A Day in the Life in May

Can you believe it?  Here I am writing about the 8th… on the 9th!  So here’s May’s day in the life – it was a Thursday.

7:00am: woke up to nurse babies.  (This means that they slept until 7 – wahoo!)

8:10: Topped off babies so I could be gone a couple of hours.

About 8:45 my mom came over to watch everyone except Natalie.

9:00am: dropped Natalie off at school (and realized it was the 8th so I took a random picture of her backpack hung up).

Then I dropped off our (very last for the foreseeable future) tuition check and stopped to use the internet to get directions to a friend’s house.

Then I drove to said friend’s house to take some pictures.  Then of course, because we are women, we chatted for awhile.  It was lovely and I totally needed it.

I stopped for a Sonic drink on the way home and relieved my mom about 10:30. Only Mr. Michael was up, so she hadn’t had to deal with too much grumpy.  :)

My Js were eating a snack and watching The Incredibles on the iPad. (Extremely fabulous picture taken over my shoulder while I was nursing on the couch.)

11:00: I nursed the babies.  Somewhere around then my sister and her friend (who were in town most of the week!!!) stopped by and snuggled nieces and nephews for a little while.  They left for lunch, taking some things I needed to return in Humble with them.  Yay!!

11:40: The Js watched Kathryn and Tawna leave and then stayed at the window to watch for Lisa, who was due shortly.

My very cute helpers and I decided to fold some diapers.

Joanna took this one of us – she did well!

Pretty diapers all folded up and ready to wear!

A little before noon Lisa came and picked up Joanna because it was early release for her girls.  They went to play.  I put the babies down for a nap and set James up with his favorite movie – Cars.

At 12:25 I sat down to do a little work in Photoshop Elements for the online class I’m taking.

At 1:16 I heard our first waker, Mr. Thomas.  I think I got him up and held him for a few minutes while Michael slept a bit more.

By 1:30 I was sitting and nursing the babies.

This was at 2:25 – playtime!

You can see the ever so slight difference in quality from my iPod touch camera to my big girl camera:

At about 2:40 Kathryn and Tawna delivered Natalie to me; they’d picked her up from school.  About that time I laid the babies down for another nap.

Then over the next couple of hours I did laundry and took care of little people.

At 4:20 I nursed the babies.

Matt got home about 5:00 and at 5:20 we headed to Grandma’s house for enchilada night.  (Usually they’re on Fridays, but this one was early so K and T could be there!)

See all the baby holding people?!!!!

James crashed in the car and stayed asleep when we brought him inside.

It was musical people for the babies.  Yay for lotsa arms!

Natalie was soooooooo sweet holding baby Drew.

At some point Joanna disappeared with Grandpa David, and he texted me this picture:

The babies got grouchy so I nursed them and Thomas took me up on my offer of a little nursing nap:

It was a WONDERFUL evening with family!! We left about 7:40.  Everyone was turning into pumpkins.

At home we got everyone ready and sent to bed by 8:30 or so.

This was the last picture I took, at 9:05:

I was settled on the couch with the last of my shortbread cookies, some Nutella, and my husband for a little television.

I think I went to bed about 10:30.

That’s a wrap! (It only took me 24 hours to write this.)  :)
