A day in the life {November}

First off I would like to start with my photo of the day which happens to be

something that starts with the letter "C".

Well that easy.

I happen to have a very cute little guy over to play today!

My nephew Cohen!

Today I am extremely thankful for this little guy.

He has had quite the journey this past year

and to be able to now have him over whenever I want to 

play is a huge blessing.

You can read about his story here at my sister's blog.

Now on to a day in our life!

On the 1st of each month I like to capture a day in the life of us.

It is fun for because it usually falls on a different day on the week

and something fun is usually going on.

I like taking pictures that represent our day to day life

and capture what they kids are into along with their personalities.

This month the 1st fell on a Thursday.

This is my busiest day of the week usually.

I have child care kids during the day

and Cohen comes to play for a bit.

After school I have my nephews.

The day is a non stop busy busy.

On top of all that I have not felt "normal" in

over a week and half.

I have had a nonstop head ache along with severe

neck pain going up into the back of my head to my shoulders.

I have have been to the doctor 4 times and 3 different shots

and nothing has been able to put a stop to it.

It has become my new normal I guess.

I started taking pictures a little later in the morning.

8am

The kids loved checking out Jordan's spider

for his class project.

The kids were sent home with a cup to catch

a spider. They wanted us to add some sticks, moisture,

and food for the spider.

Luckily I just had to walk right out the front door yesterday 

and one was right there. Then last night Josh let 

me know of a mosquito that was chilling on a light switch in 

the garage so I took the cup out and scooped it up.

This morning the spider had caught it in its web.

Jordan took it to school where they are going to observe them

and let them go.

Brushing teeth before getting ready for the bus

Headed out the door to wait for the bus!

Mia and I usually watch from the deck unless it to

cold then we watch out the front window.
