Randi, at I have to say..., hosts 'Let's Get Real Monday'. This week's theme is called 'One Day'. We were to pick a day and show in pictures and/or tell in words what one of our days looks like. I read about it on Friday night so I had to choose between Saturday and Sunday. I chose Sunday.
I don't have any pictures of the first part of our morning. Church starts at 9:00 so we left the house at 8:40. By the time everyone showered, got dressed and ate a quick breakfast it was time to go. After church we made a stop at the grocery store and I ran in and picked up milk and the sale items I wanted from that store for the week. Most Sundays we do brunch at our house. Scott requested pancakes yesterday. Here are a couple pictures of the kids helping me prepare them. Elle's whipping the egg whites and they both sliced the strawberries after I washed them.


Here is Thomas helping me by drying the dishes. Thomas and Elle both help me with this job and I love it!
These were the pancakes and they were yummy! Especially with that cup of coffee with a little Blueberry Cobbler coffee creamer in it!
After brunch I finished tidying up the kitchen, spent some time online reading blogs and then when Ava laid down for her nap so did I. After an hour and a half we woke up and she had her bottle and a snack.
I really slacked off exercising last week so I told Scott I was going to get back on track this week. So I went outside and jumped rope for awhile and then ran 4.5 miles on the eliptical runner.
After exercising I showered and decided to give my feet a little pedicure since it is sandal season now. I painted my toenails red, like I pretty much always do, and also decided to put a creamy pink color on my fingernails all while watching America's Funniest Home Videos. The kids and I get a kick out of that show!
This is dinner! Scott grilled BBQ chicken and we boiled some corn on the cob. It was delicious!
After dinner and the kids were in bed, Scott and I watched 2 episodes of 24 that we hadn't had time to in the past couple weeks. I knitted some more on the girl's dresses while watching. I haven't worked on them for awhile. My goal is to have them done by the end of this month...so they can actually wear them this summer!
Well, that is my Sunday. Sometime I will post a week day and show you my mountain of laundry and my floors in need of sweeping and mopping. :) Life here isn't always like this Sunday but it sure is nice to have relaxing, easy-going days like this now and then!
