you want to know

a typical day around here (in bullet points because it makes you happy and causes you to form a no-teeth-showing-slight-half-smile on the right side of your mouth):

• girls out of bed 
• snuggle in bed with mommy for 2 minutes until "someone" has encroached on "someone else's" part of the bed and both "someones" start whining and arguing
• change diaper
• breakfast
• brushing/braiding hair

• get little girls dressed
• put on boots and coats and somehow manage to make it out the door
• listen to a certain little girl who has a scar on her forehead whine all the way down the hall and on the elevator
• possibly go to one of 3 libraries (leave 30 minutes later because of a tantrum by the thumb sucker, who shall remain nameless)

• possibly sacrifice their health and wellbeing at the mall play area
• possibly brave the children's museum (and one way streets downtown)
• possibly walk around target and buy something we don't need
• possibly manage to make it home in one piece
• WASH HANDS
• make lunches of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, hummus, chips, apples, cheese
• "picnic" in living room with PBS cartoons (ahhhh peace and quiet)
• a little drink for mommy (relax it's only a diet dr. pepper)
• NAP TIME! and "quiet time" for eva

• laundry
• snack time
• pick up house
• start on dinner
• shaun comes HOME (and we all rejoice!)
• brain turns off and things get fuzzy from this point on: daddy's home

these two girls are worth every bit of craziness. so very thankful to be home with them each and everyday.
