Week in the Life 2017 (Tuesday)

Davy and I take a coffee break while working on cookie dough in the cookie dough factory. She's been such a faithful sidekick.

I spend time during home school getting the boys' paperwork filled out for school next year. It feels like huge decisions and I don't know what the right one is. They could stay home and school 100%. They could go to charter school 4 days per week. They could do half and half. We are behind in math for Samuel, so need to catch him up with that.

5:30-6:30 p.m. Tball practice. Samuel helps to coach Boss' team.

This is usually the response I get when I ask Boss to clean up his oatmeal disaster. Some sort of hiding/writhing.

The boys took the camera upstairs for awhile and played with stuffed animals.

Dishes. Always dishes.

I delivered to Grant Park this morning and got to take home these treats for the kids. They inhaled them after breakfast.

The kids played while Davy and I worked cookie dough.

Jude in his element - building Legos.

Jude and I prep for his birthday by thawing meat.

Jude spends part of home school time writing Jim a thank you note for his birthday gift (a massive Lego set).

This is how much Jude likes his picture taken.

Freshly showered after hot yoga, kids tucked in, I zone out on my iPad - usually checking Instagram or Pinterest. Tonight I continue on to edit photos and post to my blog for Week in the Life.

At Boss' practice, I sneak a few pages of "We Were the Lucky Ones" and am loving every moment! Photo courtesy of Sis.

At 5 a.m., I head out on a run to meet Mona. We run together for about 45 minutes. I continue to run until I get at least 6 miles. Training for Hood to Coast has been time intensive.

Samuel teaches Sis math.

Sis has me do bubbles with her - I blow them, she chases them, for about half of baseball practice.

Here she is, reading her butterfly book to me while sitting on the bathroom counter. Samuel is in the shower. We have the Moana Pandora station playing in the background. I apply makeup.

Tuck in time. I pray with the three boys. Samuel hides his face since he has his head gear on. Boss takes turns sleeping in Sis' room and the boys room - alternating every other  night. I'm a sweaty mess from hot yoga.

Nigh time prayers with Sis for bedtime.
