I Had a Free Afternoon? I Made Something?

I can't believe it. This is more rare than an eclipse happening twice in one day.

I had a free afternoon. I almost forgot what a free afternoon feels like!

At 2 pm I made my own coupon organizer and finally got everything ready for future shopping trips.

Then I got my daughter from tutoring at school by 3 pm.

Little son and daughter had no games/practices or anything.

Silence in the house for 2 hours while my youngers played at the park from 3:15 to 5 pm.

My husband and son had baseball practice at RVMS and were done early by 4:30 pm. They went out to celebrate at Chuys because my 12 year old maintained his high honor roll GPA for the first progress report of the 4th quarter.

Then my high schooler son texted me and asked for a ride home at 4:30 pm because baseball practice ended early.

4:30 pm and I don't have to be running and driving around until 9 pm? I am in shock.

My 7 year old son made his own dinner by 5 pm. Yes peeps, MADE HIS OWN DINNER. He heated up 5 frozen taquitos and sat down at the table with a glass of milk.

Whoo hoo. (jumping into a break down routine here)

Then my hubs went upstairs and took a nap for a couple hours.

Then my high school son takes my 9 year old daughter on a BSD by 6 pm, a brother sister date. My daughter got a BSD coupon for her birthday yesterday. They both rode their bikes to the Fry's area and went to Carls Jr for dinner and were gone for a good hour.

So what did I do from 3 to 8 pm?

I sewed! I crafted! I altered my top from Old Navy that I got two months ago so it would fit me better. Then I took the leftover fabric and added other leftover fabric and made my daughter a bohemian style skirt. I am nearly done. I even made a fabric flower clip to go with it. Pictures to follow soon.

So crafting and no cooking for a family of 6, no running around, no driving and rushing, no homework, and no one knocking on my door and bothering me this afternoon. Even my dog snoozed all day.

It was really nice. Everyone did what they wanted to do today.

What do you do with a free afternoon?
