A Day in the Life

This is going to be a LONG post. But I thought it might be fun. It will probably take me forever to put it together. We shall see.

4:30 AM - Leo is up for the first time since going to bed at 7 PM. Not too shabby. Tom feeds him, puts him in our bed to fall back asleep and is off for the day. Toodle-loo.

7:15 AM - The older boys are up and ready to go. Luckily they are both in good moods and are not instantly fighting. SCORE! We go downstairs because Leo is still snoozing.

Breakfast and cartoons. 

I added a crap ton of creamer, haha. It was delicious.  I had about 8 more cups. Not kidding.

7:35 AM - Leo is up and squealing in my bed.
Good morning baby brother

Practicing rolling over. SO close!

7:55 AM - I need to hop in the shower. I leave all three boys on the rug unattended and hope for the best. I get out of the shower and hear screaming. Jack apparently took Finn's spot. Everyone was still alive so it was a success in my book.






Why wouldn't Bailey start barking like crazy to go outside the second I get out of the shower?


 8:10 AM - Start getting everyone dressed. Thank goodness Jack can dress solo.

8:20 AM - Gotta start packing everyone up and get shoes, coats, and hats on (snowing this morning in MN) so we can leave for Jack's preschool.

8:40 - All loaded up and ready to hit the road


9:05 - Back at home, need to feed Leo and hope he takes a nap.


9:30 AM - Get Leo down for a nap. Clean the kitchen, do a load of laundry, read some blogs, give Finn a snack. I didn't take any pictures during this time. Whoopsie.

10:20 AM - Leo is up from his nap. Entertain the kids for a bit before it's time to pack up again to go pick up Jack.

11:10 AM - Leave to go pick up Jack.

11:45 AM - Home from preschool. Eat lunch, clean up crumbs. Wait for Alissa and Cooper to come over.



12:30 PM - Alissa and Cooper arrive.


CooLeo

12:45 PM - Finn goes down for a nap. Leo takes a tiny snooze. Jack plays with his phone. Cooper eats and snoozes. Alissa and I chit chat.

1:45 PM - Leo is up and ready to play again. And decides he wants to roll over for the first time!!


2:30 PM - Alissa and Coop head out. Time to play some scrabble on the phone



3:00 PM - Finn is up. Leo takes a short little snooze and then is up after like 35 min. What is up with this kid NEVER sleeping these days?

4:00 PM - I'm starting to get antsy. Leo is being fussy. Time to start dinner and put him in the exersaucer where he is content for all of 10 minutes.






On the menu for tonight. Pear Autumn Salad for the grown ups. Mac and Cheese for the kiddos.




5:15 PM - dinner is complete. Dad takes the boys down to the basement while I clean up the kitchen. Then it's time to get ready for swimming lessons. This week dad is in the pool with Finn. I stay home to feed Leo and put him to bed.


6:00 PM - The boys are off to swimming lessons. I make Leo's bottle and turn on Revenge, because I didn't watch it on Sunday and am obsessed with that show!

Nakey boy. Time for PJs


7:05 PM - Leo is down for the count. Quick finish the laundry. The boys are back from swimming.



The curls are back. haha. His hair looks like an afro.
7:15 PM - Start bedtime routine with the boys. Jammies on. Brush teeth. Go potty. Read books. We've been reading books separately lately, I got Finn last night. We read Toy Story, weird I know.



7:30 PM - Finn has to go potty one last time. Jack is already snoring in bed. I pour myself a much deserved glass of wine. Catch up on Facebook and Instagram. Graze around on Pinterest.



8:45 PM - Tom and I watch the last episode of season 2 Breaking Bad. We are obsessed.

10:00 PM - I head up to bed. Do my netti pot because my nose is stuffed. It's stuffed so bad the water wouldn't even drain. I thought it was going to explode in my brain. Not kidding. Make bottles for the night, hoping we won't need both. And check in on Leo.



haha. Do you think he misses the swaddle?
10:15 PM - GOODNIGHT!

For the record, our night was HORRENDOUS. Like one of the worst nights in a long, long time. Finn was up multiple times. Leo was ready to rock n roll at about 3 AM. Hello 4 month restless period. I can't stand you. Today is a new day, but it's again proving to be difficult. BLAH.
