Get Real Monday
| May 7, 2007 | Posted by nancy under LIFE |
This is a look at our day 1/2 day last Friday! I attempted to photo-document a typical weekday last Friday and post about it today for “Get Real Monday”, which is headed up by Randi over at “I have to say…”.
Here’s the low down of our exciting morning. First, the boys woke us up and we made our coffee and then it was time for breakfast. While I made breakfast the craft supplies came out and the drawing began. A paper doll knight had to be made, which then spurred the idea to make a fire-breathing dragon. I drew the knight and Ian drew the dragon and then we cut them out and gave them stands. We all ate our breakfast and then Daddy went off to work in his office, I cleaned up from breakfast and the boys drew and looked at books. I think the baby laid back down to sleep at this point. Time to get dressed and go outside!
We played with balloons until they both popped, there was a little crying and then on to the next thing. It was a hot day so Ian went inside to draw some more and the baby came out and I hooked her into the stroller to join me while Sean and I watered some flowers. Sean managed to soak his clothes, so off they went to hang on the railing and I set him up in the backyard with the sprinkler, while I tried to relax and read. Well, that lasted 5 minutes and then we were back inside to read a book and then it was time for lunch. We ate, cleaned up, read some more books and off to bed. I was pooped from the morning’s activites so I took a nap as well and woke up to Ian the Pirate bearing an Easter basket, with no pants!
I think our morning counts for an entire day, don’t you?


I’m tired just looking at it.
Yes, I think a whole day happened in that short period of time! My kids are a little older now (oldest is 5) and i have forgotten just how busy it can be to take care of little ones! Believe it or not, I miss those sweet days…
I know just how you feel! Sometimes, as I crawl into bed, I wonder is the week over yet? With young children one day can feel like three!
Phew!! I’m tired reading about it, but LOVE the photos to go along with it!
