled steaks that we were able to eat outside at our picnic table. Then we played a couple innings of baseball. I hit a homerun…and ran around the bases without smacking into a pole…catching my hair in tree branches or falling on my face. Ah, the perfect ending to a perfect day. :)

It looks like a great day. I love seeing you enjoying dinner outside. So excited to start doing that here.
Your boys are such good workers. I am impressed with their teamwork. I’m sure any possible squabbles were just a figment of your imagination. :)
I agree with Kate. They look like such hardworking little angels. Must’ve been somebody else’s children squabbling nearby or something. ;-)
Oh, I love that you have a picnic table in your yard. What a perfect way to end the day! :)
Wow! What a great day. I hope to have some of those soon as well.
Isn’t spring wonderful?:) Looks like a wonderful day!
We had a similar Saturday. Isn’t springtime amazing? I love it!
It looks like you all had a great day, I am longing for some nice warm weather but it’s been cool and rainy the past few days here in Kentucky. Your boys are adorable!
What a blessing to read this post as I look out the window at fog and hear the rain against the window pain. Your pics remind me of days ahead! What memories you are making for these little guys! What character you are forging! Bless you, Laura! I am thankful for what you and Matt are doing! :)
You are such an amazing transformed mom… always looking for the good!!! May God bless you for blessing us. Laura, you light our world!
What a wonderful day you had. I’m looking forward to getting out and playing with my children again!
AH, I love those things too… watching my kids work with my hubby! It makes my heart sing! How excited they get to be PART of what he is doing!!!! Those are the days!!!!!!!
What a great day! I love days like that and you know that you are making the best of memories for your boys.
Don’t you just love it when all of your honies are together doing anything, work or play. I just sit back and soak it in. I absolutely love watching my three together. It just makes me so thankful!
Your day sounds wonderful! We love those outdoor family suppers, too. :)
Blessings,
Michele
Oh, that is my favorite kind of day, too!
Love this Mr. Linky! It’s always so encouraging and I enjoy reading everyone’s posts!!! (Well, as many as I can squeeze in!)
HEY! I didn’t see steak on the menu for the week! What’s going on here?
You played with the boys! They must have been so excited. (Didn’t you post that you don’t “play” with them very often?)
Your day on Saturday sounds a lot like ours. I ended the day feeling very blessed and very thankful.
