Our weeks and days are the same usually, and I like it that way. I have come to love so many things about being a mom. I love being home with the girls. We wake up in the morning to Becca having already changed her outfit 3 times with different dresses (she is obsessed with dresses). She then goes and plays quietly in her room till Rachel wakes around 7:45, and that is when we wake up for the day. We make breakfast (we are not cereal people). Nathan goes to work, the girls and I play in the front room while I then clean up breakfast mess. Rachel goes down for a 1st nap. While Rachel snoozes the times away Becca and I usually put together a puzzle or she reads books. I try to get a load of laundry in each day around this time also. Rachel wakes up, we like to have bath time around then or after her second nap. We make lunch, and play some more:). Girls both go down for an afternoon nap, along with myself :) If I don't nap I like to clean or get comfy up on the couch and read or just sit and think (usually about decorating). When both girls wake up we like to go out if it's nice, or go to the store (I love Target). If we don't do either of those things we color, have snacks, maybe watch a movie while I make dinner and anticipate when daddy gets home. The girls get so excited when they hear that garage door open, they both go running for the door (Rachel crawls as fast as she can:) to see him, it is so cute! We eat dinner, put the girls to bed Rachel at 6, Becca around 7. Then Nathan and I talk or I will go run some errands. We usually talk, and clean the kitchen at some point:). And that sums up our most typical day. It probably sounds boring, but I have come to love it so much. I know that life will not always be this relaxed when the girls get older and get involved in sports, school etc... But for now I enjoy how my life is. And love these little girls so much, they make our life happy:) If you got this far in reading thank you. I am horrible lately at keeping a journal so for now this will have to work. These are a few pics from the week.

Isn't it great to be a stay at home mom? I never thought I would love it so much!
It's nice to hear other people's routines everyday... our's is quite similar :)
MJ's doing pretty well with Josie. He just ignores her for the most part. Haha.
I will send some vegetarian recipes your way. Have you tried the Lentil Tacos on my blog? I love to make taco salad with either veggie chili or black beans. We cook a lot with eggs- a scramble of potatoes, onions, peppers, eggs, and cheese- YUM! Add some hot sauce on top to make it even tastier. I make Cincinnati chili with veggie meat. Veggie lasagna. Baked Ziti. Hmmm... I'll have to look through my recipe book.
That sounds like me as well, and I love it. ISn't it weird how we love to be on a strict schedule, it makes the day go by so much faster, and smoother. I can't wait til the sun comes out so we can go to the play ground.
Sounds like absolute heaven. Actually, it sounds a lot like my current schedule, minus the actually having kids part. Ha ha!
