On weekends we go strawberry picking. We also go out for dinner, or play in the city fountains downtown. On weekends we are a bit more laid back about sweeping the kitchen. We leave warm laundry on the bed. Sometimes we buy cupcakes after dinner for no reason at all.
On weekdays (summer weekdays mind you) Blake tiptoes out of the bedroom around 6a.m. Gwennie and I snooze together for another half an hour or so. Then we wake up and have breakfast. Abi usually wakes up halfway through Gwen's breakfast. I feed her and then while the girls are playing I catch up on some quick cleaning or laundry. After that, we will either take a walk in the stroller, bike ride for Abi or play in the backyard. We always play in the backyard in the morning because it gets such beautiful morning sun. Then it's time for Gwen to take a quick nap and Abi gets to watch PBS. During nap time I finally have a chance to wash my face or take a shower. Once I'm ready for the day I check email, make phone calls or clean a bit more.
When Gwen wakes up we head out for a play date or outing. During the summer we almost always go out to do something whether it's the park, water fountain, zoo, friends house or run errands. We come home and have lunch, or more likely I pack a lunch to bring with us. When we get home I put Abi down for a nap first. She rarely takes one but has gotten really good about playing quietly if she isn't tired. Then I nurse Gwen and put her to sleep. During the summer Blake usually comes home during nap time. We hang out and wait for the kids to wake up, or if Abi isn't sleeping Blake might put her into the stroller and take her for a run. The rest of the evening we try to stay outside as much as possible, hanging out at the park, in the back yard, or even at the garden. I usually make dinner while Blake plays with the girls. After dinner we play some more and then get the chickens into the bath. Now that Gwen is getting bigger we can usually bathe them together, which they both love. Blake reads books to Abi while I nurse the baby and then if we are lucky we have a couple of hours to hang out together.
And if feels pretty nice.
