Okay, so blog took a back burner for a while, but I'm back to it again. Once again, these entries are for my personal interest to track our life as it changes, but I put it out there incase anyone likes to know what goes on in our house.

6AM-Sleeping In
Still in bed. Ethan came in a couple times last night because he was having a bad dream about a boat turning into a dragon. Enjoying the last few minutes in bed before it's really time to get up and moving.
7AM-Finishing Breakfast
Switched yesterday and today's breakfast menu, so today we had our 'Monday Muffins'-Brown Sugar Muffins and Hard boiled eggs. I am driving to school now instead of biking, so have to get out the door by 7:20, James leaves about the same time. Usually 5 minutes before we do.
8AM-Driving Home
Brielle is at school. Ethan is in the back seat of the car looking at a Highlights magazine and telling me about all the projects he wants to do today.
9AM-Working with Ethan on project
This is what Ethan saw in the magazine that he really wanted to make. He was excited about going out to hunt for twigs and rocks. He put together the colors of tissue paper he wanted, then had me help him with the twist-tie part.
10AM-Dropping Ethan at Speech Class
He scooters, I speed walk. It's about 1.3 miles each way. He is getting quick, where I'd have to jog to stay with him, but he stops every light post or fire hydrant for me to catch up. Then he sees an interesting rock or bug on the ground and has to take a minute to look.
11AM-Picking Ethan up
During the hour Ethan is in class I have time to run home and get a couple things done before heading back. The walk home takes significantly longer. Ethan is tired and it is slightly up hill. I promised Ethan a jar to collect the roly-polies he found on the way to school, so he is stopping to collect them as we walk home.
12PM-Lunch/Working on Dinner
Ethan wanted a muffin from this morning, and a banana and a pear. He ended up eating half the muffin, 3 pears and a full banana. (extra hungry because we forgot to eat snack before class today) I'm eating leftover chicken curry from last night with cauliflower. Dinner tonight is Baked Ziti. Frying up sausage to make sauce while I'm eating lunch.
1PM-Cleaning Bathrooms
Ethan is going between playing with trains and helping me clean. He likes cleaning the toilets because I use baking soda and vinegar, and he likes to make 'volcanoes' with me.
2PM-Picking Up Brielle
Brielle gets out at 1:50. The kids are playing on the playground, as we are staying after school for a meeting, we have a few minute before it starts.
3PM-PTA Meeting
Normal stuff, talking about upcoming events and volunteers needed. I'm trying to decide how I'll feel at the end of May pregnancy-wise and what I want to commit to helping with.
4PM-Library
Running errands after the PTA meeting. Brielle goes through books too quickly and it's hard to keep new ones in the house for her reading time every afternoon. Had a stack of books on hold to pick up.
5PM-Homework
Behind schedule this afternoon with meeting and errands, trying to help kids get through their afternoon routine quickly. Brielle needs to work on homework, read, practice the piano and set table. Ethan's main job is to help me with whatever I ask him to do.
6PM-Eating Dinner
James tries to get home right at 6 so we can all eat together before getting kids to bed. We like to be ready to start bedtime routine at 6:30.
7PM-Catching up with James
Just put kids to bed. James is getting ready to head out home teaching, I am getting ready for our YW meeting. We have a few minutes to touch base before going separate ways again.
8PM-YW Meeting
Meeting started at 7:30, I like to have them at my house after kids are asleep so we can focus.
9PM-Finishing YW Meeting
We've wrapped things up and are mostly hanging out, talking and eating a treat. I made extra lemon truffle pie on Sunday for this meeting so I wouldn't have to think about it today. Afraid the crust would get soggy, but it still tastes good.
10PM-More YW
After the meeting I like to review/type notes to send out and then follow up with anything that needed my attention before I forget about it. Have a couple people on our roll that need their records sent, so sending e-mails to get that taken care of.
James has gone to the airport to pick-up sis-in-law, so I can quickly get everything wrapped up without missing out on time with him.
11PM-In Bed
tomorrow is a running with my neighbor day, which means day starts at 4:50, so I should have been asleep a long time ago. James is just getting home. Good Night!
