A week in the Life: Day 7

Day 7 in A Week in the Life. Last Day, Enjoy!

Bugs ready to go to Boogie's T-Ball game. Very hot yesterday!!!

The family stylin' with their sunglasses and ready to roll to the game.

 "Holly Hobbie"

Waiting for his turn at bat.

Aim for the fences!

Very tired Buggy after the t-ball game!

Trying to be more organized:  Carolina Pad 13-pocket file folder for coupons, small file folder for receipts, my Brother Labeler, and a card holder to lessen the junk in my wallet...

Dinner out last night! A very belated Christmas gift to my in-laws.

It took 3 tries, but I got everyone to smile. Hubby with his parents after our dinner.

Night sky on our way home, last night.

A Week in the Life: Day 6

I wish I brought my camera around more. I was still able to get some cute pictures. Enjoy!

My little girl without her signature pigtails. Makes her look much older...I don't know how I feel about this.

Another view of her single ponytail...still not sure how I feel about this.

Dining al fresco. The children are there, just hard to see.

Perfect outdoor dinner. Brats, loaded with peppers, the best watermelon ever, and potato chips!

So good, yum!

My son loves creepy-crawlies and likes to name them. This year, this little guy is "furry." When my son returned him to where he found him, he said, "Good luck finding your family!"

The kids brushing their teeth at bedtime. Buggy is always fighting, (ahem, I mean asserting), her right to share the same stool with her brother.

A Week in the Life: Day 5

Today was Boogie's monthly preschool sing and since it was Thursday, it also means T-ball practice. Enjoy!

Waiting to sing the next song.

Batter Up!

Ready and waiting to catch a ball!

Buggy snacking in the car waiting for Boogie to finish practice.

Thursday=Take Out

My daughter the carnivore...chomping on a chicken leg. Yum!

Sorting the kids' outgrown clothes into buckets to be used again by another baby (I hope!) Can you find Buggy in this picture?

A Week in the Life: Day 4

Today was a little tougher. I think my son needed a nap. He was teary eyed and fussy in the morning. I was much the same as I was also tired. I need more sleep! Here some fun pictures from Day 4. Enjoy!

My movie star children! I had to buy my son sunglasses because he is really sensitive to sunlight. He is enjoying wearing them, especially since Daddy got a new pair recently.

I just love Buggy's expression in this one. She makes me laugh all the time.

Profile shot.

Of course, a picture with Chester

More laughter from my little one.  Really difficult to get a picture of my constantly moving children :)

One of the ways I relax, a mug of my favorite tea! Celestial Seasonings Decaf Sweet Coconut Thai. Yum!

A birthday gift from Uncle David, a baby pterodactyl.

My birthday gift from my brother. I'm very excited to put new tunes on my new ipod!

The gift from my sweet Hubby. I love the inscription. This little thing will help make my 5-miler more enjoyable, especially paired with the itunes gift card from my little brother.

This was supposed to be my "before" picture of my kitchen table before dinner and then I would have a pretty after picture...

...not so much...here is the after picture...a class project my son and I were working on for his preschool teachers.  The table was clean for dinner and then right back to where we started. I need a better system!

My sweet hubby helping out after the kids are in bed. Thank you, Sweetheart!!!

A Week in the Life: Day 3

I've been documenting my week, but a few things that I couldn't document with my camera are:
--my son waking up early in the morning asking my husband to fix his sheets and then telling him that he was going on an adventure at school.
--my son fully waking up in the morning and singing, "Good morning, good morning, good morning dear Mommy," before coming down the stairs.
--my husband calling and suggesting we do dinner out (I was sooooo grateful because I was falling down tired!)
--the amazing and gorgeous full moon we had (Note to self: always bring your camera with you, especially if you are documenting a day in pictures!)

Here is Day 3, enjoy!

The view from our mini van's "conversation mirror."

Trusty Chester who goes with us everywhere, but stays in the car waiting for his best friend to come back.

A box turtle sunning himself on a floating dock. Just one of the cool things we saw on our field trip to Meadowside Nature Center.

Lilypads. Reminds me of college, eh, Jessica?

My son paying attention and looking for the box turtle and telling me that the lilpads were beautiful!

Another box turtle. This time sunning himself in the tadpole pond.

On our way to soccer.  My daughter snuggling with her "baby."

My son has officially given up his naps, but fell asleep on the way to Buggy's soccer class. I had to wake up the poor little guy when we got there. He was so tired it took me several minutes to wake him.

My husband's old law school backpack, now serving a higher purpose as our diaper bag.

A rearview mirror shot.  Buggy waiting to go into soccer, and Boogie fast asleep.

An interesting picture before soccer class. My daughter in the background, and my son (the blur) in the foreground. This pretty much sums up my day. My daughter methodical and independent, and my son, a constant blur of energy and enthusiasm.

A Week in the Life: Day 2

Day 2 of my week long post on a week in my life. Enjoy!

Our garden that Hubby planted. I don't have a green thumb, but I did help to plant the seeds in individual planters. After they sprouted Hubby and Boogie planted our garden. I will help weed and harvest. Yum!

This is after 5 days of putting one of those sponge in a capsule toys in water. It took FOREVER for it be born. My son was very patient and very excited.

My son's daily breakfast of dinosaur oatmeal. He's on a dinosaur kick right now. The dinosaur eggs hatch after being cooked. You stir and dinosaurs!

Filling out my daughter's 18 month survey for the doctor.

Candyland, anyone?

A little play-doh fun while the baby sleeps.

My trusty running shoes. Two weeks old, but already infused with blood and sweat. They will carry me through the Germantown 5-miler in 3 weeks!

Blurry, but I love our expressions as we cuddle together on the couch before bed!
