January and February

Since this is also our family journal, I'm going to sum up the last few months.  January and February were both busy and boring.  I was babysitting a lot, running a carpool for a friend that was out of the country for two months and trying to keep up with our family needs.   My typical daily schedule went like this:

7:15 am - Get Up
7:30 - Aubrie gets dropped off
8:20 - Drop off Samuel at school
8:40 - Get back home
9:10 - Drop off Aaron at work and Adam at school
9:50 - Get back home/do chores and/or run errands
10:45- On T/Th Park day for Aubrie
12:30- On M/W/F drop off Aubrie at preschool
1pm - Pick up Twins at their preschool and take them home
1:45 -  On Wed pick up boys from school, other wise -Get home/run errands/do chores
2pm - On Wed Fiona gets dropped off (babysitting)
3:10 - Pick up boys from school on most days
3:30 -  On M/W/F Pick up Aubrie from Preschool
4:00 - Help kids with homework
5:30 - Aubrie (and Fiona on Wed.) get picked up
6 pm - Dinner
6:30 - Clean-up and prep for next day
8pm - Bedtime for boys
9:30 - Time boys actually settle down and go to sleep
11pm- My bedtime

It made for a busy day (especially Wednesday), but not horrible.  The carpooling of the twins ended when my friend came back from her trip.  It rained a lot, but there were lots of beautiful days too, here in Northern California.  One day we went out to Little Farm, a local state park, and fed the farm animals and went on a short hike around a small lake.  It felt good to soak up the sunshine and get some fresh air.

So, no big events, but lots of just keeping busy with life!
