Andy left early this morning to go fishing for the day. Garen was up at 7am and we had breakfast and got ready for the day. We left the house about 9:30 to take Maddie to gymnastics.
This is an older picture, I didn't take my camera today. Maddie is loving gymnastics and getting better every time. She loves her one-on-one time with her coach.
Me and Garen did a little shopping while Maddie was at gymnastics. We picked her up at 11:00, visited some old friends, then dropped Maddie off at her friend's house. I got home just in time to lay Garen down for a nap before my sister-in-law came to drop of her baby...Levi.
It was so fun to have Levi for a couple hours. I forget what it's like to have a newborn in the house (he is 5 weeks old). Amber (SIL) came to pick him up a few minutes before I had to leave again to pick up Maddie from preschool.
Maddie on the outside playground of her preschool. Notice she is not wearing shoes-she is never wearing shoes.
When we got home we squeezed in a snack and then on to play time.
Garen and I got a little one-on-one time while Maddie played outside-it's nice to have these moments since they don't happen very often. Then 3 of Maddie's friends came over for a few hours to play.
They were making sweet music (okay loud music)
of course they played being mommy-cooking and cleaning
A tea party was next. Poor Garen, the only boy among 5 girls.
next was doctor play-this is Maddie holding her sick puppy. (notice how clean Maddie's room is in the picture :0)
on to the Little People village.
Maddie's friends left about 6:30, we ate dinner then went on a little walk.

Maddie stopping to climb the fire hydrant-as long as she doesn't pee on it.
Me and Kelsey on our walk with the kids. It is so nice to have such a wonderful friend right next door.
When we got home it was time to have baths, brush teeth, get pj's on, scriptures, prayers, songs, and read stories.

Then finally the kids are all tucked in, so I can start cleaning up the spilled food, the hundreds of toys, the dishes, and the laundry.-Just another day.
Good Night

Em that was such a cute post! I love seeing what you do everyday, and seeing how you cope with two children since I will be there someday soon! Looking at those pictures of Maddi reminded me of when you and I would play like that when we were younger...member the club house? How fun! Your kids are to precious for words!
You did all that in one day? That made me exhausted just reading about it! :)
Carrol-cope with two children soon??? Is there something you aren't announcing yet? LOL
Okay, I left off a letter in a word so I will resubmit my comment. You make these long days look so worthwhile. That is what motherhood is all about--love and interaction and consistancy. It all adds to the eternal scheme of things. That is what is really going to count at the end of the day. We have a great generation of young mothers!
