A little behind...

Yes, it is Thursday and I am just now blogging our daily schedule for Tuesday. Just a little behind :)and this week hasn't even been that busy.

Okay so Tuesday morning we woke up around 8, ate breakfast and went outside to play. It has been very nice and warm this week so we have spent a lot of time outside. Grant and I set up stations in the garage with different exercises and went around in a circle doing each station for 1 minute. It was fun and a good workout. No, I don't make my 9 year old workout, he usually makes me. He loves it because he wants to be either a NFL or NBA player one day. And he's a little small (just skinny) so he thinks if he works out he will have huge muscles. :)


After lunch I got a shower and we decided to go to the movies to see Cars 2. It was starting to storm as we were going in to the movies so I knew we had picked a good day. Payton didn't last through the whole movie. It ended up starting late so towards the end she was getting tired. It was a good movie though.

We came home and got ready for another night of Bible School. After Bible School Toby had to drive to Raleigh for a meeting on Wednesday morning. We thought about going with him but it was just going to be such a quick trip we decided to just stay home. I worried about him driving so late (he didn't leave until 8:30) but he made it okay. The kids and I stayed up way too late playing the Wii. Definitely another fun summer day!

A Day In the Life Of...

So my plan was to start this yesterday but time got away from me and I never got it finished. I got this idea from another blog that I read and I thought it sounded fun. At the end of each day I am going to blog what our schedule was for the whole day and everything that we did. Sounds exciting right? ;) I do think it will be neat to look back at what we did this summer.

For today I am going to re-live yesterday (Monday)...

I got up around 7:15 and walked for about 30 minutes then I did a 30 minute video. I am really trying hard to keep up with some kind of workout routine this summer. It takes effort because all I really want to do is sleep late and lay by the pool. :)

The kids finally got up around 8:30 and ate breakfast/played while I caught up on some laundry.

I wanted to take them to Wildcat Lake and let them play and have a picnic lunch there. They didn't seem too thrilled but we did go and had a good time. We only stayed for a couple of hours. I was so proud of Payton for getting in the lake even with all the fish swimming around her feet. I don't think I could have done it.

We got home and Payton laid down for a couple of hours while Grant played basketball outside. I admit that I layed down for about 25 minutes. That doesn't happen very often and it really felt good.

At 6:00 we went to Bible School at Poplar Grove. Toby is teaching the adult class so the whole family is going. I have really enjoyed it. It has been so nice not to worry about supper (my dream come true). Toby had a meeting at 8:00 so I got the kids home and ready for bed. Payton of course was not ready for bed after taking a 2 hour nap but she finally went to sleep around 11:15. By then I was past ready... more on our exciting week tomorrow. :)

New Territory

Okay, this is totally new (and exciting for me). I have been addicted to reading blogs for a while now, never having the desire to start my own. Lately I have seen how fast time is going by and I would love some documentation of what our lives are like right now with a nine year old and (almost) four year old. When Toby and I are old and lonely we can look back to see how crazy busy (and fun) our lives once were!
