First up, I wanted to announce the winner of the Falling for Fall Giveaway…
SHALIMAR CABRERA
Congratulations!!
**************************************************
I must tell you guys. I started this photo-by-the-hour post off strong and by the end of the day not so much. This is my excuse…I’ve never really had any fall allergy issues. Usually in the spring, I have a week of not feeling great but that’s it. I don’t know what is happening, but I must be allergic to the air in Texas right now. My eyes hurt, nose is running, I’m coughing…I’m a mess. I’m taking medicine but I don’t think it’s doing a thing.
I’m not the only one suffering in my house. We’re all struggling just a bit.
This is a typical Tuesday around here. I tried my best to capture one picture at the top of every hour…
5:00
My alarm went off and I got started on my Bible Study. Right now, I’m going through the All in All devotional and the You Are Loved eight week study.
6:00
I then got some blog work done before it was time to wake the kiddos up.
7:00
Lunches are packed, backpacks are ready and waiting by the back door.
8:00
I don’t know what happened when I backed out of the garage to take the kiddos to school-I somehow ran into this pot. It’s here everyday so I’m blaming it on the allergies. The pot crumbled on this one side. Too much of it was then hanging in the garage so the garage door wouldn’t close. A mess!
9:00
I got ready, picked up the little Shulls, and dropped Bowen, Ashby, and Madeley off at preschool. Shay and I carpool to/from preschool.
10:00
Britt had therapy right after drop off. Her therapist brought out this fall painting they did while she was working today. And I got the news…she started crawling! I really thought she’d be one of those kids that skipped crawling all together but for developmental purposes it’s really important she learns. So we’ve been working on it and she nailed it (kind of) during therapy. They came out showing me her skills.
11:00
We had to run in the grocery store to grab a few things after therapy and this breakfast burrito was speaking to me. SO good!
12:00
Britt and I had lunch and then we practiced her crawling skills a little bit more. She’s a fan of music on the I-Pad so I used that as the “bait” during our practice.
1:00-2:00
While Britt napped, I got a ton of travel work done (but I didn’t take a picture of that because everything had names).
3:00
I picked up the kiddos from school and they got right to work on their homework.
This is where I stopped taking pictures…I had brisket in the slow cooker for dinner that I prepared just a bit around 5:00, Shay picked up Ebby Lee to take to dance, then I went to grab the girls after class, I cleaned up the kitchen, and we were off to baseball at 7:00.
8:00-9:00
The game started at 7:30 p.m. and was over around 8:45 p.m.
8:45
Someone needed their diaper changed. 🙂 When you’re the youngest of four, you get to stay up WAY TOO LATE on a school night when your older brother has baseball games.
When we got home, I bathed Britt, put her to bed, and let Tab get the older kiddos to bed. I took the only allergy medicine we had in the house and was OUT!
If you see me around today, this is how it’s going so far. 🙂
Hope you have the best Thursday! XO
