A day in my life

One of my favorite bloggers on The Stir (part of cafemom) did a "day in my life blog" not to show how hard it is, but to show how happy she is, even when she complains.

So I decided to try too!

6:40a is the absolute latest I can get out if bed and still get kae to school on time. I hot snooze and Ross gets up 9 minutes later. Saves bathroom fighting. 

Get kaeley up! She's not usually this happy.

Check on Connor, he's usually still sleeping. But sometimes he pretends.

Then I make breakfast for the girl, and pack her lunch. I also untie the knots in her shoelaces, and send her back to change her clothes at least once. Some days she lets me do her hair for school, but not often.

Then Connor wakes up. He's never in a good mood.

Diaper change and breakfast.

Then we say bye-bye to daddy and sissy.

About 8:00a was bath time. He loves being in the bath, getting him out requires creative thinking, or his Cars towel.

Typically we hang out at home and watch Mickey Mouse and be lazy.

Not yesterday!

We dropped books off at the library, then went to downtown at the gardens.

We looked at the koi

Look at that face! Wait, you can't see it behind the hair.

Haircut time at Cartoon Cuts! And there is Mickey Mouse.

Awww yeaaaah, faux hawk!

We rode the carousel after, since he was so good for his haircut. He insisted on riding the birdy!

Then back to the library to pick up books. No pictures, chasing him is enough work.

Mmm lunch! Yup that's a cookie. 

During nap today I decided to read (in between loads of laundry and dishes) this is my pile of library books!

I took a book of Kae's shelf instead. One mom keeps pestering me to read. 

Kae gets home from school and does her homework, on Friday that's just 30 minutes of reading.

Then we get bubba up, he decided to read too!

Then make a traffic jam

I took the opportunity to knit, Aunt Gail and I are doing a KAL on the same shawl (my Shifter Shawl on rav)

Mmm dinner, broccoli nachos

Then Ross gets home, eats, and takes Connor duty ;)

While kae and I played a couple games of Pokemon TCG. I won, but she's getting better about not freaking out when she loses!

Then story time! And bed for the kids.

I knit until 10 while Ross watched Nanana's Buried Treasure, a new anime that's pretty funny.

Hurray bedtime!!

That's a typical day, Connor and I do stuff in the morning, but not always a haircut. 

My life isn't hard, but it's not easy either, but my family makes it worth it!
