Week In the Life-Monday+Words

I didn't get as many pictures as I would have liked because I woke up with a yucky head cold and felt pretty bad.  Moms don't get the day off when they are sick so I still went about my day but took a lot less pictures than I normally would have!

Woke up at 5:30 and went downstairs to meet my morning date...the dishwasher:)  I try to get this unloaded first thing because if I don't, it hangs over my head until I do.  It literally takes less than 5 minutes but for some reason it is my least favorite thing to do around the house.  I would rather clean a toilet, weird, I know.

Once I did my dishwasher duties, had my coffee and enjoyed my few minutes of silence I woke the kids up and fed them breakfast.  Their new favorite breakfast is an english muffin (or 2). After they ate, they got dressed, did hair, brushed teeth and were all ready for school!  Anderson woke up on his own right before I needed to take them so it worked out great.

After we got Aiden and Annabella off to school it was breakfast time for Mr. Anderson.  I love and cherish my mornings alone with him. Since I didn't feel well we snuggled for a while and watched some Mickey Mouse Club House.  He's my little snuggle bug and kept cupping my face in his hands saying, "My Mommy."  It doesn't get any better than that.

Once I was feeling a little more human we got up and did some of our usual things.  I worked on our dinner menu for the week, laundry etc. and Anderson played with some play dough and sink bubbles.  Notice the face he is making while cutting the play dough.  I love his cutting face:)  Such concentration. 

The kids got home from school around 2:20.  They had a snack did homework and then had a little down time.  We had to leave at 3:30 for gymnastics so Aiden went to my my friend, Debbie's house and Annabella, Anderson and I headed to the YMCA.  We dropped Bella off and went to do some grocery shopping.  Picked Bella up at 5, went home, ate dinner and headed back out the door for Aiden's first baseball practice. He loved it!  I love watching him play sports, he really enjoys it.

We got home around 8 from practice. I got everyone ready for bed, left my house a disaster and got in bed myself.  Anderson was not ready for bed after all the down time we had during the day so he ended up in my bed until 11pm and we took some silly pictures:) It was my favorite part of the day.

So this was my Monday.  Wish I felt better but this is real life and this is what I captured.
