a Friday day in the life..

Sept 21,
7 am Get crackin' missed the treadmill. The fire alarm went off in the middle of the night and it was a big ordeal to get the ladder and shut that thing up!
7:30 run carpool to the Jr High, oh, don't forget it's the Homecoming Parade for the High School
8:30 breakfast is done and we're out the door, on time, with both boys! Mom threatened to pick them up and physically carry them out to the car in whatever state they where in at 8:30. It worked, this time.
8:45, Get my mormon coffee, head to my Mapleton Preschool
stop to see if my Mom wants to go walking or not. It was a not.
9-11:45 Preschool, and it is soo cute. I love this class. I love my life.
12-1:30 lunch with my Mom, Cracker Barrell, run her errands, stop at Sam's Club for ribs etc.
1:45-2, get the twins out of school and hurry to Main Street for the Homecoming Parade. It lasted 15 minutes this year instead of 10. So fun. Get DJ from Jr high, he thought he couldn't miss school to go to the parade with us. But, But, it's our family tradition! No, he says. He's got to stay in school. fine.
One other tradition that we have at our house is that once a year we invite the kids teachers over for dinner and the kids pick the menu. Jackson wanted bbq ribs, Dj wanted cheese stick rolls and Ben wanted Choco chip cookies. So..
3-6 we clean and prepare dinner for Ms. Miley and Ms. K. Thomas. The boys were sooo cute to help out and clean and putter. I like my kids.
6:30-9pm we eat a fabulous dinner, relax and talk and once again, we're glad we do this.
9pm DJ has Dellon come over for the sleep over, I get the kitchen cleaned up and the dishwasher is going, I stop to watch a little news,
10:30 make Sam a very happy man, or, visa versa, watch Everybody loves Raymond and fall asleep by 11:30
