a day

I thought it would be fun to look back someday at what my days consist of through these years of my babies being babies. I KNOW I will miss them someday and I really just want to capture as many moments I can.
So this first list is what I generally do/wanted to get done the other day.
  • change diapers
  • breakfast
  • organize room
  • plan primary music time
  • The Firm workout
  • vacuum
  • nap time
  • remove nail polish
This list is actually how my day went down. A lot more exciting than I could ever plan!
  • 7:24 AM all awake
  • Downstairs with dad
  • Bottle for Gwinna
  • Cinnamon toast crunch for mom 
  • Take a few things OUT of Noelle's mouth
  • Change diapers ... finally! (oops its 9:30)
  • Back upstairs, attempt to plan primary while organizing
  • Gwinna sees bubbles
  • 1/2 hour of bubble blowing  (BIG smiles from both babies!)
  • Downstairs - eggs and tomatoes ("potatoes") for Gwinnas breakfast.
  • Yell at Gwinna to not touch the eggs while I'm making them
  • Surprised by multiple door bell rings (Tia Deolinda bringing us milk & sugar)
  • I'm embarrassed (note to self: stop yelling at Gwinna)
  • Feed Noelle while Gwinna eats in her high chair
  • Freak out when Gwinna starts throwing food on the ground?!?! (new development)
  • TRY to remind myself of my note to self ^^^ 
  • Run upstairs with Noelle to finish feeding her as she falls asleep
  • Back down to clean Gwinna's mess
  • A lot of whisper yelling...doesn't count right?!
  • The FIRM workout. 
  • Throughout it Gwinna tries to ride me, plays peekaboo when I'm doing push ups and asks for shoes ;)
  • Almost the whole workout done when Noelle wakes up
  • Put her down to play while I finish with abs
  • Lovely husband calls around 11:40 to brag that he's eating at a Thai place without me :(
  • I'm trying to swat flies, hold Noelle and tell Gwinna to stop touching the blinds and to sit down on the couch.
  • Short conversation
  • Cut apple for Gwinna
  • She eats while I watch the first two minutes of a recorded movie that I have been wanting to watch
  • Back upstairs to actually organize closets and plan songs for primary.  Done!
  • Downstairs to relax on the couch, take some pictures of Noelle for canvas for Tia Stephanie
  • Pretend I am Jim Carey on the outtakes of Liar Liar with a piece of plastic making "a goose!"
  • This turns out to be hilarious to both of my girlfriends so I repeat a million times!
  • Love today:)
  • Gwinna wants a princess dress after seeing a commercial beginning Sesame Street so we go back upstairs because hey I need to vacuum anyway! 
  • Muscle through vacuuming with Noelle in my arms (she is still too scared of the noise)
  • Nap time. YES!!!
  • Time is 1:45 
  • Babies out by 1:53
The rest of the day is quite a bit less eventful and so great because I was able to make pumpkin bread for Janice and dinner for my family!

WOW. It is exhausting just writing this but the truth is I love my life.  I LOVE my babies and I really have nothing to complain about.  Especially since a lot of the time it is just me exhausting ME because Gwinna wants a princess dress so I run and get it;) I know, I know I am not helping with that entitlement problem.  A couple posts back though...I do take her toys and pare down quite often. 
 
A few more things to note about life right now:

Noelle is sleeping in our bed at night  (I love being able to breastfeed!)
Gwinna in this moment is asking "what a doing?"  This phrase is her favorite lately & it is really cute.
