This picture is not from yesterday, but from Sunday night. We gave Hampton a chocolate chip cookie in the car on the way home from church and this was his face afterward.
Okay so here goes:6:15-Eleanor woke up and I got her dressed for the day. By 7:00 the boys were up. They had waffles for breakfast and watched Sesame Street. 7:30-I nursed Eleanor and put her down for a nap in her nursery. Boys played in the playroom. 8:15- I did an art project with Everett while Hampton watched a video.
This is our project for the day.
And we made a caterpillar.
Everett expresses his own creativity with glitter glue and pom poms.
8:45-Eleanor is back up. She only wants to be held. 9:15-I transition Eleanor to her swing in the playroom and the boys and I play restaurant with play food. 9:45-Snack of applesauce and yogurt for the boys. 10:00-I nurse Eleanor.
Playing restaurant.
10:45-We all bundle up and go outside on the back deck to play. Everett and Hampton take turns pushing each other in the Cozy Coup car. Everett discovers a fuzzy caterpillar and is thrilled to share with Hampton. Eleanor nuzzles on my chest. I think I snuggled her in at least three blankets because of the chill in the air. 11:30- Boys have lunch.
12:00-Boys nap. 12;30-Eleanor is now awake and nurses. I watch the Dick Van Dyke show while I nurse her and try to eat some lunch. I also manage to pay some bills and make a few doctor's appointments. 2:00-Boys are back up and have a snack. I nurse Eleanor to sleep and put her in her nursery for another nap. 3:00-Eleanor is back up. Boys play. 3:30-Everett requests we do another art project-which we do. 4:00-We head back outside to play. It has warmed up a little more. 5:00-I try to fix dinner. 5:20-Eric is home!I had a good day with the babies-a long day. It definitely had its share of meltdowns (only a few from me!), but some great moments as well. I was definitely ready by 7 to go have some girl time with friends. Happy to have survived the day and completely blessed to be home with our babies.
