I have seen several people post about a typical day in their house and I thought it was a good idea. I’m sure one day I will look back at this and smile. Right now I’m tired :) But here goes!
6:30am- I woke up to Piper talking in her bed and asking “mommy, daddy, somebody come get me!”
6:35- took her downstairs and gave her breakfast (nutrigrain bar and water)
6:37- Iz calls out on walkie-talkie- “can somebody come carry me down so I can say good morning to Piper”. I tell her I am coming in a minute. I head upstairs to bring her down
6:39- give Izzy her breakfast (peanut butter crackers and milk), she asks me to turn on TV. Both kids yell “YAY! Dora!!”
6:45- I go check my email, facebook and read a few blogs
6:50- girls call out for me to cover them up with a blanket on the couch- they are snuggling 
7:00- make my coffee, make sure Tim is awake (we take turns sleeping in til 7), sit and watch some TV with girls
7:20- go upstairs and take a shower- girls play a board game while I get in shower
7:40- girls have abandoned game for more TV, I pick out clothes for me and the girls
8:10- back downstairs- I gather up everything for Izzy’s preschool and my Bible study
8:15- realize Piper needs to move up to the next size shoe- dig around in “extra closet” for some shoes. Find 3 that may fit- 1 ends up being too big, 1 just right and 1 a little too big. She picks the ones that were a little too big- not worth a fight so I let her wear them- she is ecstatic!
8:20- Piper has to go to timeout because she keeps kicking the wall with her “new” shoes.
8:25- load up the car with all our stuff and get the kids in the car
8:27- get out of the neighborhood when I realize I don’t know where my phone is. Turn around go back home, look around and end up calling my phone- which I find over in the arm chair where Piper had been playing.
8:40- get to school early to wait for a friend, she is going to keep Izzy in her van til school opens and she can take them in so I can go ahead to bible study
8:50- put Izzy in Kristin’s car (thanks!!) and head to church
9:05- get to church and drop off Piper in childcare
9:15- small group time for Bible study- great time with the ladies!
10:30- video for Bible study
11:30- get Piper from childcare and drive to get Izzy from preschool
11:32- talk to adoption contact about potential situation
11:55- get Izzy from preschool and head home
12:15- lunch. Izzy has chicken nuggets with ranch and Piper has a hot dog with ketchup. Both have apples and peanut butter. I make tuna salad but don’t eat too much of it….. too busy saying eat your lunch 17 times (to each kid)
12:45- girls play dress-up in Izzy’s room
12:47- I talk to Tim about potential adoption situation
12:50- Piper poops in her little potty while I am still talking to Tim
12:52- Izzy poops in potty while I am still talking to Tim
12:55- off phone with Tim- call adoption contact back
1:20- talk with Shana
1:30- play hide and seek with the girls, put back on their clothes, put them down for nap
1:49- Ahhhh silence 
Come downstairs and drink a soda, check email
2:10- go upstairs and tell Izzy to take a nap- it’s AWANA night and if she wants a date to ice cream after she has to take a nap.
2:11- email, facebook, blogs
2:35- Piper’s crying- go upstairs and soothe her and get her back to sleep. Check on Izzy- she is OUT!
2:45- sit down for quiet time
3:45- check email again and get ready for kids to wake up (usually they are up already but because they went down late they are sleeping later)
4:00- Izzy wakes up and comes downstairs, I didn’t hear her so she scares me to death! I turn on the TV for her.
4:10- Piper wakes up- give them both marshmallows for snack- light snack because dinner will be soon
4:45- put dinner in over (I prepared it yesterday)
5:00- turn off TV- paint with the girls while we listen to KLOVE
5:40- Daddy home!
6:00- Eat dinner- say take a bite 37 times :)
6:30- leave for AWANA. Tim takes Izzy and drops her off. Me and Piper go to Feeney’s for some frozen yogurt. Tim comes to meet us after he drops Izzy off.
7:30- get home and have a drawn out bedtime snuggling my girl
8:20- check email, facebook, relax…..
9:10- Izzy and Tim get home- talk with her about AWANA, Tim takes her up to put her down.
9:40- finish writing this blog post…..
