I've decided to enter a contest. Goodness it's been ages since I've written on any kind of assignment. So, here is a link to the contest- you should enter! I know that you all have an idea of what your perfect day is and they are all probably as different as the number of days there are!
All Mine
Yawn.
Stretch.
Roll over and snuggle a little bit closer against my sweetie.
Creak. Door squeaks.
There's one. Cover her up too.
Tip toe, tip toe, peek.
There's two and three. Squish a little more.
Thump! And there's four. He'll have none of that! He'd rather jump on us all!
A gurgle and coo and number 5 wants to join in the fun.
Giggles and tickles and everyone up!
Warm socks, hot breakfast, happy voices.
Sigh. Smile. Saturday.
Music and Dancing and Dusting.
Who said work can't be fun?
Outside.
Trimming, pulling, sweeping.
Now play!
Run and chase and tag.
Roll and kick and throw.
Bubbles!!
Red Cheeks, cold hands, heavy breath. In we go!
Warm fire, warm hands, warm soup.
Warm tummies.
Sigh. Smile. Saturday.
Four and Five down for the count.
Squish on couches and snuggle under blankets.
Funny movie. Yummy Popcorn. Hot chocolate.
Mmmmmm.
Sleepiness. Dozing on my honey's arm.
Yawn. Stretch. Snuggle a little bit closer against my sweetie.
Wake to hear their happy voices.
Somewhere playing. Love and friendship.
My Dear and I, into the kitchen.
Cooking. Talking. Kissing.
Now everyone.
Clinking, munching, talking.
Sigh. Smile. Saturday.
Winding down, quiet voices.
Bathing, reading, praying.
Hugs. Kisses. Lullabies.
Deep Breath.
So Quiet.
Reading, blogging, a little television nonsense.
Lazy lounging.
Time with my Lover. More talking. More Kissing...
Yawn. Stretch. Roll Over and Snuggle a little bit closer against my sweetie.
Sigh. Smile. Sleep.

I really liked it. Easy to read and totally can relate to. You showed all the feelings and emotions instead of words or the activities. I liked it a lot.
