A Week in the Life- THURSDAY!

Since the girls got to bed a little late last night (around 8), Grace slept in a little bit today. Madilyn crawled in bed with me and we snuggled and watched Lady and the Tramp together while we waited for G to wake up.

We also did a bit of laundry. She's a very good helper!

When Grace gets up, Madi always wants to be first to her room to say good morning. It's adorable :)

Can't go downstairs without her puppy and "kiki" (blanket).

MMM, breakfast time! Waffles today.

After breakfast, it was out the door and off to school. No traffic today. What a nice treat!

One the way back home we stopped at the grocery for a come yogurt and coffee (essentials, right?).

We also picked up a movie. I had a free rental code- hooray!

Then we scurried home to watch our neighbor Charlie so his mom could go to the dentist. I think we got the better end of the deal! They both insisted on a snack before playing today.

While they ate, I tossed dinner in the crockpot. I love the crockpot and try to use it anytime I can!!

And then I started to clean the kitchen. Whew, what a mess.

And emptied the dishwasher. (Bored with the housework yet??)

After snack, Charlie and Grace did a little cooking of their own.

I noticed the floors needed some TLC, so I vacuumed. 

The kids played some more :)

Once Charlie went home, Grace curled up next to me on the couch. She enjoyed a peanut butter sandwich, banana, and cup of milk while we watched the backyardigans.

Naptime! I finally wrapped the first present today. Then made progress on some more!

A little after 5pm, and Grace still looked like this:

Poor sleepy babe. I woke her so we could get Madilyn. I can't remember the last time she was so quiet.

The girls had some snacks in the car on the way home from school. They sure love some munchies :)

Dinner was crazy tonight- so no pictures. Both girls were really wound up! Is there a full moon I don't know about?

I tucked this sweet girl into bed.

The moved on to Madilyn's room. (Natalie, I took this to let you know you're not alone. Madi creates a disaster zone in here room, too!)

We read her nightly advent story, said our prayers, sang songs, and Madi got a back rub. Out!

I'm tired. How about you?!?
