On this lovely sunday afternoon, I have been pondering pleasant, sunday afternoon activities. As a child at my church we all learned the "appropriate" activities for a sunday afternoon:
- Write in a journal
- Write a letter
- Read Scriptures
- Read other books
- Watch a quiet movie
- Avoid on pain of spanking, fighting with siblings
and my dad's personal favorite:
- TAKE A NAP
I was brought up thinking that it was practically mandatory to sleep on sunday afternoons! As a smaller child who, by nature, detested naps, I avoided and resisted them. As I got older, I learned the virtue of a really good nap and learned to really enjoy it. Now that I am the parent, we still do sunday afternoon naps, but not always. I have realized though, that, all of us REALLY enjoy our sleep. Also, that my little family sleeps ADORABLY!
Case in point:
 |
| They learned quickly, this is days after Aubrey was born! |
 |
| See how peaceful they appear! |
 |
| This is what you call, "playing till you drop" |
 |
| Even awkward sleep is cute! |
 |
| The great, baby burrito, and daddy.....asleep! |
 |
| "beautiful dreamer....." |
 |
| look at this and TRY to think of something cuter!! |
 |
| This was an ACTUAL sunday afternoon nap! |
 |
| Baby asleep on mommy's chest LOVE IT!! |
And just in case, you were wondering.........Yes, I too have been caught on camera.......asleep.
 |
| ...in my defense I was pregnant at the time....... |
