Photo Every Hour: November 21st

 Well. I logged on to get my December Photo-Every-Hour post up, thinking I was doing pretty well and not too terribly far behind (especially considering all the holiday craziness and whatnot), only to realize I never actually did my November post. Whoops. The good news is I take the pictures regardless, so I have those, but let's see how well I actually remember what happened that day based on a handful of pictures...

6:33 Rise and shine and breakfast time... And apparently we had beer in our upstairs fridge instead of downstairs where it usually is??

7:00 I can't think of the last time the older two were ready for school by 7:00 and able to watch YouTube before we had to leave... But apparently they used to be faster in the morning than they have been lately

8:00 Connor has a nerf gun and Matthew has one of Garrett's stuffed puppies... I don't know what kind of game was going on and I'm not sure if I should be concerned

9:00 My little garbage helper before we head out for a few errands!

10:00 We may be leaving in a few days for our Thanksgiving trip, but these darn boys are still going to eat a ton of food during that time, so grocery store it is

11:00 I'm pretty sure I will forever be cutting fingernails with YouTube as a distraction

12:00 Trying to get my name on the list early for a handful of Christmas books from the library while Matthew obsessively colors with Sharpies

1:00 This kid still loves playing games during nap time, but fortunately we have mixed it up a little bit and no longer play Chutes and Ladders EVERY.DAY.

2:00 Trying to get a jump start on packing before we leave in two days!

3:00 Snacks

4:00 Can't pack without ALLLL the clean laundry

5:00 As if packing for our Thanksgiving trip wasn't enough, we're packed up to bring dinner to my parent's house to watch...

6:00 The World Cup!

7:00 Hoping the US can score a late goal and break this stalemate! (Spoiler--they don't)

8:00 So.Much.Laundry

9:00 Taking a brain (or perhaps, brain-less, since "Clueless" is on in the background) break while Darrell is at a meeting

10:00 Laundry has either been put away or packed for the trip--and apparently Darrell prioritized making sure he'd have a place to sleep with no regard to where I'd be sleeping

Not a bad bedtime for a rather busy and productive evening (although as I recall, the following night was markedly later, because no matter how ahead of the game I feel when it comes to packing for trips it always seems like there are a million things to do at the last minute)
