wednesday

today was an average wednesday.  it was cold and cloudy and was supposed to snow all day (it didn't) so we stayed in and played and hung out and got stuff done.

i slept til almost 9 and had a bowl of cereal.  the kids slept late too.  abigail til 9:15 or 9:30 and brady til 10 maybe?  abigail didn't lie to me about going potty so that pretty much made my day.  she came downstairs dressed and i just sent her back up to go potty and wash hands... didn't even give her the opportunity to try to tell me a lie.  anyways, we read books in my bed until it was time to get brady up and it was a great start to our day.  we got brady up and the kids got a bath and we headed downstairs for oatmeal and leftover waffles... and an apple.  because they were still hungry.

after breakfast i made a batch of powder laundry detergent and cleaned up the kitchen while the kids played in the great room.  then i sat down and put my feet up for a ballet recital.  it was spectacular and involved a lot of pretty awesome twirls.  then abigail and brady started playing princesses so i went along with that game and eventually it was naptime.  we read more books, i put brady down, and i told abigail to have a nice quiet time.  brady only napped for less than an hour and a half but whatever.  i made the kids sandwiches and we were on with our afternoon.  brady and i played baseball in multiple rooms of our house.  that tee ball bat is wonderful... we have so much fun with that.  also, playing catch.  i love that.  brady is so so cute.  perfect age.  so perfect.

i cleaned up that trailing corner of mess in my room and did some random other stuff.  i feel like i'm constantly chipping away at a to do list of randomness around the house.  is this normal?!  or do other people just sit around all day and play with their kids?  i finally organized all my visiting teaching papers from the past several months and got them all put away in a binder. and i hung up abigail's calendar and thomas wheel in her closet.  finally.  i also vacuumed the upstairs.  i feel like vacuuming always takes forever.  the kids watched my little pony until dinner time, they cleaned up the great room, and we had stuffed pepper leftovers and once again, we all loved it... especially brady.  he eats so much.  we all headed up a little before 7 and bedtime went perfectly.

i did more cleaning and whatever until honey got home after 8 and then parked myself in bed to write this post right now with honey by my side watching suits.  anyone watch that?  sarah brazee from Tennessee?  it's a lawyer show.  i watched the first episode or two with him and liked it but he keeps watching without me so now i don't care so much because i've missed so much.

maybe tomorrow i'll actually wear something other than yoga pants and a hoodie and do something with my hair other than a ponytail.  ; )  but today was still pretty nice.  these kinds of days have their purpose.
