On Monday, I did my very first PHOTO EVERY HOUR over on Instagram. I tried my best to snap a picture almost hourly to share a bit of our life with you. The feedback I got over on Instagram was great. You guys seemed to be fans! I promise to bring this back {hopefully} monthly and just post more over on Insta-Stories and Instagram in general.
You can follow me on Instagram at “slaughteren”. I tend to accidentally take big posting breaks from Instagram, but I’m trying to stop doing that. 🙂
In case you missed it, here’s a peek into my Monday. If you’re new here I want you to know I’m super nosey so these posts-similar to a “Day in the Life” are some of my favorites to read. Hope you enjoy it!
5:30 a.m.
You guys I had my alarm set for 5:00 a.m. and I woke up around 2:30 a.m. and couldn’t go back to sleep. I was awake for way too long so during that time I pushed my wake up time back by thirty minutes. I got asked a lot about my 2:30 a.m. alarm. Haha! To be honest, I have no clue why or when I woke myself up purposefully at 2:30 a.m.!
6:30 a.m.
I went in to wake the kiddos up and Bowen just wasn’t feeling getting out of bed. I couldn’t blame him.
On this morning, we woke up to a crazy cool McKinney morning! BRRRR!!! We turned the fireplace on and got ALL the blankets while they watched a morning show. My kiddos would prefer I wake them up thirty minutes early just so they have time to be lazy in the morning. I totally get that. #theygetitfromtheirmama
7:30 a.m.
All four are ready for the day! We loaded up and dropped the two big kiddos off at school.
8:30 a.m.
10:00 a.m.
I freshened up just a bit, washed my face, and added some make-up before getting my crew at childcare.
Shay had a speaking engagement at a local MOPS so I offered to take her girlies with us for the morning. I busted them out of childcare and all but ONE were excited to take a picture. Can you guess which one?
11:00 a.m.
We had a busy after school and I knew there’d be no time for whipping up dinner then. I had bought all the ingredients needed to make Shay’s Steak and Wedge Burgers. {And if I’m being honest, my ground beef needed to be cooked THAT day or I was afraid I’d have to throw it out.} So I turned them into meatballs instead, followed her recipe exactly-just in meatball form, threw them in my slow cooker, and they were ready to eat after all the activities.
12:30 p.m.
After starting some laundry, getting a few phone calls in, and unloading the dishwasher it was time for this girl’s nap and work time for me!
She was feeling it…can you tell?
1:30 p.m.
I was on the phone with a travel client and Bowen thought it’d be funny to WAKE BRITT UP FROM HER NAP! YES! He LOST his mind, went into her room, and got her OUT of HER BED!
2:00 p.m.
It was complete chaos at this moment. Bowen and Britt pulled out all the blankets, Britt was drawing all over with a marker, and they were both playing at my feet. #workingfromhomeproblems
5:00 p.m.
We picked up the big kiddos from school, had volleyball practice, and grabbed one quick, blurry picture before leaving the gym.
5:15 p.m.
Can you guess?
6:00 p.m.
Nixon had a baseball game so we darted over there right after volleyball and cheered him on!
8:30 p.m.
After the game, a quick dinner, and baths we took a few pictures and were off to bed.
A BIG GOOD NIGHT from our crew to yours!
XO
