A Day in the Life for Mrs. Eyestone

I had an excellent day with my kids. So I thought today would be a great day to write an answer to #12 From the survey in my blog post "While the Trains Bang..." Now considering I have a 2 year old and a 10 month old who grow and change every day, there is no such thing as "typical" right now. Generally, though, the days are pretty much based around the kids. Mornings and sometimes his skipped nap time are filled with his tot school activities..In the mornings, I usually try to involve Lorelai to play with us as well. I love to have some kind of exercise fun..I will get them to "Follow the leader" as best they can or sometimes we do things like turn on music and have a dance party. We like to spend afternoons at the playground. Nights are for dinner and bathtime. Also, the kids usually get to stay up until Stephen gets home. Just for some example, here is how today went. Hope you enjoy it!

A day in the life…

Today the kids were awake and ready to play by 8am. Mommy wasn’t feeling so great but eh, they don’t care, haha. I got them up and fed them mini pancakes for breakfast.Then got them dressed for the day. With how I felt the last couple of days, I hadn’t had much quality time with them. So today the plan was to suck it up as much as possible.  Over the past weekend a bought a bag of mini pumpkins. The intention is to bring out the finger paint soon and let the 2 of them go at it, but that’s for a day when Daddy is off work and can enjoy it too. So today I got them out so we could talk about them. We discussed the letter P, their color and stems, as well as, texture. They both enjoyed how the size of them fit in their hands, of course sister went for a taste test, luckily I didn’t have to worry too much! I think they will be super excited when we paint them!

We read some books. After that, I turned on our toddler Pandora station and encouraged them to dance and get some good exercise. Then we had a little lunch with some leaf shaped sugar cookies I had baked for them. Such a rare treat that they gobbled up within seconds.

At that point, they were both getting a little grumpy so I layed them both down for naps, and after switching over laundry, spending some time on Pinterest, I caught some snoozing on the couch too.

Once we all woke again, I heard some other kids outside playing, so I decided to get them their snacks to take outside.  We spent about an hour out playing and enjoying the weather. They both LOVE being outside so it was pretty perfect.

We came back in once they were hungry again and had some dinner. Now they are bathed and bouncing around the living room. As soon as Daddy gets home to see them for a few minutes, it’s definetly off to bed time.

 

It was a fantastic day with my kiddos :)
