A Week in the Life. Thursday. 091809.

Underdog on the TV while eating breakfast.

sleepy, sleepy bing.

Lots of phonecalls between both my moms and my sister.
DRAMA.

Target.

Story Hour @ the library.

Fast Food for dinner.

Harriet Tubman story @ bedtime.

Fall In Love.

What I wouldn't give to be this aware, awake, present, and creative @ 16 years old.
I adore this girl - she inspires me and never ceases to amaze me with her creativity.
When she asked me to make some samples for her upcoming class "Fall in Love" how could I resist? I mean fall AND Kara Haupt? I am madly in love with both.
Here Is a sneak of what I did with her fun prompts - and HERE is where you can find out more info about this super fun class.

A Week in the Life. Wednesday. Day 3. 09162009

This dude has been everywhere with me.

I slowed down a bit today because Tuesday kind of

exhausted me, plus its been rainy and rainy means lazy and cozy.

:)

Click on this one to view the details.

This is what it looks every morning while they finish up breakfast and watch cartoons or a movie. The movie on today was "The Iron Giant" and Sandler said he loved it.

A peek inside their backpacks.

Bing's favorite color is blue, Jude's yellow.

Thats also the color of their Bento boxes. I just started putting their Bento boxes inside of their lunch box because I wanted to keep their juices/yogurts cold.

This is the time each morning that we go outside to the end of the driveway and wait for the bus.

The bus arrives @ 645 - and the boys run up and down our long hilly driveway and play and giggle and wrestle and occasionally skin their knees.

This is what Marley wore while she ate breakfast and watched Dora and the Backyardigans while I did the dishes, made beds and put a load of laundry in.

Let me be clear - this is the ONLY thing Marley wore while watching cartoons.

I snapped this picture and she said "MOM! Did you just take a picture of my bootie?!" and I said..."Don't worry sweetie - I'll crop it out".

Luckily she put on some clothes with her purple boots before going to Dance Class.

A cupcake barrette, polka dotted hoodie, and a butterfly bag.

YOu have to be covered up to enter/leave the dance studio.

And hair must be in a neat bun with barrettes.

Pouring Rain.

Done with class.

A green star sticker and a cherry sucker.

I had "text" with AmberNichole yesterday.

I love our randomness.

Love her.

Wal-Mart was taking back some handlebars for Jude's

scooter that didn't fit, milk, and some things for dinner.

Dinner was baked nachos with fat free refried beans topped with some lettuce, chives, and jalapenos. (pronounced Juh-lop-uh-nose). Sean handled dinner while Sandler and I practiced writing the letter "M". Jude played Super Mario 3, and Marley-Jane went back and forth to everyone.








I chickened out again with a Zumba picture.

But here is my empty Sobe water with plain water and an ice stick I took.
I met a friend there and we had a blast.

This is a late class (815!) So my nightly routine changed just a bit.

Sandler's medicine.

Zantac and Pepcid.

My middle can't do-uh the spicey.

Into bed an hour late.

Actually two hours late - because I fell asleep watching SYTYCD.

Nigh. Nigh.
