Fridays are a special day in our household.  We set the school books aside for the day, do some cleaning and make homemade pizza for lunch.

I remember the days when making a pizza was SO much work and took so much time!  These days it is a family affair.  Today my 6 year old (we will call her Onna) helped mix up the dough for the crust, my 12 year old (Onni) shredded the cheese and I made up the sauce while the crust baked.  When it was finished Onni put the cheese on, Bubs (my 7yo) decorated the pepperoni pizza and Onna, my 6 year old decorated the sausage pepperoni pizza. :)  We started at 11:15 and were done on time, pizzas cooling on the table by 12:05!

And so where were the other children???  Well, you see, to get a job like that done the babies have to be corralled and kept happy......Meet Madame Blueberry and Sir Blueberry.....

So, after dinner (and a MAJOR clean up :)), the children and I rest...sometimes play a game, watch a movie, go for a walk(when it is cooler) or read.  We call this day our home blessing day so when the house is nice and clean (which it doesn't ALWAYS get done!) the weekend goes so much smoother.

Friday evenings are date night.  My hubby and I stay home but the children go off together and play games.  They get popcorn and healthy snackie foods.  My hubby and I then go off together and watch a movie or just sit and talk.  Sometimes he brings home take out and other times I make fried tacos.  It is a night when the children get to stay up a tad later.

SO, that is our Friday in a nutshell.  A day that we always wake up and say, "YAY!  It's Friday!"
