evenings can get kind of hectic for us at times. by the time we get home, it seems like we have such a small window to get in some quality harper time. it usually involves us making dinner, getting her dinner ready, feeding her, bath time then nursing her to sleep. last night was an exceptionally busy one.
we both got home around 5pm. i played with harper while amy started on making some apples and pears for her. she also made some brownies for her teachers at school. it is teacher appreciation week. 6pm, amy took H and i started on dinner. we had pork chops and mock mashed "cauliflower" potatoes. we all sat down to eat together, as we do every evening. H had some sweet potatoes w/ rosemary and blueberries. note to self...blueberries are messy! she liked them, but my oh my are they not fun to clean up. 6:45pm, i played with H a little longer while amy cleaned the kitchen. we also made a nice little care package for the teachers at school. then it was 7pm. bath time! after a nice bath in her new big girl tub i nursed her to sleep and then headed outside to mow the backyard around 7:45pm. amy was tending to the garden and the fallen jasmine while i mowed the high grass, trimmed and pulled weeds until i could not see a thing anymore. by that time, amy had finished washing both dogs! wow, i am tired just writing about what we got accomplished last night. 9:15pm and we were headed upstairs with H still fast asleep. i ironed my work clothes as i do every night and got ready for bed. 9:45pm my head hit the pillow and i don't think i moved until the alarm at 5:45am.
i think we will take it easy tonight.
