A Typical Saturday

What is a typical Saturday like in your house? Is it a day for home projects, a day to watch your children play sports, or a day for you to vacate the premises? Do you enjoy time together as a family or do you escape?
I love Saturdays!!! Since we started off with a bang called triplets, it has never been easy for DH to take the children to breakfast. In reality, that's not as easy and fun as it sounds. Instead, we sleep as long as we can, which can mean anywhere from 6am to 8am, and then we wake up for a family breakfast. DH loves to buy the children their favorite bagels or chicken minis and to give me a day off from cooking breakfast. We eat together as a family, and DH & I often read the paper.
Most Saturdays we spend our time together as a family. If I need to run an errand or DH needs a haircut, one of us will leave, usually with a child in tow for "special time". Here in Florida, we spend a lot of time by the pool. The children swim and we grill our lunch or dinner and enjoy their squeals of delight.
Since Florida has so many fun things to see, sometimes we will go on a great adventure. One Saturday shortly after we moved here, we drove to Indian Rocks Beach just to eat Lighthouse Donuts for the first time! We have been to Disney quite a few times, and we've toured the beaches as well. It is so nice to have a relaxed day together as a family.
We've never had a Wii family night, so I think we may try that tonight after dinner. We grilled chicken for lunch, but I'm hoping for a little Pane' Rustica takeout tonight. What do you do on Saturday?
