So I'm being held hostage in my girls room until they fall asleep and just saw this post on a friends blog, thanks Amanda, so to pass the time I'm totally copying it!
Here is a typical day around here:
*disclaimer: all photos not taken in the same day! But do generally represent our days.
7:30ish am: awoken by Sena Jane. I scoop her up, grab her a water & myself a coffee and we start Daniel Tiger on the couch.
8ish am: breakfast for Sena. Almost always eggs!
9ish am: The big girls arise. Scoop up. Now some Daniel tiger and dry cereal most days for them.
10ish am: Try to clean up breakfast dishes while managing all three now up and crazy!
11ish am: Get girls dressed and head out for an outing. My getting ready usually consists of washing my face, mascara, Chapstick. Glamorous I know. Don't be too jealous! And I usually take 3 minutes to do this once they are loaded in the car.
12ish pm: Typically at the park or out in the yard playing.
1ish pm: Lunch and Senas nap time.
2ish pm: Senas up. Yes you read that right. We have one napping child out of three and she never even naps 1 full hour! We take another "chill" hour and play quietly or watch tv with the lights down in the living room.
3ish pm: kids in car, mom to Starbucks.
4ish pm: Dinner prep with slightly frightening toddlers at this point in the day. Power through. Structured play. Usually playdough in high chairs or art outside.
5ish pm: Time to head outside! Trampoline, bikes, chalk! Waiting for Daddyyyyy!! Usually dinner for the kids in this hour.
6ish pm: DADDY IS HOME!!!!! We let daddy eat a quick bite then he takes over while mommy takes 5 or 10 or 20! ;)
7ish pm: start bedtime for all kiddos!
8ish pm: High Fives! We made it through another day!! Quick clean up. Lance on laundry, me on kitchen.
9ish pm: Wine, Netflix, reeeeelaxing!!
10ish pm: Lance to bed. I do my daily quiet time. Worship music and prayer time in the quiet living room. Ahhhh so peaceful.
11ish pm: bath and book.
Midnight: GOODNIGHT!

Oh my goodness- the most intimidating job to me is being a stay-at-home mom, but being a stay-at-home mom with children that don't nap for extended periods of time terrifies me! Props to you for staying sane (and having 3 cute sidekicks doesn't hurt, I'm sure) :)
I am amazed you can stay up until midnight. I just can't. I mean yes, I am up super early before the kids (on purpose) so I know why but still. . . some days I wish I could be a night owl. :) Fun peeking into your day!
