Thinking Thursdays

Describe your typical day, from wake to sleep.  


I will use Wednesday, since it is my busiest day.


I wake up between 7:30 a.m and 8:00 a.m. The kids are still sleeping, so I get in the shower, get my self ready, go down stairs, get stuff ready for the day. When the kids wake up (usually about 9:00 a.m) I get them breakfast. We brush teeth, baths, dressed, then update the calendar. The kids then do whatever they want...color, craft, play, T.V. (if they want, but they know it is only an hour), iPad. 


Get lunch ready and eat about 11:30 a.m. Get the kids and kitchen cleaned up from lunch. Get last minute stuff ready to walk out the door to take Keira to school, leave the house at 12:05. Drop Keira off at school at 12:30, come home. Taygen naps from 12:45-2:30 (I usually have to wake her up). I usually work with Aden on his colors, letters, numbers, etc. during this "quiet" time, then off to pick up Keira from school. Get home by 3:30. Kids have afternoon snack. Keira takes a bath (she swims at school). After snack they can do whatever they want again. We are home for an hour then have to leave for dance class at 4:30.


Keira has dance from 4:50-5:20, rush home, make supper and eat. Dan is home for 30 minutes (6:30-7:00) then he has to leave again to go play pool. They can relax (usually they choose to color or craft). Get snacks about 8:40 then story time, brush teeth, floss, mouthwash, potty, wash hands, tuck into bed and sing songs. By now, it is about 9:10. 


Now it's mommy's time. During the time the kids are sleeping, I usually work on my sites or catch up on my DVR's. Go to bed about 11:30 and do it all again tomorrow :)
