Day in the Life

When I used to write my ministry updates every so often I would write a "Day in the Life" update on a particularly good or diverse day.  Friday was one of those days for me as Mom.  

Usually I cook with Olivia but after she left for school with Nate Isaac and I got busy in the kitchen making chili for our navNight meeting.  He was so good putting the chopped green peepers in the container.   He listened well and jumped on whatever I asked him to do.

Friday mornings I have been attending a group for moms called "Motherwoman." It is a support group for Moms that I was skeptical about at first but have really come to enjoy.  They provide childcare for Isaac and Sam is with me while other moms and I talk about how its going in a judge free zone.  With snacks and coffee.   There is an old tractor parked by the parking lot there so when we get there and leave we say hello and goodbye to the tractor.

When we got home Isaac and Sam took naps and I tried to unsuccessful but a flower girl dress for Olivia and make brownies for Nav Night.

Nate picked up and brought Olivia home and watched the boys while I took her to the Doctor for her 4 year check up which Included 4 shots.  She was so brave and afterwards we went to Starbucks. 

When we got home we Made cornbread.

The kids and I ate chili for dinner- I put Sam to bed.  Then we said goodbye to Nate and I put the big kids to bed.  They really do so well going to bed together and sleeping through the night.

After bedtime I did a double t25 workout and continued pacing my house to reach 10000 steps while I watched parenthood.  

I think I took a shower, though that's up for grabs:) and then Nate came home and I fell asleep...  Apparently the chili and cornbread and brownies were a hit!

All a day in the life of this ministry mom of three...
