Holly: Week in the Life Day 4 - Photos and Words

On the weekend, Dave usually makes a batch of chocolate chip pancakes which are then stashed in groups of three in the freezer. Audrey almost always picks pancakes for breakfast.

Drew and Kendall picked cereal. These days we have three regulars. Oatmeal Squares, Honey Nut Cheerios and Frosted Mini Wheats.

I really want that shower this morning. Let's see if I can be done in 5 minutes!

Go go go! I typically choose sleep in the morning over showers, and today was no exception. I got up at 7am like most days. Not really time to get a shower, but I'm desperate.

8 minutes! Not bad. But no time for hair, so....

A wet braid will do since I don't have time to dry and flat iron it.

Audrey's least favorite morning task. Getting her hair brushed. I'm removing yesterday's braid and putting it in a fresh pony tail today.

And we are out the door! Ready to cross the street with the masses just in time for Audrey to make it. Kendall goes in a little bit after Audrey at the preschool doors.

Drew and I had to stop off at Jewel for a few sandwich fixing items for our next task. While I was there, I got a halogen bulb to replace the one that went out in the kitchen and dishwasher soap (only 2 pellets left!)

Our Jewel is under renovation right now. So finding the cucumbers and tomatoes was a new challenge since nothing is where it typically sits. But we found them, and were on our way. "C" (who I was meeting up with) spent an hour this morning already running around to the other groceries stores for fresh lettuce.

I was going to treat myself to a coffee from Cafe Tola, but then "C" replied (when I asked if anyone else wanted something) that she had iced Starbucks. Bingo!

So Drew and I headed over to C's house. It was foggy and damp this morning but the air smelled fresh and felt crisp.

C has a beautiful single family home in our neighborhood. We are here!

I stopped to admire her flowers before ringing the bell.

Got to chopping right away! Serrated knife for the tricky tomatoes.

Tonja, Amy and I came over to help C put sandwiches together for Teacher Appreciation Week. Today was the luncheon. Amy's putting on the hummus.

Then, we added cucumber and tomato for this veggie sandwich.

C's sitter was there, but Will wasn't having it. He needed his mama within eyesight. Drew understood exactly.

We also put together BLTs and Coronation Chicken Salad sandwiches. Here they are, seran wrapped and ready to go.

On our way to go pick up Kendall, we had a little time to pick up a few more items from Jewel to bring home. Marshmallows were one of the necessities... Drew managed to put a hole smack dab in the middle of the bag to extract one of these delicacies. Lol.

Back at home, I'm finally unloading the dishwasher and reloading with the dishes from breakfast. One of those daily mundane items.

What a treat! For lunch, I'm making a coronation chicken salad sandwich left over from this morning. It is delish!

Oh Drew. Pantless and no pillows on the couch. This happens almost daily.

I have to remember to water these Dollar Spot Target plants. We have sunflowers and cosmos. The odds are not good for them. We seem to loose interest after they first sprout...

Fell asleep at 2:00 again! But today we do not pick up Audrey until 4:15pm because she has Girl Power Yoga at school.

Sending off next week's blog post to Sara Mitchell of The Studio 29 Designs. I design Project Life layouts using her Take 10 Kits on her Creative Team. So fun. I love it. It has really helped me better my scrapping skillz!

And anytime I try to spend time on my laptop or doing basically anything, this happens. Drew gets into things. He likes to empty my coffee container. Oh, and there is a half eaten piece of bread.

Girl Power Yoga was offered in the after school programs and we were able to get a spot this session!

After we picked up Audrey, we headed to the Blaine playground (the big one) for little bit.

Making tortellini for dinner and a salad.

Kendall likes the Tom's Strawberry toothpaste! Brush-a Brush-a Brush-a!

Tonight, Kendall read to me. He tried to read this one to me last night, but his little brother wanted the book so badly that we couldn't do it. "Not a Box" He was so proud to "read" it to me. He has started talking about being so excited to go to Kindergarten this Fall. It makes my heart happy.

And that concludes Wednesday. Whew. A long one.

Holly
