Photo Every Hour: February 21st

My first photo every hour post with four kids! And you know what that means--middle of the night feeding fun (and I actually remembered to document it!)

3:04am Of course, nursing photos are super exciting

5:39am More feeding fun...

Time to get up for the day--although let's be honest, I'm basically still awake from that last feeding session

7:00 Darrell adjusted his work schedule so he can be home longer in the mornings to help me get the boys up and fed before I have to get William to school, and let me tell you, it's been a lifesaver

8:00 My view while I feed Matthew (much more exciting than a picture of Matthew's butt, right?)

9:00 Baby cuddles and coffee--and of course the inevitable second (or sometimes third or fourth) child who is constantly all up in my space

10:00 This is how we make frosting for a birthday cake with a one-month old!

11:00 Reading time before lunch (and I swear, this is totally unstaged. Sometimes my kids are awesome)

12:00 Reading time with Mommy before naps

1:00 Lunch time!

2:00 Matthew actually took a nap at the same time his brothers were having nap time, so I celebrated with a little extra snack and a second cup of coffee

3:00 Play date at a friend's house

4:00 Snack time

5:00 Time to head home--but not before a giant green snake attacks Matthew!

6:00 Time to bake Garrett's birthday cake with my happy little helpers (or really, just one happy helper and two helpless observers--Garrett insisted that since it was his cake he got to "do it all by himself" and his brothers somewhat willing obliged)

7:00 Making an effort to clean up before snack time/bed time

8:00 Okay, I swear I didn't mean to get so many reading pictures in this post. But hey, sometimes that's just what happens, and the book nerd in me totally loves it

9:00 Time for Mama to actually make some progress on the cake without a bunch of little fingers getting in the way

Turns out Mama didn't make too much progress because she went to bed early to try to beat the stomach bug that had been going around the house (spoiler--it didn't quite work)
