my typical day

One of my favorite blogs, Kelly's Korner, has "show us your life" every Friday. Today is "show us your typical day". I thought I'd take a minute to jot down our typical day right now. You should all do this on your blog too... I love to read about how others spend their days. It's a great way to get ideas and see how others manage their busy schedules.

Here's MY day.

6am: Wake up, head downstairs to either exercise or have quiet time. I usually exercise M,W,F, and have quiet times with my Beth Moore Bible study T,Th, which takes me about 30-40 minutes to do. The other days, prayer time is my form of quiet time.

6:30am: David gets back from running and we eat breakfast together.

6:45am: I head upstairs to shower and get ready for the day. David irons his work shirt and then goes up to shower while I'm getting ready. (Yes, David irons his own work shirts because I can't do it well and he's accepted that, so he's happily agreed to do it himself. What a great man!) :)

7:30am: Camden is already up and I make him breakfast if David hasn't already done it. He normally eats breakfast while watching morning cartoons. I bring him down clothes to get dressed after he eats.

7:30am/8am: Anderson wakes up and I bring him down to dress him and feed him breakfast. David leaves for work.

8am-8:45am: The boys play while I clean up from breakfast, unload the dishwasher, make Camden's lunch for school, check email, and eat my breakfast. Usually all of the above.

8:50am: Get in the car to take Camden to preschool.

9am: Anderson and I either run errands, head home to play, or we meet friend(s) to have a playdate.

11am: Anderson and I are both starving so we eat lunch and play until we have to leave to get Camden.

12:30pm: Get Camden from school. If it's nice weather, we head to the school playground to play for about 30-45 minutes. Lately in the yucky weather, we've gone to the indoor playground to play.

1:30pm: Get home and have a quick snack before nap/quiet time.

2pm: Nap time / quiet time. Mommy time. :) Camden has quiet time either in my bed or his, where he reads books or plays with some quiet toys for about an hour and a half. Anderson usually sleeps for about 2 - 2.5 hours. I will normally sit down to catch up on email and blogs, watch a DVR'd show, or fold laundry. I try to rest during this time and not be so busy.

3:30pm: Camden comes down, has a snack and watches a show.

4-4:30pm: Anderson wakes up and has a snack. The boys and I play until I start dinner.

5pm: Start dinner, while boys are playing and running around the house. This is the time of day where it appears a tornado has hit my house. Literally.

5:45pm: David gets home and we eat as a family.

6:30pm: David takes the boys to play upstairs while I clean up dinner. I usually head up when I'm finished.

7pm: David bathes Anderson while Camden plays in his room and I put away laundry or clean up a little.

7:30pm: Anderson goes down for the night, Camden and David usually play computer games (Playhouse Disney website - he loves it!) until Camden's bedtime.

8pm: Camden gets ready for bed, has a story, and goes to sleep.

8:15pm: David and I clean up the living room real quick and crash on the couch. We normally have a show we will watch, or we'll just read a book/magazine while the other catches up on computer stuff.

9:30-10pm: We head to bed because we are e-x-h-a-u-s-t-e-d!

What is YOUR day like??
