Inspired by this post, I decided to capture an ordinary day for us by setting a timer to take a picture roughly every hour on a totally regular day. I did chose a day when I didn't have to work, since pictures of my computer would be considerably less interesting. Eva is eight months old, Noah is two years eight months.
6am:
Eva's awake. And happy to see me. :)
8:30am:
Mommy begins negotiations with Noah about getting dressed.
There is a lot of whining involved.
9:30am:
Apparently mommy won that round.
We drove to Drumlin Farm and are finishing our nap/snack before unloading.
10:30am:
11:30am:
Noah helps Caroline with the water fountain. Eva is asleep in the Ergo.
12:30:
Unfortunately, I left my phone in the car so you don't get to see the absolute madhouse that is lunchtime with two little kids. Instead, I present...
1:30pm:
Both kids are down for a nap. Mommy returns to the kitchen to tackle the mess.
2:30pm:
Mommy choses pilates over cleaning up the living room.
3:30pm:
Everyone's up again. Time for some milk.
4:30pm:
Ollie (from next door) comes over to help Noah with the garden.
5:30pm:
A bit of time for the bike before Daddy comes home
6:30pm
Dinner! All of the insanity of lunchtime, but with wine.
7:30pm:
8:00pm:
9:15pm:
Craziness. Jill proposes doing this four times over the course of the year, and I think that's a great idea. We'll see how different things are in a few months!
Looks like a productive day to me! I know what you mean about meal time chaos. It looks like a bomb went off in our kitchen after every meal. I rarely have the energy to tackle it before the next meal. Loved it! Thanks so much for participating.
