Wednesday Wednesday

Today was a long day for me to get through.

I am just beyond tired.

I wish I could have stayed in bed all day sleeping and watching tv.

My brain was not there at all.

But as the day comes to end I did survive!

Started the day off with my alarm going off at 5:30 am to meet up with 

my sister in law for our run. I wanted to do a shorter route today but she 

talked me into doing our normal one. I was dragging today.

This was followed by our typical morning routine.

I did capture a little more of Michelle today.

I feel she is in so few pictures but she is a busy girl.

I did head out for a bit today for a Parent Volunteer Team meeting.

It is our school's version of the PTA.

When I got back I made lunch for the little girl I care for and I.

This is my go to salad.

Honestly I was to brain dead to take to many photos for a few hours.

Plus with the kids at school not to much to photograph.

We did have a HOT day today for the PNW!

Jordan got home and went through his afternoon routine.

We went to go get Michelle. When she was done she wanted to go to a friend's

house to work on a project so she ended up riding home with her.

When we got back I had Jordan put out the recycling for tomorrow.

This is by far one his favorite things to do!

He is huge into garbage and recycling still.

We are having a super relaxed evening here because I am done for the day.

Josh is gone for the evening. He went straight from work to softball practice.

I am letting Jordan play way to much xbox while I am on my computer.

I did manage to get dishes done and make a quick dinner.

Finally I knew I had to do something with the kids
so we went to go get ice cream! Before we left I attempted to
get a picture of them together which was a lost cause.

Then it was home to get ready for bed.
They are now tucked in.
Jordan is probably sound a sleep and Michelle is reading.
I am waiting for Josh to come home and finishing up this post.
Hoping to watch Big Brother if I can stay up that long.

Tuesday Tuesday

Another long, busy day in the books.

I am going to break up yesterday's happenings into morning, afternoon and evening.

My morning started again bright and early.

Like 5:00 am early. I am not a morning person nor am a night owl person.

I like a solid nights sleep. I work best on a full night of sleep.

The early mornings really catch up with me as the week goes on.

Anyways, my sister in law picked me up and we headed to the gym.

We did elliptical, weights and tanning in preparation for Vegas next week!

When I get home Michelle is usually up already getting ready for the day

and updating instagram. It is her new thing since she is not allowed to have facebook yet.

I did let her finally have instagram because who doesn't like taking selfies all day 

and sharing them with your friends :)

As you will see as the week goes on our mornings will look pretty much the same.

For Jordan it is ipad, breakfast, get dressed, brush teeth, xbox, play and get out in time for the bus.

I promise he doesn't play a ton of electronics.

It is just the only time he is holding still and I can get a picture of him.

He is not a huge fan of having his picture taken all day long so I try to do with 

out him noticing. Usually he will stop what he is doing and hide or he will start running around

so it is impossible to catch a non blurry picture of him.

After Jordan leaves for school I usually have play/snuggle time with the kiddos I watch.

When the baby lays down I usually try to get a few daily chores done such as dishes.

When the baby wakes up we usually go outside in the yard or for a walk to the little park.

The afternoon is the hardest part of the day for me.

Now with school it is actually a little more busy.

While the baby took an afternoon nap I managed to clean the fridge!

It really needed it and I ended up throwing quite a bit of stuff away.

Once Jordan comes home we usually play outside in the yard for a bit,

then home work, xbox, get Michelle from fast pitch and then home to make dinner.

Michelle works on homework while Jordan who is pretty tired relaxes.

Yesterday he called his cousin on the phone to see if he could play Minecraft online with him.

We need to work on his phone skills a little bit.

   

After dinner Jordan had his first flag football practice.

Josh is coaching the team. They had no coach as of Saturday so Josh stepped up.

I think he did an excellent job. 

Their team name is Maroon Seahawks suggested by one of the boys.

I had to leave half way through to take Michelle and a couple of her friends to youth group.

Then it was off to bunco for me.  The theme was chevron. I had no time to shop so my sister 

made these adorable coasters for me to go along with a mug and coffee card.

Coffee gift cards are my go to prize!

By the time I got home Jordan was fast asleep and Michelle was just getting home.

I was beat but managed to watch a show with Josh without falling asleep.

My goal is to be asleep by 10.
