A day in our life....

A few days ago I wrote about a day in Z's life.  I thought that was all the photos I took that day, but after going back and looking, I remember I had originally planned for it to be a day in our life that I was documenting.  Our days do vary but for the most part, we get most of all these things done, most days.   Somedays we get more cleaning done, somedays we get more schoolwork done...usually can't get a lot of schoolwork, and a lot of cleaning all in one day....so there is usually a balance, either throughout one day, or maybe 2-3 days.   This day was a productive day, and a tiring day.  .

This particular day began like this.  It is amazing how being out of town just 1 night and then have another that I don't do laundry, and this is what ya get. These baskets are flowing into the hall b/c there is nowhere to stand inside that tiny laundry room.

The girls did clean their room that day

We were working on our Rainforest lapbook, and were making parrots out of handprint and footprint outlines.  I chose this activity so that we could include some preschool for Z too.

Daddy C helped him out with his feet and hands

I have been having the kids get up to present their work they have done that day

We took time out for some silly pics...

Thge girls messed their room back up...but that is b/c they wanted to actually play in there, since it was clean :)

My room was the catch-all, as always

I did get my laundry somewhat caught up for the day...at least enough that it was out of the hall by the end of the day.

I never made it around to this hall...that had all the things we'd packed for grandma's.....I did get that done the next day I think.

Of course, with 7 people eating at our house 3 meals that day, we'd already cleaned the kitchen once or twice, and this is how it still looked a the end of the day...  (See, all this housework in a day, and still not getting done, is what I am trying to work on with my house clearing out.  It is a work in progress, I hope in a couple of weeks, I can tell a big difference...crossing my fingers!)

The girls did attend speech therapy that day, that is once a week, and they are getting a lot of help with their "r's and w's"  and they love going.

But that messy kitchen didn't stop R from treating us to some of her homemade sugar cookies :)  YUM!!
