A Week in the Life - Wednesday

I woke up at 8:10 this morning, went to the bathroom and was still tired and groggy so I turned on the Today show and crawled back into bed.  I lied there until 8:30 then took a shower.  While I was in the shower Olivia came in and got in bed.  Soon after I got out Kayley got up so they watched Calliou while I got ready and cleaned the whole bathroom.
At 9:30 we went down for breakfast, then we left at 10:40 for our mom's group playdate to Flying Pie Pizzeria, where the girls got to make their own pie.  They were really excited and had a great time.  It was fun to see some of the kids and moms that we haven't seen in a long time.  They really enjoyed playing with one girl in particular so her mom and I talked about getting together at a park sometime in the near future.

After pizza, we went to Target, then came home, had a snack and played.  Paul got home at 3:40 and I went to the gym.  Then it was dinner, clean-up toys (the girls had every. single. toy they have out and scattered all over the entire house, and I'm talking like all the little pieces of Polly Pocket/Strawberry Shortcake clothing and accessories, etc.) and bathtime.

It's almost 9:00 and they're still in the tub, so they're probably not going to be in bed until around 9:30 tonight, at which time I am going to watch some Frasier on DVD (I missed a lot of it when it was on the air so I've been renting it through Netflix) and read.

Luther Burbank Park

Last summer a friend of mine introduced me to this cool park on Mercer Island.  When we went, we only played at the swimming beach and never explored the rest of the park or played on the playground.  So yesterday, we finally went back with a picnic lunch and checked out some more of the park (there's still another section we didn't get to, so maybe next time).  The playground was really cool with all sorts of nooks and cranies, and old-fashioned metal slides and ladders.  They girls loved it. View from our picnic spot A pyramid with slides on the other side Lake Washington beyond Chair swings--never seen these before I-90 bridge over Lake Washington Trail along the lake leading to the swimming beach Should have brought swimsuits.  They were SO sandy and wet coming home.

First Day of 10th Grade

 Today was the first day of 10th grade for the girls.  Sophomores.  I can't believe we only have two more of these.  Not counting college, of course. Kayley Kayley again Olivia It has become my tradition to take the day before and the first day off.  Back in the elementary days, the day before the first day was "meet the teacher day", so I would always take them to that, then in middle school we would just go to lunch or get our nails done.  Last year was their first day of high school, though, so that day was orientation and that brings us up to this year.  The day before the first day is "Wildcat Day", which is mostly a freshman and new student orientation.  Olivia is in ASB so she had to go help with that, but Kayley didn't go.  Instead, her and I took some of her old clothes to this resale store called Plato's Closet to try and sell them (it's similar to a consignment shop except they just pay you then and there and then resell them, instead of o

A Day in My Life

  It's time once again for the Multiples and More Question of the Week:  A Day in Your Life. What is your schedule like? Do you work outside the home or stay home with the kids?   I am very blessed to be a SAHM.  Our schedule looks something like this: The girls get up anywhere between 7:20 and 8:20, but usually around 8:00.  Lately I've been letting them watch an episode of Dora so I can get on the computer and check email, Facebook, etc.  Otherwise they just play for an hour or so and then we have breakfast. By the time we're done with breakfast (fixing, eating and cleaning up) it's usually between 9:30 and 10:00.  We get dressed, and then we go wherever we're going that day (errands, park, playdate, etc.).  If it's a stay home day, I'll usually do a DVD workout while they just play upstairs and then we'll go for a walk or play outside after. Lunch is anywhere between 12:00 and 1:00, and nap is 1:30 or 2:00 to 4:00 or 4:30. After their nap
