Summer Vacation Weeks 2-4

Our summer vacation has been pretty boring so far. The girls have fun playing with their friends every day but we have yet to really go do anything (splash park, beach, lake, etc.) because of my working 3 days a week and so far my days off have all involved packing/getting ready to go to Crescent Bar, except for week 2 when I had a bad cold so still couldn't do much.

Week 2

Monday through Wednesday - I worked, girls with babysitter but played with friends a lot.
Thursday - wanted to take them up to see my mom but I had a bad cold so stayed home and cleaned while they played with friends off and on.
Friday - More of the same. We were going to go to Target and a few other places but realized the booster seats were in Paul's car.

Week 3

Monday - work/babysitter
Tuesday - work/babysitter
Wednesday work/babysitter, then birthday party at friend's down the street
Thursday - Another day off spent packing for Crescent Bar, but we did get out and run some errands and get hair cuts.
Friday - Annual 4th of July community celebration with pony rides, face painting, bouncy houses, etc. then BBQ/party at a neighbors.

Saturday morning we left for Crescent Bar and stayed until Tuesday.

Week 4

Monday - At Crescent Bar
Tuesday - Home from Crescent Bar, another birthday party down the street.
Wednesday - I worked and the girls spent the whole day at a friend's.
Thursday - work/babysitter
Friday - work/babysitter, then Paul took them to Rattlesnake Lake when he got home.

Next week is Frozen Dance Camp (dance camp, where the theme will be the movie "Frozen"). A few of their friends are doing it also and they are going to love it. And since I have to work M-W, one of their friend's moms is going to drive them there and keep them after until Paul gets home from work, so we don't need to have a babysitter all week.

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 ...

A Very Belated 2023 Recap

I guess I took a bit of a blogging break. I only blogged three times last year and this will be my first post so far this year. I just haven’t been in the mood but now suddenly I am. We’ll see how long it lasts. Where to even begin? A lot has happened since I last blogged. The girls are about to turn 16, have jobs and are on the verge of getting their driver’s licenses. We took an amazing trip to Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell and Las Vegas last summer. We celebrated our 17th anniversary and are closing in on our 18th. We attended some great concerts, did some fun hikes and have had lots of fun date nights, game nights and girl’s/guy’s nights out. Ok, I guess that’s not all that much but whatever. So, I guess to start off my 2024 blogging, I will recap 2023: I turned 54 in January. For President's Day weekend we went to Crescent Bar and from there Paul and Kayley went skiing at Mission Ridge and...

Show Us Your Life - Dining Rooms

It's time for this week's Show Us Your Life, brought to you by Kelly's Korner , and this week it's dining rooms. We have a very open floorplan, so when you walk in our front door the dining room is to the right and the living room to the left, with the fireplace straight ahead. It's basically all one big room. I bought the table and sideboard at Dania when I bought my first condo back in 2002. It looked great in that condo, but for this house I wish I had black dining room furniture. The table and sideboard are the same color as the trim, and then with the white walls (although we finally got one wall painted) it's just so blah. And like most other rooms in the house, we have yet to hang curtains (not that we're going to hang them in every room, but we have yet to hang any). Looking in from the kitchen. Need curtains! Looking in from the living room. Notice the plastic protector underneath, for when the kids throw their sp...
