Most days I'm up at 5am so I have time to get dressed and ready before everyone else wakes up but being up twice a night with Ivy kinda throws a wrench in my plans and I take what sleep I can get! I'm always up by 7am though - so this is a 7 am day...
7am
Coffee with the Lovin Man
this is one of my favorite times of the day-we usually talk about our plans for that day or evening before he heads out to the daily grind.
After he leaves I'll eat breakfast,
(this morning it was toasted bagels with whipped mango butter-its amazing)
and have my 'quiet time'
If its a 5am day this is already done-otherwise it happens now, after Michael leaves and before the girls wake up
8am
Good Morning Gwen! I put food in her belly pretty much the second she wakes up otherwise there is much whining and crying and general gnashing of teeth
She asked to do school as soon as she woke up so I decided to seize the moment and oblige
we did Math and her little devotional and then she wanted to play. This was my chance to blast my still damp from last nights shower hair with the blow dryer, throw it up in hot rollers,
and put my game face on. This is my game face:
hot rollers are the way to go-they're a multitaskers dream...
9am
Good Morning Ivy!
-and silly-
but mostly adorable
enough admiring! time to get dressed!
Ivy doesn't
3 girls dressed and ready and heading out the door for
10am: Storytime!!
11am: Leaving the Library and headed to HEB for a few groceries
12 pm
Home again!
Lunch then naptime
Gwen and I read some stories while Ivy slept-I'm trying really hard to make sure I spend some alone quality time with her and Ivy usually takes a good 3 hour nap right around here. And yes. that is a spiderman book.
Otherwise known as 'mommy sanity hour!'
I did computer stuff (read wasted time) while the girls slept/rested
and avoided this pile of laundry

| don't worry I folded it ...eventually |
Ivy actually woke up with a dirty diaper about 1:30 and fell back to sleep at 3, and Gwen got up from her rest at 3- so they're obviously plotting against me and tag teaming...
3pm
More mommy chores!
diaper stuffing!
dish washing!
floor sweeping!
and outside playtime for Gwen
4pm
I had a fitting for a prom dress - that I didn't take pictures during because -awwkward
but here is a picture of the sparkly trim I'm adding to the dress
5pm
making a salad for small group tonight!
looking at food made me hungry so I snacked on some chips and jalapeno dip right out of the blender because I'm classy like that
6pm
Small Group!
Small group is our weekly bible study with some couples from our church-they're an awesome group:) we're studying James right now.This is the fail part of today's blog because I completely forgot to take pictures of anything at all. But the food was good, the conversation stimulating and the kids wore themselves out in the backyard. I call that a win, win, win.
10pm
Home from small group! We put Gwen to bed, (her normal bedtime is 7:30-except on Wednesdays!) and I fed Ivy one last time (until 3am anyway)
11pm
Michael and I got ready for bed ourselves and fell asleep almost immediately! We have to be well rested so we can do it all again tomorrow and this is way too late for us-because we're old people now...
There it is my day in pictures-I hope you enjoyed it! Its a lot harder than you'd think to remember to take pictures all day!
So now I'd like to see your day! In pictures please:)
bahaha, "general gnashing(sp?) of teeth" (: I know what you meaaan.
