Photo Every Hour: July 21st

Real life: I had been up at 345 this morning feeding Matthew, and when my alarm went off at six it took me awhile to register what was going on because it woke me up at a weird point in my sleep cycle. Checking my phone made me remember to snag a screenshot for my "Photo Every Hour" post, and then I promptly turned off my alarm and went back to bed

Getting up for real this time

7:00 Happy boy after some morning milk!

8:00 Watching their morning show

9:00 Trying to get back into the routine of running errands with the boys. On the agenda today: drive-thru photo pick up, car wash, and....

10:00 Picking up the books we requested from the library. Which we immediately sat down and read

11:00 And which we were still reading an hour later. Can you guess how glad we all are that the libraries have reopened at least some of their services?!?

12:00 Nap time for this silly boy!

1:00 Showing off his sitting skills

2:00 And when he's not sitting, he is desperate to work on his standing skills!

3:00 Taking some time to myself after FINALLY getting the littlest down for a nap

4:00 Getting ready to play Zingo with my favorite five-year old

5:00 What it takes to get laundry done some days (and yes, that is a beer on the dresser. I think #laundrybeer might start making a regular appearance in this house...)

6:00 Cleaning up the dinner mess

7:00 Slicing into a perfectly ripe peach for snack time

8:00 Bedtime gets a little late--and a little silly--when Mommy has to put the youngest three to bed by herself because Daddy is at William's baseball game

9:00 Menu planning. Again. I feel like I do this as often as I do laundry (Spoiler: It's true. I do.)

10:00 One of my friends who has a daughter William's age shared this post on Facebook. It spurred a whole big long conversation which was ultimately good, but equally saddening at the prospect of what school will look like in a month

Trying to get better about making smart choices and going to bed earlier (it helps that Darrell has started running in the morning so he's less inclined to be night owl. Now if only I could get on that exercise train....)
