The week leading up to Halloween outfits. . .
Ooooooooooh - scary!!
She's such a ham!
This is her frightened look . . .
So sleepy. . . S-T-R-E-T-C-H!!
My little Micah is such a sweet baby. So laid back - she is lugged around from place to place. Here's an average day for us:
- Between 5 am and 7 am - feed her.
- Load all 3 in the car at 7:25 to get Madelyn to school (1 mile away).
- Drop her off (no getting out and unloading - yeah!)
- Get home - unload remaining 2.
- Get Marek ready for school.
- Load 2 in the car at 8:45 to get Marek to school.
- Get to his school, get 2 out, bring 1 to class, load 1 back into truck.
- Get home - unload 1 OR usually run errands
- Feed my hungry 1.
- Load my little monkey back into her car seat to pick both kids up - they're both done at 2:00.
- Get to Marek's school first (about 1:40)-unload 1, bribe him with some sort of snack - he never wants to leave
- Load the 2 back into the car - go to Maddie's school
- Wait in the pick-up line, get my girl, and head home!
- Get home - unload all 3.
- Call Tom and ask him when he's coming home.
- Try to entertain the oldest 2 while feeding Micah . . .
- Call Tom and ask him when he's coming home.
- Try to clean - my efforts are futile.
- Call Tom and ask him when he's coming home.
- Start throwing dinner together.
- Call Tom and ask him if he's left yet.
- Threaten my children during dinner that if they don't eat, Jesus and Santa are watching and Jesus will be sad and Santa won't bring presents. They work together.
- Call Tom and ask him where he is.
- Load up all 3 in the car again.
- Take Madelyn to piano.
- Unload all 3. Sit for an hour while she plays. Feed Micah.
- Call Tom and tell him I've got all 3 and I'll just see him at home at this point. Dinner is in the fridge.
- Load all 3 back in the car. Go home.
- Hand them all to Tom and start cleaning up from dinner.
- Take Micah back because she's screaming (she wants her mommy :)
- Feed Micah.
- Kiss the kids as daddy is putting them to sleep with prayers, books, and a "Luger" story*
- Fall into bed.
This is a typical Tuesday around here . . .
*"Luger" is a big mean cat that chases little blue people who are very clever and always trick the evil cat. Sound like the smurfs to you? You're on to something . . .

That's so funny. I love how you call Tom to ask when he's coming home 500 times. I do the same to Brett and even call him when he's on his way home to see where he's at!

Hehehehe. @Pam - I know it drives him crazy but when you're trying to plan dinner, taxi services, etc - you've got to! Oh - and you're stinkin' exhausted from the craziness all day! Going back to work will be a break!
