Oh these are sweet days!
After the bustle of the holidays, activities have started back full swing, and we are settling into something that almost feels normal. Of course "normal" is a funny word that doesn't mean too much, but suffice it to say that we are in a good routine.
I like to rise before every one else and enjoy one hot meal that isn't rushed or interrupted. The kids get up around 7:15 for breakfast, just about the time Ray is out the door to work. By 7:45 we are out the door to take Aunt Jenna to work and that's where things get interesting!
Throughout the week we juggle school and naps and chores and errands.
I'm still trying to get a better handle on dinner time. We pick Jenna up from work at 5, and Ray is home around 6:30. Somewhere in there I get the kids fed. Ray and I either grab bites as we can, or wait for the bedtime routine to be finished. This is probably my least favorite time of the day, because it is always chaotic, and we're all just a little cranky.
But we get through it and on the best days, have a little play time. Bath time is at 7pm. Grayson first, then the girls as needed. It's all said and done by 8:30. At this point in the day I am more than ready to call it, but there are always things to do, and sometimes Ray has rehearsal.
That's life right now. Always something to do, with a million moments of love and laughs sprinkled in.
