Lazy weekend

I’ve just experienced one of most luxurious weekends in my life; yet, I’ve been at our home. No fancy five star hotels with huge rooms, comfy beds and out-of-this-world service. Just time with the family.

I was allowed to sleep late on Saturday, and then I woke up in an empty house. Sanna had taken boys out, so I had the house for myself. I decided to return the favour, and made lasagna — I’ve been recently making more and more of our lasagnas. Sanna’s still better, especially this time, as the chicken was a bit tasteless.

Then we went to swim in the nearby swimming hall. It was the first time for Niilo, and he loved it. After that it was nap time for boys, and we could do our own things. Then we visited crazy days in Stockmann and had a good dinner with my younger sister and her sons. Some sauna and chocolate were the program for the rest of the evening.

Today, I’ve been able to do a couple of work related items that have been pending since late August, and then made a meal of tenderloin beef and potatoes with black pepper sauce. Sanna baked an apple pie that was consumed late afternoon when my cousin visited us with her family. Then I played some football with Aapo, and retracted to my den to write some reviews from past trips and this entry.

Nothing beats good family time. You don’t do anything special, but feel special all day long.
