THE DAY IN THE LIFE OF.....!!!!!

Lacey wrote such a fun blog about how her day goes! Emily, Zachary & Elyse wanted me to do the same. It won't be as much fun as Lacey's was, but you can see how much we do in a day. If you are like us, after reading it, you will be exhausted.

6:30 – alarm goes off for me only, get up, shower, have devotions

7:00 – check emails, blogs and weather

7:50 – wake up kids

8:00 – start school while waiting for Dan & Emily to get up for breakfast. School at Emily's house is in the spare bedroom. Zachary sleeps on the floor, Elyse sleeps in the twin bed. In the morning, we have to put Zachary's make-shift bed on top of Elyse's bed in order to have room for the school table.

8:30 – breakfast, clean kitchen (here's our lovely crew with our mouths full - we are eating yummy banana bread)

8:50 – brush teeth, comb hair, get coats on

9:00 – drive Emily to work (one hour away)

10:00 – drop Emily at work, head to grocery store

10:45 – arrive at grocery store

11:15 – head back to Grand Haven

11:45 – arrive at Grand Haven, unpack groceries

12:00 – finish school (Elyse likes to read her Bible on top of both beds - it is a real balancing act).

While Emily & Dan are at work, we take care of George. George likes to do school with Zachary.

That is George's favorite soccer ball. We are tempted to throw it away, he has learned to squeak it and it is very annoying (thanks Titus and Rogue).

12:30 – pack for weekend in Vernon Hills.

Even George takes in a reading lesson or two.

1:00 – make lunch, clean kitchen again

1:30 – check email

2:00 – run to Walmart (to get things Meijer’s didn’t have)

3:30 – go get Emily at therapy

4:30 – arrive in Grand Haven, make dinner

6:00 – eat dinner, clean kitchen again

7:00 – relax, read, play table games

9:30 – get ready for bed, read for awhile until I fall asleep

Now wasn't that boring? At least you can see how much driving we have to do each day. Thankfully, Emily got Dan, Luke and friends to do some of the driving. Or there would be more driving instead of getting other things done. Thanks to Luke, Dan and Deb for helping with the driving.

And finally, our new living room! We have a new couch, loveseat, two end tables, two lamps and two pillows. Do you like it?

Zachary, Elyse and I are home for the weekend. We have LOTS of sorting and putting things away. We are THRILLED our new couch and loveseat has arrived. The living room shrunk while we were gone (lol).

We will be at Emily's until the 19th. I won't be updating another "day in the life of" so you won't have to be bored again. Thanks for reading!
