What I do all day...

I thought it may be fun to write a post about what I (as a stay at home mother) do in a day. I have a lot of people ask me what I do all day, so I thought I would keep a written example of one of my days. Each day is different, but this is a record of my Friday this week. :)

Woke a little before seven. (I got to sleep in this morning, because Tristyn did not have basket ball practice, normally I wake around 5:20 am)

I got Tristyn up for his shower, and put his clean uniform pants in front of his door.
Woke both Lauren and Megan and got gave them their uniforms to dress in for the day.
I helped both Lauren and Megan study for their spelling exams, and then quizzed them.
My husband fed the children their breakfasts, while I made three lunch's for school, and got the water bottles made up for them to take, made up my husband's tea and got it into his bottle to take to work.

Then made sure everyone had teeth brushed and hair styled. Put the lunch boxes into back packs along with water bottles. Put on their coats and said goodbyes.
