Minute by minute- A day in the life.... ~* LONG *~







The alarm sounds at 6:30am, OK its not really an alarm but Noah jabbering and wiggling around ready to start his day. I try to turn on the TV so I can get a few more minutes of sleep but it usually doesn't work as Noah isn't much of a TV fan, nor am I, especially when I'm trying to sleep. :o) So we roll out of bed, and Noah goes into sisters (Sky's) room with the vacuum extension and bonks her a couple times, shes awake! Sky and Noah play around in Skys room until its time to get ready for school~ We go downstairs to eat breakfast, Noah and mom eat out on the front porch (while sister slurps her banana smoothie around the house) even though its freezing out and about to rain but Noah loves to be outside so much that in order to get him to eat a GOOD breakfast, we sometimes eat outside ( or on other days in the car lol) After getting all ready we head out the door to walk Sky to school (which is good motivation to exercise!) Sky used to be excited about walking everyday but now shes not so gungho about it anymore and usually fights me about it;o/ We tell Sky our good byes and head back home. We jump in the car and head for the library. We've never really ventured out in the mornings, but since Noah goes down for his nap a little later now we've decided to start a new routine. We get to the library and its closed so we check out the town looking for potential places to move... (didn't find anything) Back to the library 1/2 hour later to pick out some books and play for a while. Noah was a bit scared to play with any of the toys because there were other little kids around, but he helped me pick out books and played on the computer a bit...After the library we then head to Fred Meyer for a snack, a blueberry muffin... I let Noah run around the store as I'm trying to shop, he manages to knock over a glass beer bottle which then breaks all over the floor ( strangely nothing was in it! someone must have drank it and sat it back down) Noah falls asleep on the way home and sleeps until 1pm when mom goes up and we read all our new library books, although Noah only likes the ones that have to do with trucks, especially "rigs and diggers" he talks over my reading,usually saying digger" digger" "big truck, big truck".... Down to eat lunch, this time in the high chair!( a new thing for us) Noah eats some chicken and almost a cup of green beans! WOW! Im suprised that he even ate :)
Time to head outside again, we take Noah's push toy/ big wheel thing and drive around the neighborhood loudly and then over to the park... Now Noah wants to push mom on the big wheel *grins* weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.. Noah gets a great laugh out of it.... I'm sure all the neighbors in the surrounding houses get a good laugh too~ When I get off he tried to get me back on, but Id had enough :) We then walk/big wheel around the trail and back to the park to play... Through the tubes, climbing the rocks walls, etc... By now its a little past three and time to go get sis. We walk to get sis and stop at another park on the way (where we meet her sometimes) Going home Noah wants to hold sis' hand while he rides in the stroller, he really adores her sometimes :)...Back home for a snack (fruit roll up)..Sis runs to play with her friend and me and Noah go back out to the park ( yep 3 times in a day). The little boys want to play with Noah, but he wants nothing to do with them ( again scared/shy).. After about 1/2 hour it starts to rain and everyone goes home, but Noah doesn't care, he wants to run around and play with sis on the playground... (She just met up with us). Now I decide its time to head home as its time for dinner. Noah wants to crawl on the ground like a dog. ( remember its all wet out) So I let him crawl half way home lol and of course he gets filthy... Hes a crack up.. Home for dinner, organic Macaroni and cheese, broccoli, green beans, pizza with spinach and mushrooms, Noah eats it all~ Sis eats mac and cheese and green beans :) Sky plops in front of the TV and Noah plays with daddy for a while then its time for bath and bed.. Dad reads Noah some books and Mommy lays Noah down and hes asleep by 8:15, and sis is on her way to bed shortly... :) Dads now working and talking to his friend...( dont think hes getting as much done as he had hoped)Excitement???? :o) Here are some pics of us at the end of the day... Notice my bird hair~hehe Tomorrow we are going to try out "The Little Gym"....
