A Day In The Life...

My day started out with a cozy Tyler climbing in bed with me. (o.k., that was really my 2nd wake up call for today since I hopped back in bed after getting Justin out the door to catch the school bus. Tyler was still asleep and I couldn't resist!) He loves to hang out in our bed throughout the day and brings toys and books for entertainment. Here's a look at what is waiting for me tonight when we go to bed. Travis often gets bonked in the head with an airplane or zoo animal when he lays down on his pillow at night. Surprise!



Tyler and I went to feed the ducks this morning at our favorite library. We met several other moms and kids from our ward and had a good visit. I am in charge of planning mid-week activities for Relief Society. This was one of them. I am trying to come up with some other activity ideas for stay-at-home moms. So, if your ward has had any mid-weeks you have enjoyed, please pass it on.



Today was a project day. I love a guy who can build something...



And a little guy who tries to help...(and the mom who gets TRY to clean up those styrofoam crumbs for the rest of the afternoon!)



And here's something I love to see:



A sleeping boy at 10 p.m. surrounded by his work-of-art train track. Justin and Tyler are planning to meet at the tracks first thing in the morning. That makes me happy!

Now I get to watch Rachael Ray and blog while I wait for Travis to get home from playing basketball.

January was my first month to plan midweek activities. We did a playgroup that will rotate each week, cooking class, book club, kickboxing class and feeding the ducks this week. So far, so good. Once the weather warms up I would like to plan more daytime outings to the coast or into Portland. What have your wards been doing?

I'm so sad I spaced it on the park. Isaac would have loved it! Glad you had a good time.

I find toys in my bed too! Funny! I have to say that Travis looks so skinny! Maybe all those sports huh?
