I hate Daylight Savings Time, and both the time changes that go along with it. I think it’s stupid and ridiculous and it messes with everyone’s life for no good reason I can see. So there.
Before I was a mother I always loved the fall time change – gain an hour – yay!! But now I like the spring one much better. And here’s why.
7:40 (that’s SEVEN FORTY): Michael woke up
By 8:10 both boys were up and Matt had changed them while I got myself situated to nurse them.
The big kids slept in as well, even not accounting for the time change. At 9:03 I was having snuggles with my big girl; she and her sister had just gotten up.
I finally realized James wasn’t up (the kid is the first one up 97% of the time) and woke him up at around NINE.
Here he is with his adorable bed head at 9:20.
Matt fiiiiiiiiiiinally got around to getting rid of his not-running old car this week. Hallelujah! And he made a couple bucks on it!
They came and hauled it off at 9:45 (which is one of the reasons we missed church, the others are rain, time change, and grouchy one year olds).
I love this front window. The kids loved watching the car go away.
At 10:03 I was sorting dirty laundry to begin washing. (Twelve hours later and it’s still not quite done.)
At 11:04 I found myself in the pantry, frustrated at all the mess so I organized the pantry and the kids’ closet that’s also in there.
It apparently took about an hour. :) It looks so good! The kids were even excited about it, and at least one of them promised to keep it that way. Ha!
At 12:07 we finally got Thomas up from the nap he wouldn’t take. Can you tell he loves me the most?
I got started on lunch and was getting close to serving by 1:00. We had French toast, bacon, and smoothies.
After lunch Thomas went down for a make-up nap, Matt took James and Michael to run a few errands, and the girls and I cleaned up the kitchen and dining room.
Thomas woke up at 2:30, having only slept about 30 minutes I think. Ew. But we snuggled (well, wrestled, played, rolled, whatever) on my bed while the girls watched a movie in the living room.
At 3:46 I took this adorable picture. Thomas was tickling Michael!
The babies continued to play in my room while I watched a little Friends on Netflix and edited some pics. James joined the girls with their movie.
At 5:03 I was making dinner – loaded tostadas. It’s one meal that everyone loves!
Matt’s plate:
5:46 – My plate was the last one I made, and I ended up having chips and “dip” since we were out of tostadas. Super good though!
The kids unloaded the dishwasher after dinner then had applesauce for “dessert.” It was 6:04.
After that I cleaned up the kitchen and did laundry while Matt wrangled the veeeeeeery grouchy babies. Actually Michael wasn’t that grouchy but Thomas was a mess. The big kids cleaned up toys and got ready for bed.
The babies went down about 7:30, and the big kids followed a little before 8:00.
Natalie is my sweep helper. She always picks up my piles as I go. :) This was 7:43.
After the kids went to bed I took a muuuuuuuch needed shower. All clean!
I then got into bed for some more television, picture editing, and milk and cookies. :)
By 9:40 I was writing these notes and eating a bowl of leftover noodles. (I got hungry!)
Now it’s 10:20, I’m almost finished on the computer, and I just made Matt stop snoring to go transfer laundry. :) I’m going to load a few dishes into the dishwasher and then run it before coming back to bed, hopefully for the night.
