The girls and I have been home all week, and I had big plans that we would have productive days and that i'd be motivated to wake up early and shower and get them out of the house for some activities..... that hasn't happened. Not even close.
Sunday afternoon I came up with a list of things for us to accomplish every day and how we'd have fun. I've crossed off most of the items off my list, but probably not in the ideal way I expected.
Monday was reserved for house cleaning after all of the weekend fun we had.
I managed to get MC dressed, but that was about it!
The girls helped to clean the house, and I've started bribing, giving G an allowance for helping and we had leftovers for lunch.
Megan went down for a nap, and she slept for 3 1/2 hours, so I went upstairs to sew. G wanted to play "kindergarten" but when she realized her neighbor friends were outside, she decided it would be more fun to play with them in their little pools. So, she put on her bathing suit and went outside to join in on the fun.
I managed to get about 8 bibs made for a photographer in Central, Arkansas. And G ended up with a little too much sun.
For dinner, we had pepperoni grilled cheese sandwiches with fruit and peas.
I planned to get up Tuesday morning and take the girls to the aquarium, but I managed to sleep until 8:30, and knew that by the time we got up and dressed and got there, that it would be late in the morning, and it was raining, so we just decided to have a lazy morning.
Thankfully, Tinkerbell was on the Disney channel and the girls and I layed around and watched t.v.
I made the girls peanut butter roll ups for lunch with chips and fruit and then put MC down for her nap.
G and I went outside to wash off our picnic table and the wagon. I'm planning on bringing the picnic table inside so the girls can eat lunch in the living room or can color rather than them climbing on the barstools.
After we washed the toys, G played with sidewalk chalk and we practiced her letter sounds, lower case letters, had "science" class and ate popsicles.
We went back inside to rest until DJ came home, and then I took G to a splash pad while DJ hung out with Megan.
When Gretchen and I came home we made lasagna roll ups for dinner, with green beans and garlic bread.
Wednesday morning was rainy again, so I made the beds, cleaned the kitchen and worked on some laundry. Then, I took the girls upstairs to play so I could finish 10 bibs (I still have to add the velcro.) And, I started on a Sofia dress for Gretchen.
For lunch, the girls had chicken nuggets, peas, and cheese sticks.
I needed to fill some time after lunch before naps, so the girls and I made colored ice cubes.
I just put down some newspaper, and filled the ice trays with water and let the girls drop food coloring in the water. We're going to use these later for outdoor ice painting. I honestly don't know what it will look like on paper, but even if it's hot and it doesn't work out, the girls will have fun playing with the ice cubes.
I spent most of Wednesday sewing, and completed this dress for Gretchen.... well, it's almost complete. We've decided to add a flower applique to the top of the dress, so I still need to do that.
MC didn't take a long nap (about an hour and a half) and she woke up poopy and by this time both girls were wearing on my nerves. What, your kids don't get on your nerves? Yeah, mine either. So, I decided to throw on some real clothes and a little bit of makeup... which, you'd think would be an easy task, but being 8 months pregnant and getting dressed to wear you feel you look half way decent, is not an easy task.
I put some clothes on the girls and we headed out the door with no plan. Other than to return a movie and pick up eggs at Target. I didn't want to go to the park, but we just had to get out of the house. If we went to the park, I would've had to play with the girls, and the sole purpose of this outing was to give me a break! So, we went to Chick Fil A, and I bought us milkshakes and let the girls play for about an hour until I felt like myself again.
Afterwards, we headed to Target and then home for dinner- both girls were about to fall asleep in the car, so I knew we'd have an early bedtime. I skipped dinner and folded clothes instead, then gave MC a bath, and put both of them to bed by 7:15.
Then, I enjoyed several hours of quiet time until DJ came home.
