So........after being back in school for a month now, we finally have a rhythm to life. You know how easy momma forgets things, so I thought I would write down what our "typical" week looks like right now, so one day when it really is busy I will remember the "good old days"!
Sunday- church and out to lunch (usually at City Cafe or Mazatlans), home for naps (everyone) and then playtime, dinner, and time to prepare and talk about the weeks activities.
Monday- School day for Caitlyn and "Mimi's" Day for Caroline. Most Monday nights we eat dinner at Mammi and Big Daddy's house (and have guests). Your favorite part about this night is bathtime with cousin Mariana in the big tub!!! Caitlyn, you have homework every Monday night.
Tuesday-School day for both of you. We have finally gotten the rules down for morning activities and getting out the door easier!!! Tuesday afternoons usually consist of watching Bindi, the Jungle Girl and dress up time before dinner.
Wednesday- Get Caitlyn to school and then a Caroline and Mommy day (usually consists of errands or a play date), home to nap and then getting ready for dance!! Ashlyn Milom rides with us there--we look forward to this day every week. Caroline, you take first while Caitlyn hangs out and colors or reads until her class time. It's nice b/c I get time with each of you separately. Most Wednesday nights (if we are still holding it together) we go to church after dance class and a quick dinner.
Thursday-School day again for both of you, girls. Most Thursdays I come read in your classroom, Caitlyn. We both really look forward to that time. I love seeing you with your new friends. Thursday afternoon and evening consist of more Bindi, playing outside (while the weather is still warm) and other playtime fun.
Friday-YAY!! The weekend is coming....last day of school for Caitlyn and another Caroline and Mommy day (we are most often home this day, just hanging out and doing fun stuff-like making jewelry :)). We have all been WORN OUT on Fridays and usually end up just crashing at home.
Saturday-FAMILY DAYS!!! Daddy tries so hard to be home with us and not work these days. We try to just let the day unfold with no time constraints and soak up time with just the four of us. I can see these days being more and more precious for me as the years go on.
On a side note, here is Aunt Amy last week. She is now 25 weeks and getting bigger all the time. We are told HE (yes, HE!!!) will be named Josue' Daniel (Joshua in English) and will be due before January sometime. We are thrilled to be adding a boy in our mix of very girly girls!!! You girls just love trying to feel him kick and move and are so very ready to meet him.

I think you're right! One of these days we'll look back at this time in our lives and realize we didn't really know what "hectic" was!!! Even the things we keep busy with right now are such precious moments to be remembered!
I love that you recorded your weekly schedule. What a neat memory you just made for yourself.
And, Amy looks adorable. However, me at 17 weeks and her at 25 weeks...I think my tummy has hers beat! We all carry them differently, don't we?
I love the way your blog is written. This will be so special to your girls when they get older.
