Week in the life/Chaos IS my life

Well, best laid plans just didn't work for me. I am much more of a planner when it comes to doing something as grandios as a "week in the life" type stuff. SO... I will share some photos from the week that I was happy with. I will try the week in the life again in June and see how it goes. I need to get my brain around what to do.





This is my usual spot for breakfast in the AM. I have my steel cut Trader Joe's oats and read email and do facebook and such. Then I get going and do the dishes and some laundry. The kids get to watch a show while I eat so I can have some peace.

Early in the week we had some nice mornings to be outside. I caught J-man and D-man relaxing and having a quiet moment. Of course, these days, anytime I show up with a camera the boys like to pose a bit. This is one of my new favorites.

I think I will treasure this one photo for a good many years. It is D-man holding my hand while we pray before lunch. He prefers to hold a finger instead of the whole hand. Even the baby holds a finger and bows his head. I love it.

As is usual here, I missed a nice big spill by my D-man. He somehow took a header off our swing and was face down in the dirt when daddy found him. Looks pretty bad in the picture. He had a really bad bloody nose, too. His owies are almost gone now. Phew!

This is typical J-man in the morning. He is such a good self-entertainer. He was on a kick last week with these safety goggles. So cute!!!

When I was finding the boys to have lunch one day I found them playing together in the Huggies wipes box. I couldn't help but take a pic. So funny! They had a race car at the bottom of the box that was on and just making racing noises, but of course going no where! So funny!

Not a big thing, but a little game of "throw Meow" before dinner with daddy. Meow is D-man's bestest buddy!

T-man is all dressed up for his school choir concert. He's my mr. GQ for sure. I am just cringing at the thought of my clothing bill one day. He will want the designer this and that and the nice looking shirts I am almost positive. But he is so handsome.. who could say no to him?!?!

Despite the look of almost happy, he is whining and crying to get help. Daddy was just wanting to take pics of this before saving him. J-man loves to climb in here and hang for a bit, but the getting out is another story. Can't quite figure out why the head is too big for the opening yet :)

That is a good bunch of photos from a fun filled week. Now that I have that off my plate I will do smaller updates as the days go by.
