Got up, nursed Sam, fed Jackson breakfast, got us all dressed, went to the gym, went to Wal-mart, raced home to get swimwear, sunscreen, towels and frozen breastmilk for Sam (forgot the breastmilk), took the boys to a birthday party (at the pool), came home, fed Jackson lunch, nursed Sam, put both boys down for a nap, re-painted the wall that my preschool girls "decorated" with crayons, helped Ben build us a loft in the playroom so we can have the reading center above the dramatic play center, nursed Sam again, cooked dinner, ate dinner, helped Ben some more, played with Jackson to keep him out of the playroom, put in Backyardigans for Jack when I had to nurse Sam again, bathed Jack, read 3 books, said prayers, put him to bed, put Sam in the swing because he was fussy and the swing always works, came to help Ben finish the loft. All this and my stomach has been sick all day! Go me!!
To Do List before kids = get all tasks done in one day
To Do List with one kid = takes 2-3 days to get all tasks done
To Do List with 2 kids = takes at least a week to get all tasks done, sometimes more
We aren't having more kids for a while! ;) But we sure love the ones we've got!
About Me
- Colleen
- Fort Worth, TX, United States
- I am a SAHM mom of 3 kids. My husband is an Emergency Medicine resident at a local county hospital.
Just Me
Colleen enjoys playing with her kids, doing any kind of crafts, reading a good novel, singing for fun and on stage, taking warm baths at night, playing soccer, working out, and cuddling up on the couch with her honey watching movies and eating super-buttery popcorn!
Doctor Ben
Ben spends his time working, working, working...or studying! When he has a minute of free time he loves to wrestle with Jackson, cuddle up with Sam, tickle-attack Ally, hunt, build something or play any type of sports with his wife.
Jackson Garit, age 5
Jackson is my sweet, considerate, intelligent, curious, and slightly hyperactive child. He will walk up and talk to anyone and can't sit quietly while I read him a story without asking me a million questions and commenting all the way through. I love his zest for life and eagerness to please. He is a great example for his little brother.
Samson Jay, 3.5 years
Samson lets nothing hold him back. It's as if he is on a mission to prove that he should have been the first child. He is stubborn, but silly, persistent, but sweet. He is my little snuggle-bear!
Allyson Anne, age 12 mos
Ally is such an easy baby. She is just pretty easy-going most of the time. She loves tickling games or playing hide-and-seek. She just started walking, but usually only takes up to 6 or 7 steps at a time before deciding that crawling is faster. She is VERY curious.
