My Day

Julyssa has inspired me to document my daily life. She took pictures of her daily doings for a whole week and sent out a challenge for others to try it. I am amazed that she had the stamina to keep it up for seven days (I had a hard enough time trying to take pictures of everything for one day!) Of course I wasn't able to document everything, but I think you get a pretty good idea of what my days are like.

6:37 a.m.
Choices, choices. choices...




Getting set up for my step aerobics class (Eve's helping me before she goes to kiddie care in the other room.)





The girls conducting their "apple experiment" (The day before we checked a book out from the library about apples. Grace was fascinated that there are so many different types of apples and said she wanted to try them all. I told her that I would be happy to buy every kind I could find the next time I went to the grocery store. The store only had 6 different types (we learned there are actually thousands of varieties), but that was enough for our experiment!

The girls like to play princesses in the front yard while I mow the lawn.




Grace often helps put Eve down for her nap.

I finally got a shower!

Eve offering me a "present."



Daddy's Home!






Many of these things happen everyday like taking grace to school, going to the gym (although my class varies each day), doing dishes, and a lot of the other normal routines...but my days may also include such fun things as playgroup, Costco, library, soccer practice, etc...
