Fly on the wall--Monday

So, it's been a long time since I've done a fly on the wall post.  I was supposed to do a Saturday, but it seems that every Saturday unusual, so after months have gone by, I decided to just start back with a Monday again and go from there.  So, I went on the 1/2 hour marks for a 24 hour period.

Monday, March 31st

1:30-Back to Bed 
Preston was up to nurse...went for 6 hours from about 7:20-1:20, which is good for him.

3:30-Up With Brielle
Brielle had a bad dream and came into our room to snuggle.  She fell back asleep, but is a noisy sleeper, so James took her back to her bed.

4:30-And Up Yet Again
Preston up again to nurse.

6:30-Pondering The Day
I should be up getting breakfast ready but, I'm laying in bed calculating the last possible time I can stay in bed and still get us all to school on time.

7:30-School Time
Pulling up to Warnick's House to walk Brielle over to school.  James biked to work, as usual.

8:30-Learning Time
Learning about Italy this week.  Setting up our gondolas for our 'trip' in Venice.

9:30-Snack Time
Crackers and cheese outside

10:30-Projects

11:30-Girls Pick Up
Mondays I watch my 2 nieces in the mornings.  They are getting picked up now.

12:30-Cooking with Ethan
Working on some dinner prep-Ethan loves to pull up a stool and help in the kitchen.

1:30-Switching Laundry
Mondays is laundry day.  Always a lot from the build up over the weekend.

2:30-Coming home with Kids
The kids played outside with their cousins after school for a little bit, so we are just on our way home now.

3:30-Cleaning the Car
Needed to switch out the carseat (Preston grew out of the infant seat), which led to needing to vacuum out the whole car.  Getting 'help' from the kids.

4:30-Piano
Brielle just finished her practice, now everyone wants a turn to play.

5:30-Walking with Kids
Ethan threw some trash out the window of the car yesterday, so today was supposed to go out and pick up 25 pieces of trash.  It of course is much too fun (as is everything with him) to be a true punishment.  Brielle is riding her scooter, I'm pushing Preston in the stroller.

6:30-Family Scriptures
James called to say he would be late, so we went ahead with dinner and are working on bedtime routine.

7:30-Cooking Food
All the kids are in bed.  The boys are asleep, Brielle is listening to a book.  I am getting some food prepped for a conference next week.  James just got home and is eating dinner.

8:30-Running
My exercise time has moved to night, since Preston's sleep is more predictable at night then in the morning.  James is home working so I can run outside tonight.

9:30-Cleaning Kitchen
Dishes...never ending cycle. :)

10:30-Brushing Teeth
getting ready for bed.

11:30-Sleep Time!
Stayed up to look over pictures with James that he took of the kids this weekend.  Headed to bed now.
