Fun with 2 kids

I hope everyone is doing well. We've been crazy busy. Wayne's been working out of the house at another facility. I've been taking care of the kids and attempting to take care of the house. It hasn't been going so well. We have such a specific routine that it's difficult when that is disrupted. For instance a typical day goes something like this: Wayne gets up with Cooper around 6:30, Savvi and I get up no later than 7:45, Wayne or I will get breakfast for Savvi. Cooper is usually back to sleep at this point, however, sometimes he's up and fussing, which makes for an interesting morning (sigh). While I'm getting Savvi ready (clothes, hair - sometimes this part is a battle of wills-, babies to snuggle with at school, etc.) Wayne cleans up the kitchen, makes her lunch for school, gets ready and takes her to school. While he's gone Cooper usually wakes up right as they are leaving and I get him dressed and fed. We work while she's a school and then I pick her up at 2:30. Then there's the afternoon decision of to nap or not to nap which I can usually tell on the ride home whether or not she needs one, but convincing her of that sometimes isn't easy. Then there's family time, playing with the kids, dinner, working out, bath time and bed - Wayne takes one and I take the other. Then a glass of wine and a TV show and bed for us.

Well, the past couple of weeks I've been doing most of this by myself, which means Cooper doesn't get fed when he's used to which makes for a fun ride home from her school. And going to get her usually times out when he's down for a nap or ready to eat. Then dinner has been hit or miss - if I plan it's easier, and I try to cook things that take as little time to prepare as possible. Then bed time has been the same except one night Wayne got home after they both were in the bed. She just went to bed a little later than usual. I totally respect single parents or parents that don't get much help from their spouses. Wow! I've been pretty tired at night.

Anyway, I have snapped some pretty cute pics over the past couple of weeks which includes Easter and just random shots around the house. Here are a few, I'll post more later. Enjoy!

Enjoying a Biter Biscuit!

What a mess - straight up for a bath!

He cleans up well. His hair will stay brushed down for about 5 minutes.

What a smile!

What's he looking at?
