Day in the Life: April 21st

This counts as sleeping in with four kids, right?

7:00 Good Shepard Sunday at church means lots of sheep cookies ready to be packed up for coffee hour treats

8:00 You know you have involved church parents when you are on your way out the door an hour before the service starts

9:00 And today, it's Mom's fault we had to be at church so early--adult chimes are playing AND the adult choir is singing, so lots of warm up and prep before the service!

10:00 Love our church, even empty after the service

11:00 Four boys in Sunday School plus one Darrell teaching Sunday School equals one Mom who gets to work on filing music for adult chimes during the Sunday School hour!

12:00 Lunchtime!

1:00 Since all my sheep cookies got eaten at church I was glad Darrell picked up a sugar cookie from my favorite bakery while the boys were at swim lessons on Saturday

2:00 Probably not the easiest way to load balls in the car to take to the park, but what do I know

3:00 Enjoying an afternoon at the park (while Mom and Dad take turns getting runs in on the nearby bike trails--two birds one stone!)

4:00 Headed home for dinner (also--peep how awesome our minivan is at accommodating five car seats since I'm still doing daycare for my niece during the week!)

5:00 Sous chef number four (or maybe just number three since I don't know that William has ever helped much in the kitchen) hard at work

6:00 Stir fry for the win

7:00 Oh, today hasn't been busy and crazy enough? Sure, let's do a bonfire!

8:00 Bedtime for the younger two

9:00 Worktime for Mom (gosh darn those bills that just think they need to get paid every month!)

10:00 Tired legs + Darrell = footrest. And I'd love to say we went to bed shortly after this, but I have no photographic evidence of that, and candidly, we're not super great about making responsible bedtime choices, so I'm guessing it was awhile before we actually called it a night. Oh well
