A day in the life of the Hamptons

Here is a day in the life with 3 kids:

5:00 am - alarm goes off; I hit snooze twice

5:18 am - wake up and shower.  Then I head downstairs to wash the dishes/bottles that I was too tired to wash last night. (And apparently R was too because he didn't do it either)

6:01 am - Ryan wakes up (she has her own alarm clock, which she asked for; and gets up and gets herself going - for real. All by herself).  She comes down to say hello to me then goes back upstairs to get ready.

6:15 am - I finish getting dressed then head to wake up Reagan.  Usually she gets right up but this morning she says,  "I'm not ready" and I try again.  She's not moving so I hand her off to her daddy.

6:30 am - R starts breakfast for the girls.  I finish my hair.

6:40 am - "Ryan, you have to move a little faster.  You don't even have clothes on yet.  Get out of the bathroom and go get your clothes on."

6:45 am - I go down to check on breakfast progress.

*This morning prince P slept through this all!  Usually he's up and I'm juggling him on my hip as I get everyone ready.

6:50 am - Everyone is downstairs for breakfast.  R and I switch.  He goes to get ready.

7:00 am - I'm packing lunches and checking to make sure Ryan's backpack is ready to go.

7:10 am - 5 minute warning to girls.  Clear table and get shoes on.

7:20 am - R leaves to take girls.  I stay and begin to check my email until he returns.

7:30 am - Baby awakes. Change.  Feed.  Kiss and cuddle

7:50 am - R returns.  I leave for work.  P is at home with daddy.

6 Months

We have now hit the 6 month mark as a family of 5!

My days are non-stop.  I don't sit until I hit the bed at around 10 pm.  The girls are both dancing - on 2 different nights and my little prince has my heart.

I.  could.  eat.  him.  up.

For real.










Boston

I am sitting in bed, in a hotel room in Boston.  The architecture is beautiful. I've seen brownstones, castles, and crazy driving.  I've yet to hear a true Boston accent though - maybe tomorrow.  The weather is cold.  Freezing.  

I am here for work.  A meeting to give feedback on a product we use at work.  I love my job. I am so thankful to have the career that I have.  I love teaching both children and adults.  I like inspiring others.  I enjoy the travel and most importantly the opportunity to learn new things.  

That's all.  Just want to document my little trip to Boston.

Good night.
