A day in the life posts are some of my favorite posts to read on other blogs. Last Wednesday I decided to document our day for my own day in the life post. I know in a few years it will be fun to look back on these days with three small kids and reminisce on how things used to be.
So here is a day in the life of us!
My morning started at 5:55 when Emry got up to eat {technically it started at 2am when he ate, but we quickly went back to sleep}
When I looked over I realized someone had snuck in to have a sleepover with momma and daddy during the night.
After Emry ate he and I headed downstairs for coffee and a breakfast bar. Emry hung out while I had my breakfast and read some friends blog posts.
Whitney was the next one up right around 7am . She and Emry helped me get the laundry started before we woke Libby.
After we got Libby up we all went back downstairs. The girls had breakfast {dry cereal & fruit}, Emry took a nap, and I unloaded the dishwasher and put dinner in the crockpot.
Lee made Libby’s lunch the night before, so I just had to put it all in her lunchbox. I put away the breakfast dishes and we went to get everyone dressed.
I threw my jeans on the steam refresh cycle because I had worn them the night before…but they weren’t dirty I swear! Haha!!
While I put makeup on Whitney played on my iPad.
Dressed and ready to go!
It takes a good 10 minutes to load everyone and their stuff in the car. Buckled and ready to
head out right at 8:40.
We turned on Big Mama and Boo Mama’s newest podcast for the drive.
We were a few minutes early for drop off so Libby and I took a few pictures.
MOPS was our next stop. I dropped Whitney in her class and Emry and I headed to meet up with all the other mommas.
We got home from MOPS a little after 12pm. While Emry napped in his car seat Whitney had lunch. We shared some Chick-Fil-A nuggets leftover from small group the night before.
While Whitney ate I changed into my fluff flops and moved one load of laundry to the dryer and started another load.
Time for Whitney’s nap and to nurse Emry.
We were back in the car at 1:40 to go pick Libby up from preschool. When I pick her up she gets in and we pull forward for me to get out and buckle her bottom buckle on her car seat. I literally only have to pull forward about fifty feet but in those fifty feet she had fallen asleep! She had a hard day at preschool 🙂
We ran through Sonic and got limeades before heading home.
Libby napped on the couch.
My worker crew and I folded two loads of laundry.
While I put laundry away Emry napped
And Whitney played in my shoes.
Lee got home at 3:30 and played with Whitney while I nursed Emry {Libby was still asleep}.
We woke Libby up at 5 and it was time for dinner. Crockpot Chicken Parmesan for the win!
After dinner Lee took Libby down the street {where it is level} to practice riding her new bike.
Bike riding ended around 6:30 and Lee took the girls up for a bath while I cleaned the kitchen. Whitney went to sleep right after bath time.
Lego playtime and time for Emry to nurse again.
Libby went to bed around 8:30. Emry was napping, so Lee and I got quick showers and hopped in bed to watch the Braves.
Emry nursed one last time at 10, then it was lights out at 10:30!
As I was putting this post together I realized I didn’t get any pictures of Lee. He was here though I promise and was a big help!
That is what a day in our lives looks like these days!
Come me back tomorrow when I link up with Jennifer and Kristen for Wardrobe Wednesday and talk about one of my favorite things…wedges!!
