6:10 Wake upgasp at the clock…the kids slept in!

I wonder when that happened last?

I rouse my husband and we quickly get ready for the day.

A Day in the Life of Another Mom

By 6:30 everyone is up and we head out the door.

Three years ago my husband went back to school and we thought wed save money by selling our truck.

Its normally not an issue, but we needed the car today for swim.

So, we drop him off at the bus stop.

My oldest makes a poster about whale sharks.

The boys dump out three toy bins looking for the perfect tool, (lol)!

Suddenly, I hear a scream.

There is a HUGE mess here, and I know who did it!

I see to it I am not laughing when I meet my daughter by the craft table.

I know who did it too…well get it all when we clean up.

I have a fabulous cleaning playlist on YouTube.

Even the 2-year olds help.10:00 Baby wakes up.

Oops…snacks were about to start.

Everyone waits very nicely while I bring the baby to join us.10:05 Snacks and Phonics.

Apples, fish crackers, and water.

And phonics on a whiteboard.

The kids really enjoy their little daily dose ofphonics,even though its targeted at my daughter.

My daughter tells us that whalesharks have 3,000 teeth but dont use any of them.

The kids finish snack talking about sharks and fish.10:20 We go outside!

I only cringe a little bit at the slugs, and mark the ant nest to kill later.

We water our garden.

The two-year old girl informs me there is poop in her panties.

I actually laugh out loud.

She uses the bathroom and we return outside.

I grab a small handful M&Ms for the stress.

11:00 I debate going inside for school time and centers or staying outside.

The weather is too perfect.

Two of my kids pull the eggs off their sandwich.

I get on the computer.1:30 Baby wakes up.

She will learn about nap time, but not yet.

She eats and goes back to sleep.

I work on my next unit and a new printable.

Everyone slowly wakes up, we clean up the beds, grab some crackers, and head outside again.

Well, some things are more important than others.9:30 Watch a show with Hubby and eat ice-cream.

I hope it doesnt counteract my attempts to lose weight too much.10:30 Go to bed.

In her last life she taught high school and junior high school science.

She blogs about preschool and shares printables, lessons, science experiments, and more atPreschool Powol Packets.
