My friend Megan did a post like this and I loved it. So... here is our Saturday before the boys start preschool.
4:00am- Hear crying in the other room. Micah wakes for no reason. He has been doing this a lot lately. Wake up Wes so he can put Micah back to sleep.
6:00am- Hear a little voice calling for Mommy. It is sweet Micah James. I put in him our bed and we both go back to sleep.
7:00am- Turn on
Super Why so I can go back to sleep and Micah will lay still.
7:30am- Micah can't stand it anymore...we have to get up. First thing, put my parents dogs
outside. We have 4 dogs at our house right now. They will be here until Tuesday...can't
wait to have only one dog.
8:00am- Wes gets out the bed. Sam is still sleeping, which never happens. He is so tired! Make
Micah into Super Why with his blanket as his cape and watch Wes fly him around the house.
8:05am- Wes goes out to turn on the sprinklers. Everyone in Houston got rain last night but us! Sam is yelling from his bed, "Can I get up?" Such a good kiddo, he won't ever get out of his bed unless he asks. We told him this when he was 18 months and moved to his big bed. We have tried to tell him that he is old enough to just get up when he wakes up now, but so far he can't break his routine.
8:15- Fix breakfast...not sure what we are going to have.
8:20am- Decide to go get donuts. Micah gets pink with sprinkles and Sam gets chocolate with sprinkles!
9:40am- Back from breakfast, move sprinklers, take dogs out to go to bathroom. Dogs get muddy because they have been digging and the sprinklers made it muddy. Lock up dogs because I don't want to wash the dogs. Start straightening house from yesterday, fell asleep on the couch last night and did nothing.
Wes leaves to go shoot his gun. I went to the movies Thursday night so it is his turn to have some time to himself. Hope he doesn't stay gone too long. Boys are playing in playroom.
10:00am- Try to figure out G-mail and talk to mother-in-law on the computer.
10:30am- Decide to take the boys swimming at the neighborhood pool. Let boys watch Handy Manny while I get everything together.
11:00am- Leave to go swimming at the pool. Packed lunch to take with us so we can do naps when we get back! Almost forgot to turn off the sprinklers.
1:00pm- Back from the pool. Micah had to sit in timeout for running, but other than that they did great! Wes came right before we left to help us get to the car. So glad!!!
Mom and Dad call from London as we walk in the door so we Skype with them for a while. Boys have a total meltdown!
1:30pm- Sam goes down for a nap.
2:00pm- Micah goes down for a nap. Micah needed some Mac and Cheese because he didn't want his PB&J at the pool.
2:15pm- Finish cleaning up the house, do a load of laundry, fold laundry from yesterday, and work on this blog.
3:00pm- Wes leaves for work. He has to work until 1am today because of the tax free weekend, YUCK! Thinking about painting a few more plates to get ahead of the game. But don't want to!
3:15pm- Micah wakes up and snuggles with me on the couch.
3:30pm- Sam wakes up. Didn't get any painting done. Sit on couch trying to figure out what are going to do for the rest of the day.
3:45pm- Decide to run errands: Pets Smart, Office Max, Toy Store, and Walmart. Didn't make it to Wal-Mart. Micah gets in trouble for not staying with me. The usual!
6:00pm- Stop at Sonic to get the boys dinner. Don't feel like fixing something at home.
6:15pm- Get home and feed the boys their corn dogs from Sonic. Turn on sprinkler in the front yard.
6:45pm- Boys are finished eating and are watching Blue's Clues(Sam's new favorite show) I am finishing what I didn't finish earlier: Straightening up the house and putting away laundry.
7:45pm- Give boys bath. Sam has to sit on his bed for throwing a fit about taking a bath. He is tired of taking bathes. He is tired of doing everything that isn't super fun these days.
8:00pm- Boys finish watching Blue's Clues Goes to School and I finish folding laundry and put their pjs on them.
8:20pm- Talk about going to school, read story
Llama Llama Red Pajama, say prayers, and brush teeth.
8:45pm- Quiet...Boys are in bed, Micah is asleep and Sam is reading books. Put rest of the clothes away and put the dogs to bed. Fix myself something to eat and see if I can find something good to watch.
Finish this blog and probably fall asleep on the couch.
Would love to hear about a day in your life!
