Photo Every Hour: July 21st

Rise and shine!

7:00 Helpful big brother getting Matthew out of the crib for the morning

8:00 Making one last breakfast for my straggler 

9:00 Checking out a playground in the cool morning before the heat sets in!

10:00 Taking a reading break at the park as part of the library's summer reading program

11:00 Getting lunch ready--and of course already feeding the hungriest one of the bunch

12:00 Getting some play time before nap time

1:00 Doing a pretty decent job entertaining themselves peacefully during nap time so letting the mess slide (for today and quite a few other days!)

2:00 Trying to get a few more things done before the littlest wakes up

3:00 Here's the mail it never fails, when it comes I want to wail MAIL!

4:00 Also, empty boxes make for an excellent makeshift drum set

5:00 Cooking dinner and cleaning up--he's a keeper!

6:00 Dropping the older three off at VBS for two wonderfully quiet hours

7:00 Darrell making the best use of his (mostly) kid-free evenings

8:00 Time to get the crazies home for bedtime

9:00 Catching a few drinks with a friend in town from Boston 

10:00 Proof of friends (and even Darrell getting to join us thanks to Grandma the babysitter!)

This might be the first time my photo every hour post has pushed into the next day; if anything the posts have started early compliments of a nursing child, but rarely--if ever--do they get this late. Proof that we were long overdue for a night out
