6 am- I wake up and get myself ready before the kiddos are up. Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't! A lot of the time Colt wakes up with me and he spends this time playing with his dad!
7-Emma is usually up by now. Once both kids are up I get them dressed first thing. Then it's time for breakfast!
8:30- Our sweet friend Macey arrives and the girls start their play time. While the kids play I do my cleaning, laundry, baking, etc... whatever is on my list for the day.
9-Colty is down for his morning nap! During this time I try to do some sort of activity with the girls...whether it be a craft, reading or a game. Then back to my cleaning or laundry :) doesn't it seem NEVER ENDING?!?!????????????????????
10:30- I try to finish up whatever housework I have by now. Colty usually is up by now. So we either run errands (Target anyone??!), go for a walk or get in the car for a drive! I LOVE going for drives with the kids. Not a single day goes by that we don't leave the house at least once. It keeps me sane :)
11:45- We usually eat lunch somewhere around here. And at least a couple times a week we like to bring Travis his lunch at work. He'll eat it out in the car with us. During football season we do this everyday so that the kids can see their dad at least once during the day! AND yes, it's another excuse to go for a car ride :)
1-1:30 All three kiddos lay down for NAPS! Our home is really small and old (meaning our wooden floors creak every time you walk on them) so it's pretty much required that I sit on the couch while they all sleep :) :) If I get up to clean anything or walk around you can guarantee that somebody will wake up! So... I spend this time reading my Bible, reading blogs, budgeting, making grocery lists...basically anything that I can do sitting on the couch quietly! I love it :)
3-The kids are usually up by now. This is when we turn on PBS Kids...love it! While they are watching a show I do a quick run through of the house and tidy it back up.
4:15- Bye bye Macey!
4:30- A couple days a week I teach piano lessons for an hour. During this time the kids play
5:30-Time to fix and eat supper (if I'm really on the ball I like to have crockpot meals on my piano lesson days).
6- Kids get bathed and into jammies.
6:30-Colty is in bed!
7- Emma is in bed!!!
Hallelujah! We made it through a day :) The rest of the evening I spend visiting with Trav, on the internet, sewing, getting ready for the next day... you know...the regular evening things :)
So... hopefully nobody has fallen asleep just yet reading this post ;) It's a pretty boring day... but I love it!!! I love staying at home... God has blessed me with such an amazing husband who supports this decision.

thanks for stopping by! i'm glad to have found your blog... i'm following you! : ) my kiddos will be almost 16 mos apart. i'm nervous, i know it will be chaos for a little bit (or maybe awhile) but it will be beautiful chaos! we are so thankful for another baby bundle. i hope i can ask you lots of questions since yours are close together! hope you have a happy weekend.
Ha! Your day sound pretty much identical to mine these days...minus Miss Macey!!! :) My floors don't creek, but my girls are some light sleepers. Love this post...it will be fun reading about others typical days!
i seriously LOVED this post. I LOVE glimpsing into the lives of others! But, I have to know, when you go to Target with 3 kids, how do you keep everyone together? Do the girls ride in the cart?
Landree has dropped her nap! SO SAD! But she watched a show during her old nap time to give me a break. Sounds like we have a pretty similar schedule, but mine starts about an hour later than yours :)
Loved reading this post too. So impressed with your structure. Oh, and how early you get the kiddos to bed! You're a great mama!
