A (Good) Day in the Life

Well I thought I'd give you a sneak peak of what a typical day looks like with my boys. Well, to be honest, no day is typical. Try as I might to have a set schedule, their eat and sleep times flucuate as they grow and develope, so I have routine moreso than schedule, and that works for us just fine. For now.

This morning, it was up at 5am for feeding and breakfast (my breakfast is usually toast with eggs, hashbrowns and ham and a nice cool glass of OJ. I am still eating for 3 afterall!)  I get them back to sleep and get started with my day.

It's now 8am and so far I've fed, eaten, started the laundry, cleaned the bathrooms, showered and YES! Blowdried my hair! Man does that ever feel good... Boys are still asleep, so I decide to get some milk ready for tonight (tonight, I am going OUT!)

Boys up 9am, feed them, have some tummy time and get dressed for the day. Next time they fall asleep, I'm taking a nap!

And, Austin has totally turned himself around..

Took a nice nap when they fell asleep at 10:30 and Lincoln woke up right on time at noon to feed. Now it's 1pm and my turn for lunch then a manicure for Lincoln - his nails are starting to hurt! This time I'll clip them before he scratches himself...


Okay, 3pm and the laundry's folded and put away, the kitchen's cleaned and it's time to feed again. Phewy!

It's 4pm, getting dinner ready then have to get ready for my outing tonight. A big thanks to my sister-in-law, Chelsea and her mom for helping out this evening while I attended a work function!

 Got home at 7pm, just in time to bail out Miles' home teaching crisis. We went out together since Chelsea was here already. Man does timing ever work out well sometimes!

Got home at 8, did some work on the boys' Halloween costumes (more pics on that one later) and fed at 9pm.

Let the boys hang with Dad for a bit, made the bed then it was bathtime. The boys have a shower with Dad and they love the water, it doesn't bother them in the least. Once the they were all done and warmed up, we bring them into bed where Dad has some more time with them.

It's the end of the day and boys are put back to bed for the night. Goodnight my boys, we love you and wish you the best. Gets lots of sleep, because it all begins again tomorrow!!
 (desclaimer: this day was documented a few weeks ago - before Halloween, obviously. Although the schedules and tasks are different, everyday is still jammed packed and fun!)
