Photo Every Hour: May 21st

7:18 A sure sign it's going to be a struggle to remember to take my photos today (even with reminders): I didn't get around to actually taking my first photo until over an hour after my first reminder went off

8:00 Two boys at school and two boys hard at work playing at home (and yes, Matthew is still in his pajamas. Sometimes I just can't get everything done before drop off)

9:00 These two would live outside if they could, so we squeezed in a little play time before running a few errands

10:00 Quick pouch break in the car--two stops done, two to go!

11:00 Survived the errands and the boys are playing contentedly downstairs (a rare occurrence with just those two!). Don't mind if I enjoy a few minutes to drink my coffee in peace before starting lunch

12:00 Squeezing in a little bit more play time before starting naps

1:00 Working on some PTO stuff that I need for after school today (nothing like waiting for the last minute!)

2:00 We're celebrating my parent's 40th wedding anniversary after church on Sunday and guess who got "volunteered" to make the treats? (Also--toasting coconut in the oven is waaay faster than on the stove!)

So I completely forgot to take pictures at 3:00 and 4:00. Which is actually a shame, because I spent that time at school helping other members of the PTO sort t-shirts for the students and staff for their Fun Run/Field Day next week. I don't think I have the words to accurately describe what it looks like to sort over 700 shirts into piles for 27 different classrooms (plus a pile for staff members!)

5:00 Home and relaxing with my book-worm boys before dinner (actually, I'm pretty sure Connor is pouting about something in this picture, but that's nothing new because being three is fine)

6:00 Skyping with Grandmom and Granddad--only two weeks until we see them at the beach!!

7:00 Blueberries are a sure-fire win at snack time (and yes, William is "drinking" his out of his bowl. We're so proud)

8:00 Finishing up their last page before lights out

9:00 And the baking resumes!

10:00 Still baking.... (And because I feel the need to defend myself, it didn't take me an hour to do just two pans of scotcheroos. I was also working on some stuff for other recipes)

11:00 So. Many. Dirty. Dishes (and so many containers of treats!)

Time to crash--those dishes aren't going to wash themselves in the morning and I've still got to finish up a few of the recipes!
