A typical Tuesday...

It's was typical Tuesday for us yesterday... wake up, start cleaning the house... and not just clean... we have to be "model house ready" just in case there is a showing! Phhew... it's exhausting - but I know it's just my part to get this house sold! This is our 4th week "officially" on the market and we've had 7 showings... not bad. One possible 2nd showing... we'll see how that goes! Please continue to pray for us to have patience! Since taking off our showings on Saturdays it has allowed us that ONE DAY to just relax and "rest" from the crazy busy weeks that we have!

This was my day yesterday: 6:15am wake up & jump in the shower . 6:50am kids on the bus & off to school . 7-9:30 clean the house . 10am Sarah shows up to watch Mia . 10:30am pick up Morgan from school for an orthodontist appointment . 11:00-11:30am lunch with Morgan at home . 11:45am tuesday lunch with Daniella at the school . 12:15pm had art class with Dani . 1pm Volunteer meeting at the school re: testing monitors . 1:30-3pm run errands . 4-5pm homework & practice piano & violin with the kids 5-5:30pm feed the kids . 6pm Mia's water baby class & 6-8pm Mo, Ry & Dani at swim team practice at our pool down the street . 9pm sit on the computer or clean the house or whatever... it's now MY TIME . 11pm I should go to sleep - but I'm always up later!

Morgan taking some downtime after practicing & homework is done ... a small window of "nothing" - enjoying some music on his MP3.

Ryan working on his violin piece

Daniella is a computer hog (like her momma!)... either e'mailing or taking care of her gazillion Webkins!

Mia is always hungry and waiting for food... and Bella is always close by. In her older age - she sleeps a LOT!

Mia is now confidently walking ALL OVER the house! She is modeling her new little dress... In the background you will hear Morgan practicing his new piano piece - AVALANCHE

Swim coaches - Coach Katie & Coach Stephanie!

The pool is only about 75 degrees and yesterday there was a breeze... so the kids were chilly - but they still worked very hard! Practice for Swim Team is: Monday, Tuesday & Thursday from 6-8pm!

Dani is excited to reach the edge!

The daddy's on the sidelines

Ryan didn't last for the last 1/2 hour... being as skinny as he is.. he just couldn't keep himself warm!

Thankfully we have friends like that Adams family who can help me "multi-task" - like drop off the kids for swim team so I can take Mia to her Water Baby Class. OOooh and Mia had a great swim class last night! If you recall my first blog about the "expectation" of her water baby class... I just laughed! Baby falls in from the side of the pool, flips over, reaches for the edge of the pool and pulls themself out! Well... I really didn't think it was possible... but I can see that it actually can be done! Mia had a fantastic class last night and I helped her "fall into the pool", her head went under... she slowly came up and I helped her flip on her back... she reached for the side of the pool and actually tried to pull herself out. Is she doing it on her own? NO, not yet... but WOW... she's definitely trying! I'm convinced now that it's not out of the question! YEAH!!!!!
