Today I……
Watched Gabriel put holes in his jeans on the merry-go-round; 1 of the 2 pairs he has left this year
Attempted to teach Lucy to write her name, she instead wrote on the the library book cover
Did dishes in 4 shifts; and they are still not done
Put Amelia to sleep on her belly and checked on her every 15 minutes because I was nervous
Loved how Gabriel found it his mission to entertain Amelia in the car so she would not cry
Prayed for a mama friend giving birth to a baby girl today
Let Gabriel play a Lego game on my phone so I could blog!
Let Lucy lick the beater from cookies
Left the house 3 times; twice to go to preschool
Talked to Lucy about what things belong in the toilet (don’t ask)
Fed kids mac ‘n cheese and hot dogs for lunch and felt guilty about its lack of nutrients
Made a savory vegetable and sausage soup for dinner with homemade bread to make up for it, hopefully
Washed 7 loads of laundry, folded some
Had a deep conversation with Uncle Cam about mustaches
Read books about robots, Batman, princesses, Pinkalicious, Strawberry Shortcake, Transformers
Listened to Lucy sing the alphabet song all by herself
Accepted a dandelion as a gift picked by Lucy
Put Amelia to sleep at least 6 times
Got spit up on by Amelia at least 6 times
Loved how Lucy called it ‘cookie sauce’ instead of ‘cookie dough’
Got all 3 kids to nap at the same time! (fist pump!)
Dreamed about all the books I would like to read, while doing dishes
Marveled at how grown up G and L are becoming
Made a grocery list
Dreamed about what absolute cuteness Amelia should wear for 6 month pictures, while doing dishes
Changed Amelia’s clothes 3 times
Dreamed about my future family closet, while doing laundry
Thought about how Lucy’s sheets need washed….but never actually did it
Dreamed about planting my garden this weekend, while doing laundry
Did not shower until 7pm
Watched Lucy have several tantrums over cookies
Wiped a lot of bottoms
Wished my father in law a happy birthday
Tried to teach G and L that yelling is not how to treat your mom!
Went to bed early, because, well, I was tired
Loved this day with my kiddos!
