A day in the life of the munchkins...

You may wonder what a day in the life of the munchkins entails... 

6am Wake Up! They are incredibly reliable alarm clocks, rarely missing 6am by more than 15 minutes (except for the rare 4am wake-up day - Argh!

6am-6:30am - snuggles on the couch, nursing and lovey-dovey time (Mommy's favorite part of the day!)

6:45 - On a good day I package the two of them in the stroller and head out for a run with Miles too!  We run down to the pier and back.  On a "bad" day we start breakfast and read the paper together while eating breakfast. 

8:00am - if it's a work day we're off and running!  Ian to school, Brendan to Tiff's house and Stephen and I to work.  If it's a weekend - we relax.  Puzzles, games, fort building, dancing to music, playing out in the yard....  Usually we also get a morning walk in if we didn't run. 

12:00 - Pick-up from school/Tiff's and home for lunch. 

1:00pm - Nap time!  Mommy's second favorite part of the day.  Brendan still takes a short morning nap but we all reliably can be found sound asleep in bed for at least an hour (and usually two or three hours!) in the early afternoon.  

4:00pm - more fun!  

6:00pm - Family Dinner.  We try hard to make sure that we all eat dinner together almost every night.  Now that Brendan can sit in his highchair seat it's fun having us all around the table.  Ian usually tells us about his day at school while Brendan flings cheerios to Miles.  

6:30pm Tubby Time!  Oh how I love tubby time.  Stephen and I often sit on the floor outside of the bathroom with a glass of wine or cider and share our days with each other while the boys take their baths.  

7:00pm - Books or, on a special night (which is most nights), a MOVIE!  

7:30pm Bedtime for the Munchkins and a chance for Mommy and Daddy to unwind.
