Week in the Life :: Thursday/Friday

So I kind of fell off the taking pictures wagon. These two days were my busy days of the week though. Here's what I have...

Week in the Life :: Wednesday

[1] Wake up, cuddle with Brody, and get a little bit of reading in on the iphone. [2] Stack of books currently next to my bed. [3] He loves to hang out in bed. [4] A peek in my messy closet. [5] Tyson's dresser. [6] View from the hall. [7] Browsing online. [8] Piles of stuff that needs a home (still). [9] Getting ready to bake some of my favorite bread. [10] He lounges and hopes for me to drop something yummy. [11] Finished product--I didn't shape the loaf very well!

Not pictured: morning work out (cardio + lower body weights), lunch (more leftovers), dishes, ironing, dinner (homemade pizza + cheesy bread), small group

Week in the Life :: Tuesday

I only took a few pictures today...too busy having fun! Will do better today.

TUESDAY :: Tyson wakes up at 5:15am to go work out. I sleep until 7:15 and then cuddle with Brody while I have my "quiet time." I head to the gym at 8:45 for cardio (swimming) and then back for a shower. Watch Real Housewives reunion (it's my guilty addiction.) and snack on cheesy break (ok so I might have two guilty addictions) until Ashley comes over for our downtown Houston extravaganza. We check out Borders' closing sale (not impressed) and walk around a bit. Salads from Whole Foods on a bench outside--divine. I thought we could walk to Sprinkles, but I didn't realize it was a mile and a half away (at 1pm, can you say hot?!) so we end up driving. Drive over to get massages I got her for her birthday (back in May). My first massage: heavenly. Back to Katy to the mall to find a new suit (thank you Banana for 60% off!) and then home again for more Real Housewives and leftovers: more kalua pork, jambalaya (YUM), french fries, and Sprinkles cupcakes. So healthy. In bed around 10:30 to get up and do it all over again.

Week in the Life :: Monday

Hello! So if you read Ali Edwards' blog, you might know that she is currently doing her project Week in the Life, which is basically dedicated to capturing with words and photos the daily rhythms of your family. I wasn't planning on joining in, but while I was eating lunch, I suddenly felt impulsive and started snapping pictures. I don't have much for today, but I'm okay with that.

9am: morning workout with Ashley (cardio + a little weight lifting)

10:45: come home to find that I forgot to put away the marshmallows from last night's s'mores and Brody helped himself to the leftovers. Story of my life.

11am: Lots of dishes to do from last night.

 ...while Brody pouts.

12:15pm: Wolfed down a turkey sandwich

 1pm: I finally give in and we go out to play. Brody has to sit by the mat and wait for the ok to run away.

My basil is thriving along with a lone weed on my thyme side. I think I need to re-seed.

Of course our baby grill is still out from last night.

Too tired to play?

2:30pm: Coffee with a friend
4pm: grocery shopping

6pm: Will it actually rain? (Answer: not really.)

6:15pm: Sudoku time

...while I check the mail! I won Kelly Goree's 500th + 5 year post giveaway last week and I received my loot today. I was so very excited. I unloaded it in the kitchen and kept exclaiming variations of "ohmygosh!" and finally Tyson wandered in to see what was going on. There's even some really cute school stuff along with buttons, brads, stickers, paper, rub-ons, and so much other amazingly cute stuff. I was blown away by her generosity.

6:30pm: baked potato night! I go meatless, but Tyson likes protein. He chose leftover kalua pork.

Delish.
