Day in the Life: July 21st

7:00 Lots of fun with RC cars this year--and lots of good practice with screwdrivers and charging batteries!

8:00 Workout time

9:00 Two bikes (and two scooters) are MIA because...

10:00 They went off to the park! (Of note, because I'm proud of myself--I let the older three go the mile-ish by themselves an hour or so before Matthew was ready to go join them)

11:00 Loving games from the library--Ticket to Ride for the younger two (plus Mom) and Scout for the older two

12:00 Made a run to get a special breakfast for tomorrow because...

1:00 We're headed to the lake for a church event that we are hosting tonight

2:00 No picture during the drive to the lake since I was the one driving

3:00 Water is a little choppy, but the sun is out and ready for a great evening!

4:00 Getting some food ready

5:00 Getting the activities ready

6:00 Kids are here and fed

7:00 and 8:00 No pictures because we were too busy taking kids tubing behind the jet ski and generally causing mayhem with a crew of middle school and high school youth

9:00 Cleaning up before bed

10:00 Wrapping up a few things once the kids are in bed

11:00 That's a wrap on the night!

1:00 Rose and chill

2:00 Why yes, I'd love to play catch with my teenager

3:00 Time to pack up

5:00 And of course, straight to a show (after they helped unload the car)

8:00 Filing away a few school papers

1:00 Lunch!

2:00 Groceries
