Day in the Life: December 21st

Oof. That's a late wake up time. Here's to doing better than that in the new year

7:00 Nothing like waiting until the last day of school before winter break to get teacher gifts delivered

8:00 Checking my library account because this time of year is always a constant battle of wanting to request more books than I have room to check out on my card

9:00 At our Old Courthouse Museum for a story time and craft (the history here is so cool and I love that they do monthly kids activities!)

10:00 Oh hi principal gifts that weren't ready to send to school with the boys this morning

11:00 No clue if Matthew is washing his hands or cleaning the bathroom sink/counter. It's honestly a 50/50 guess

12:00 Dropping off the last minute staff gifts before getting Matthew down for nap

1:00 So many leftover choices for lunch! (aka blessed to have a fridge that looks like this)

2:00 Trying to minimize our evening tasks by getting the dishwasher loaded during nap time

3:00 Love the house I grew up in, and love even more dropping the boys there for an overnight with Grandma and Grandpa!

4:00 Getting the house tidied up before Darrell gets home from work (and peep the dog kennel--yay for dog sitting again!)

5:00 Look at us heading out for a date night (and look how light of coats we are wearing for December in South Dakota!)

6:00 First stop: our favorite local pizza joint (lots of love to Sunny's Pizzeria!)

7:00 Second stop: a favorite local brewery for Beer and Carols with some friends from our pre-kids life!

8:00 Third stop: grocery store because #parentlife

9:00 Time for one of my favorite nights of the holiday season: wrapping presents and watching "The Holiday"

10:00 Presents are wrapped, mess is cleaned up, all that's left is enjoying our last few kid-free hours before picking them up in the morning!
