It's been a couple months, so time to track again what is going on at our house on a 'typical' day. We've made it back to Friday, so here is my report about Friday, May 1st. Every hour on the 30 minute mark.
4:30-Nursing Preston
With Preston sick the last couple weeks, I've felt like I have a newborn again. He hasn't been sleeping well and is asking to nurse more both during the day and night. Since I'm up anyway, I'm reading scriptures while nursing.
5:30-Running
Listening to: NBC Nightly News
I tried going back to bed after being up with Preston, but couldn't fall back asleep before my alarm went off at 5, so my day started earlier than I wanted.

Got daily habits done and am finishing getting myself ready before heading down to get everyone breakfast and out the door. Kids alarm set to go off at 6:35. James up and starting to get ready.

7:30-Driving to School
Listening to: Articles of Faith songs
Friday is still our review day on the way to school we go through the Articles of Faith. I usually stay for the assembly at the school Friday mornings. This one Brielle got her certificate for finishing the math program for the year.

8:30-Cleaning Kitchen
Listening to: The Mom Hour Podcast
Starting laundry, unloading dishwasher and cleaning up breakfast. Preston is 'setting the table' which he likes to do.
9:30-Finishing Shopping List
Didn't get my shopping done yesterday, because of an appointment-so going to fit it in today.
12:30-My Lunch/Computer Time
Listening to: Pediacast Podcast
Got Preston down for a nap. I usually like to do computer work first after getting him down so he doesn't get distracted by my noise and want to play with me. Currently working on our May budget while eating a taco salad.
1:30-Cleaning Projects
Listening to: Marathon Training Academy Podcast
working on cleaning projects, currently getting laundry folded that I washed earlier today.
2:30-Driving Home
Listening to: Imagine Dragons-'On Top of the World'
Went to the school office after getting the kids to get some paperwork filled out for Brielle's upcoming independent study while she is on her trip.
3:30-Helping Brielle
4:30-Reading
5:30-Outside Time
Getting wiggles out before dinner. Brielle and I are practicing volleyball while Ethan and Preston do stomp rockets.
6:30-picking up James
Got kids showered and started feeding them dinner. Annie came over to watch them and get them to bed while James and I went out for date night to celebrate our anniversary today.
7:30-Car Wash
Loved our Sushi, got to the restaurant at the perfect time before it got crowded and dinner went faster than expected. Just left the restaurant and decided to stop for a car wash, since none of the kids were with us we could vacuum out the car easier.
8:30-Grocery Shopping
Almost went to get dessert, but it was too crowded and we decided against it. So, stopped to get the last few things I needed on the grocery list. Shopping together is always fun.
9:30-Getting Home
10:30-Watching a Show
James and I decided to continue our date and watch a show together before heading to bed. Feels good to sit and relax and the end of this day.

10:30-Library Story Time
Preston loves going to the library. The toddler story time is a good mix of music, dancing and play time with a few short books that the attention span of this age can handle. He loves the parachute and the craft projects.
11:30-Unloading Car/Preston Lunch
Preston is eating mashed potatoes and raspberries while I get the groceries out of the car. Got to Costco before going to the library, but decided not to stop at the grocery store after because Preston needed a nap.

Went to the school office after getting the kids to get some paperwork filled out for Brielle's upcoming independent study while she is on her trip.
Got snacks for kids and started homework. I am working with Brielle on her homework project (describing the attributes of her 3D shape creature) while Ethan and Preston play upstairs
4:30-Reading
Brielle played with Preston while I worked with Ethan on reading and piano. Now everyone is melting down so we're taking a break to read. Sounds better than it actually is. Preston is not happy with the book choice, so he keeps grabbing my head and turning it to look at his book. So I am reading one page of the big kids book and then one page of Preston's books and switching off back and forth.

All the kids are asleep and Annie said they had a good time together before bed. I love being able to get home to a quiet house.

James and I decided to continue our date and watch a show together before heading to bed. Feels good to sit and relax and the end of this day.
didn't quite get everything done today, but close. Time for bed!
