Mommy Time

I love my children, but being with them from 7am to 9pm every day this summer was extremely exhausting. I was fortunate enough to have a couple nights away (one time they were consecutive nights!!)

Outing 1:

New Kids on the Block Concert "The Package Tour", opening act: Boyz II Men!

2nd Act: 98 degrees (nick lachey)

NKOTB!

Vanilla Ice even made a surprise guest appearance.

Outing 2: the overnight! A short weekend in Texas with some Math girls to see another concert.
1st Act: Gavin DeGraw

2nd Act: The Script

Main Act: TRAIN!

Pool day

Kemah Boardwalk, with dinner at Aquarium

Both outings were wonderful. Thank to my wonderful husband and Grandma Nancy for watching the kids while I got away!

Morning Routine

I wake up between 5:15 and 5:40 to get ready for the day; am downstairs between 6 and 6:15 to check emails and watch any shows on the DVR that I am behind with. Kids start waking up around 7. The order varies; sometimes Aubry comes downstairs to snuggle for a few minutes before we go get M&G together, or, I have to get her out of bed after M&G are already up and changed. Breakfast begins. We change it up each morning between apple toast, veggie muffins, pop tarts, pancakes, cereal, and yogert. On Mondays and Tuesdays, there is no rush to get cleaned up and ready to leave; Grandma Karen arrives around 8. Other days we scramble to get hands and face washed, shoes on, coats on, toys put away, and to-go bags ready (backpacks and/or ballet bag, and diaper bag). Our goal is to be in the car ready to go by 8:15. The drop off at Grandma Nancy's is followed with dropping off Aubry at preschool at 8:55. And then I am off to work.
