A Typical Morning

Rise and Shine! She's not normally THIS upset when I get her. I had already taken one picture and the flash made her mad... plus who likes their picture taken right when they wake up? 
Audrey used to sleep from 6:30pm to 6:30am which was amazing. She has now started waking up around this time.
Thank goodness today she fell back asleep with me 

until 

But this is not always the case, which makes for a REALLY long day.

Her favorite things to do once she is awake are pull the blinds up to look at the birds and sometimes there is a rabbit I named Penelope...
and read books. She will grab one book at a time bring it over for me to read one page, throw it on the floor and then run and get another one. EVERY MORNING

Time to pick out an outfit, I love this part!
Wake daddy up. He stays up late doing homework so he gets to sleep in a little longer
While Pete is getting ready we make breakfast
Then play with Audrey while we eat

Kiss daddy good-bye... kinda bad picture but he was running late so there was no time for re-takes
"try" to watch Baby Einstein while I take a shower and get ready. 90% of the time she ends up crying and pounding on the shower door

 Today is bathrooms....
maybe I'll just blog instead...

I love your chore chart. I had one of those when I was a "newlywed" and my neighbor made fun of me saying how that wouldn't last. It didn't, but I REALLY want to get back to it. :) I hate when the kids start waking up earlier and earlier!

Happy New Year!

 We thought we’d bring some new energy to 2021 by completely tearing our house apart and getting our carpets cleaned. The cleaners were scheduled for December 30th, so we pulled everything out of bedrooms and gave the walls and baseboards a good scrub. In order to allow the carpets time to dry we didn’t want to walk on them so we used Elliott’s points and got a hotel up in the Woodlands. We stayed at the Marriott along the waterway and it was beautiful. There ended up being a storm that night which was unfortunate because we weren’t able to walk down the waterway and enjoy the whole scene up there. We ordered Shake Shack from Uber Eats and watched Hook all snuggled up in our beds. It was a perfect evening.  Once we returned home we got to work putting bedrooms back together then later that night celebrated the new year! It’s become tradition for us to do taste tests with the kids blindfolded. We did different flavored oreo’s and ice drinks. We ordered Buffalo Wild Wings and wa...

Good Morning

Our kids don't sleep in. If they make it past 6:30 it's an extremely rare occasion. The problem with this is that Pete and I are not exactly morning folk. We make goals that say we will be in bed before 10pm, but after a week or so we are back to staying up way to late. Having Netflix is not helping either. We love watching documentaries and could watch them all night long. Every morning looks a little something like this. Our kids full of energy and ready to conquer the day, while Pete and I are wanting to kill ourselves.

December

There are a lot of words that could be used to describe 2020. Unpredictable, scary, death, political insanity, isolation, divisive, racial inequality, quarantine, masks etc. etc. It was really rough for us around June-October when we had no idea whether or not Elliott would have a job. Thankfully we were one of the lucky ones that didn't get furloughed. Financially speaking our biggest hit was that overtime was cut. We had big plans of paying off a lot of debt from law school and going on our first family trip to Disneyworld. Without that overtime we make about $2,000 less a month and it's quite a hit, but we are making it work. We canceled our Disneyworld trip and are living paycheck to paycheck but had Elliott been furloughed for an undermined amount of time I don't know what we would have done. I know there are many families in that situation and I wish we were in a position to offer some assistance instead of treading water. I feel very blessed and fortunate for where w...
