6:19:Day begins with Max calling Mama… I was actually
pleased with this time, because all weekend he was up crazy early… but I would
still like him to sleep a bit longer. I go and get him and bring him to bed to
snuggle. A few minutes later I hear Jack go to the bathroom and then straight
out to play. Max hears the cars and jumps off my bed to join them. I lay in bed
for a few more min.
6:45: took this picture of them playing nicely.
6:50: checked the weather online, facebook and e-mail
quickly. Max goes from my lap to playing several times… he is getting good at
saying “up, mama” :o)
7:00: brush teeth, get dressed, have cereal, garbage out,
dishes washes
7:40 out the door to run. Ended up being a big ordeal.. both
kids wanted to bring a lot of “stuff” and ended up crying… eventually got down
to the parking lot and picked up the stroller and Jack’s bike. Jack biked an
“out and back” which was two miles. His chain fell off twice during this route…
we really need to get that looked at, I think its getting too loose. We parked
his bike and I did two more loops near home to finish a 3.5 mile run for the
day. Just as we were getting finished Jack doesn’t listen and looses his Thomas
watching privilege for the day.. (more crying!) Max had fallen asleep, but
didn’t make the transfer back home.
9:00: I called my mom to ask her a question and we ended up
skyping with her at Sarah and Kyle’s house. So fun to see Lane and Calli, (and
the babies in Sarah’s belly!).
9:30: I jump in the shower, boys are playing well together.
9:45: do some prep for my tutoring session this afternoon,
change Max’s poopy diaper, load of laundry in.
10:15: leave for errands, drop of a suit to be dry cleaned, walk over to the shopping
center. I reward the boys for good walking by letting them ride the little
carousel.
The thing is quite funny, and plays Christmas music, but Jack has
enjoyed this for a long time, Max hates it… but we always try. We go to the
post office and mail a birthday package to the Paines. Grab a quick coffee and
free OJ at McD’s (I have a member card :o) {more on McDonalds in Hong Kong coming next week!}.
Walk home… the boys find
some distractions so it takes a long time, but fun and only a little rainy.
11:20: Home.. wash hands make lunch. Grilled cheese,
cucumbers and tomato soup for the boys and a salad for me.
12:00 clean up lunch and the boys played while I did some
sewing.
1:00 boys down for a nap. I hung the load of laundry from
this morning and put in a load of diapers. Devotions, then sent some thank yous
for my birthday gifts, then worked on a blog post for tomorrow.
2:30 tutoring my student Derek. We are reading the book
Hatchet and working on adverbs and adjectives in writing.
3:00 boys wake up
3:30 finish with Derek. Start bread and rice for dinner,
make a few phone calls to try and make arrangements for fixing up our new
place. Boys make a mess of the living room, and also play in the hall with the
neighbor kids.
4:30 read books to Jack ( and max for the few minutes he
will sit.)
5:00 blog
5:25 work on finishing dinner/playing with the boys/cleaning
up the crazy living room before dad gets home. Hang diapers to dry.
6:30 Bryan
comes home, eat dinner. Stuffed peppers and fresh bread with two dips; Spinach
and taziki.
7:00 Bryan
takes the boys down to the complex playroom to run for a bit. I get some sewing
done.
7:45 Boys come back. I supervise Max in the bath while Bryan
and Jack make a train track. Max is pretty tired tonight.
8:30 Jack and Bryan shower. Boys in Pjs and ready for bed.
Max rocks with me for awhile before going to bed.
9:00 boys in bed. Bryan
reads three Bible stories to tuck them in. I am posting this blog…
Bryan and I will play a game, watch a little tv and be
asleep before we can count to 10 :o)
See you tomorrow!
