Life.

Well, I mentioned in my caption to my blog that this is about us building our house while we live our lives in between and so far all I have blogged is the house part and not so much about life.  Well 'life' is the reason these house posts are so far apart, 'life' is busy and gets in the way of blogging.  So here is a sample of a day in the life of the Smith's.

6:00-7:00- Kids wake up anytime in between these times.
7:00-7:30-  Daddy goes to work/ Mommy catches up on Facebook and other favorite sites/ Kids breakfast and watch TV.
8:00 (now)- Take Gracie to school (Pre-K)
8:30- (M,W,F) Home/ workout/ laundry/dishes/ story time, play time, movie with other kids.  (T, Th now) Smaller kids to Mother's Day Out.
10:30- (M, W, F) Pick up Gracie from school
11:00- Home, eat lunch
12:00- Nap time.  If workout didn't happen earlier, workout for Mommy or laundry or watch a movie, or more computer time, or nap time for Mommy too (especially if I have to work or worked the night before).
2:00-3:00- Wake up, snack, play-time or movie- time.
3:15(T, TH)- Pick up kids from Mothers Day Out
5:00- Start dinner
6:00- Daddy home, dinner
6:15- Mommy leaves for work 3 nights a week
6:30- 7:30- Clean-up, bath-time, get ready for bed time
8:00- Bed time for kiddos and relaxing time for Mommy and Daddy
10:00-11:00- Bed time for Mommy and Daddy
On nights I go to work I get home about 7:30 in the morning and our day starts over again.

Somewhere in all of that we get groceries, get shopping done, some days we go play with our play group.  This is just the things that normally happen there are a whole lot of other things that come up here and there all the time.  Now that school has started we will probably have a little bit more of a routine to our lives and I can get shopping, both grocery and house stuff done while they are at school.  Trying to find the time to get these things when all three kids are happy, not tired and not hungry is VERY difficult.  I'll attach a few pictures of 'Life'

Here is Gracie on her first day of school.  She looks so big.

All three kids getting ready to take Gracie to school on her first day.

Pretty girl!  Getting so big and that curly hair.  (yes, that is my mom back there)

What little boy doesn't fall asleep with his cap on? And a Kool-Aide mustache.

Such a mess...

She is getting so big.  What a pretty smile.

Super hero.

So there is a little view into what our busy life entails.  Hopefully it won't be so busy that I can't update this blog more.  And I will insert more 'life' into it.
