Daily Schedule

There are days when I feel like I am running in a hundred different directions. We are constantly rushing from one activity to the next only to drop at the end of the day and wonder what I actually accomplished that day. In all our prayers the little girls say, "...and Daddy went to work and Mommy stayed home with Erika, Abby, and Scotty and had fun". So, evidentally I stay home and have fun every day. I thought it would be good to write down our usually schedule so one day they can look back on it and see all that went on each day-even the not-so-fun stuff.

4:00am-feed Scott in our bed and let him sleep with us until morning

I edited it and the change laundry font/lettering is all bold and bigger now, I have no idea why, it really isn't that important. Weird bloggerism I guess.
