A Day in Our Life Continued…
Posted: August 18, 2010 Filed under: Mommy Notes Leave a commentAfter my run, I shower. Check e-mail. Facebook. And then hear my Baby Jakey:
Who doesn’t wake up on the right side of the crib:
Takes a few minutes and then discovers his brother left out his bin of cars:
We play outside. Chalk. Wait for Ty to wake up:
Once Ty wakes up, Mama is in SERIOUS need of a second coffee. I rarely stay home all day. Can’t do it. The roads are done. We have the free and clear to drive. Off we go:
And Mama is a happy camper:
We stop by the little produce market, SO YUMMY, and pick up the makings for guacamole and more cantaloupe:
The boys are having taquitoes for dinner. I am going to make them some fresh guacamole:
Jacob is VERY excited. Ty is watching Wonder Pets:
We wait for dinner to cool down and color with our new crayon creations (have no idea what to call them):
While outside on our dinosaur-mud hunt, we picked up some leaves to do leaf prints:
Jakey had fun coloring too:
Tyson’s leaf. He is in a MAJOR green phase right now. Everything green…he loves:
Dinner time. Jake tears up the guacamole as I thought he would. He left a little for Daddy:
EVERY.single.flipping.time:
“Wha…me. I didn’t throw anything.”
I clean up the kitchen. Again. The boys run up to the playroom. Jake Lego’s again. Ty jumps:
Train fun:
And then we hit 6. Witching hour. The whining. Tantrums. Hold me NOW. Begins:
So, we look like this for the majority of the time remaining until bath:
We read. The boys LOVE I Spy books. Awesome time taker-upper-er:
“Jake, do you see the water can?”
One last slide session in the playroom…
Potty time. Jake has to do EVERYTHING his brother does. EVERYTHING:
Bath. I wish I could capture the VOLUME level. It’s LOUD. Very LOUD:
My LEAST favorite time of the day. Pajama time. Chase each boy down. Get them dressed. Not fun or easy:
And tonight, while chasing down Ty and getting him dressed Jake decided to PEE in the corner behind the chair. Awesome:
Get the boys dressed. Kung Fu Panda time. Jakey is super sleepy:
Jake down. One more to go:
Finally, Daddy walks through the door:
While Daddy changes and eats dinner, Ty and I play Candy Land. He cheats. I lose.
Books. Brush teeth. Ty goes down. It’s 9:13 and I am finally sitting down. Kicking my feet up. And picking up my book for the FIRST time all day:
NOT EVEN CLOSE to what I imagined the life of a stay-at-home mom would be. Not even close. And a potty training overall update: TODAY = no accidents from Ty. Just Jake’s little after bath situation. Go figure. So proud of Ty. We are getting there SLOWLY but surely.
