Tuesday in the Life

I thought, since life has been so crazy, but is starting to calm down just a little, I might do a week in the life type thing. I started taking pictures from my Tuesday on, so I'll try to do this through next Monday. One thing I haven't been good with, is documenting the morning wakeup through school run. I'll make a serious effort to get that tomorrow morning. The mornings are super chaotic here as we have kids attending two different schools that start at the exact same time, and we have one child that never wants to get up on days of school, and never wants to go to school.

Alright, here's our Tuesday.

The alarms start going off at 6:30 but I don't officially climb out of bed until 6:45 to 6:50. I wake up the girls. Scottie and Rylie are usually both on my floor at that point. I don't know why they don't sleep in their beds all night. After I wake them, I go to wake up Sydney in her room and then start turning on lights in the house. Then I call Ben to wake him up through his Alexa. Some mornings he's already up and reading, others he's tired and I wake him up, but he gets up pretty easy which saves me a trip downstairs.

Shawn takes Ben to school and then goes to the gym and I take the girls and come home to relax for a minute or two. The morning wake up, breakfast, and school drop off are exhausting and a breather on the couch is very appreciated.


Around the time Shawn was on his way home, I started the coffee.


We didn't make it to Costco last week so I had to do a decent sized grocery run.




Shawn uses sugar free coffee creamer but hates Hazelnut coffee creamer. Our grocery store is closing down and I'm forced to step out of my comfort zone and go through some other grocery stores in the area. The new one I'm leaning towards using was sold out of all sugar free coffee creamer except Hazelnut so I had to make another stop at the smaller store near my home.



While I was at grocery shopping, Rylie was having lunch with a friend and her mom at school.


Driving home I noticed the trees in the neighborhood are all changing colors for fall.


As soon as I got the groceries put away, I figured it was time to get dinner started.



After getting dinner going I ran out to pick up some kiddos. Ben rides the bus home so he came home right after I got back with the girls.

Tuesday evenings are typically Rylie's soccer practice days. This is their last week for soccer so Rylie's team earned a pizza party and got their medals after a quick 30 minute practice.




My friend Lisa got a couple pictures of the team eating their pizzas and sent them to me.



These super cute girls are quite the team. They've had an amazing season and have made me rethink what happens with Rylie's soccer next year. I don't know what we will do with that, and we have one more season before we have to make any decisions.

Since they had pizza, the kids weren't really hungry for dinner. Ben was my only kiddo that ate dinner, but while we ate, the girls did math and drawing at the table.


And of course, before bed was time for a little homework.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Happy Homemaker Monday

   As I look outside my window::: So far today, it is cold and gloomy! Right now I am:::  Sitting on the couch under my crocheted afghan. Thinking and pondering::: On Thanksgiving!  What to fix.  I think I'm getting carried away, but I love it.  On my bedside table::: I haven't been doing much reading lately and I should. Duck Commander Family by Willie and Korie Robertson Frozen by Sarah Nathan and Sela Roman On my tv tonight::: American Horror Story Some Doctor Who specials Playing on the radio::: I don't have anything playing right now, but I'm obsessed with James Blunt's new song, Bonfire Heart. The video is amazing too.  I love the story behind the video.  The people in it are NOT actors.  The wedding scene towards the end, he actually crashed a wedding and captured the bride and grooms first dance.  Amazing.  And, not only is his voice and music wonderful, he's a total hottie. On the menu for ...

Blogmas 2014- Day 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

This year, I'm participating in Sandra's, at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, Blogmas 2014.  If you want to join in, you can go over to her post, by clicking here , and see what it's all about.   When I was a kid, growing up, we never had fake trees.  I loved everything about them. The smell, the way they looked, and even more so, the going out as a family in the cold.  It was always a hunt whether at a tree far or a parking lot full of precut trees.  When I was younger it was the parking lot.  There was a place about a mile from our house that we would drive to.  We'd walk through tons of trees leaning against walls and fences.  My dad would hold each one up, shaking them a little bit and asking what we thought.  We all got to be involved in finding the perfect tree.  As we got older, we started going to tree farms instead of the parking lot.  We'd get a sled and a saw and walk between aisles and aisles in fields, full of gorgeou...
