a few of my favorite things...: A day in the Life: 2013

In case you forgot…I did this about a year ago.

The difference is…I had a 4 year old, a 1 year old and a newborn.

Life should be less hectic right?

Wrong…I really thought this time of taking pictures of our day would be easier…but quite honestly I kept forgetting to pick up the camera and by 7pm I was like "F-IT!" From the time Ryan gets home from work at 5:30 till 9pm, the house is so hectic I didn't really get a chance to take any more pictures…I'll have to do a "A evening in the Life" so I can document our bedtime.

The day starts with somebody crying in their bed, jumping in their bed…or the best…poking me in the face whispering "mom, it's time to get up…" On this day…Blakely was the one jumping in her bed!

Longest 45 seconds of her LIFE!

"Thank you God for all I have…For the food on my plate…For Riley, Blakely and Tate…Amen"

Bear waiting for the Kix to fall off Blakely's butt

Somebody {tate} moved the gate and Blakely snuck up the stairs while I cleaned up breakfast

AND THEN….somebody {tate} didn't close the downstairs door...

Let's have some fun, while the boys play downstairs!

Blakely standing on the ottoman yellling!!!!!

Tate came up {he doesn't like loud noises…especially Blakely being loud} and gave B her pacifier

They played patty-cake and when things got too exciting and B lost her pacifier…Tate popped that sucker right back in…and gave an affectionate hug.

While doing luandry…Tate came up and reminded me that he needed a snack…and quickly swept down the stairs and through his "secret passageway" aka the rail missing in the stairs.

Preschool time

Tate took a bite of an apple and put it back…and got in trouble.

Learning about football…we drew a football field in chalk

I vacuum and unload the dishwasher while Blakely is eating…she steals the silverware and she is scared of the vacuum. I also play music to keep happy :)
