Falling into a Routine

As I was puffing away on the treadmill this AM I realized we've fallen into a little routine here. The girls have been getting up between 6 and 6:30. It works out well since Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is on at 6:30. After watching Mickey Mouse we get dressed, have breakfast and play a little, then Scott leaves for work around 7:50. After he goes the girls play (usually babies) until 9, then I suit up to hit the treadmill and I get them going with play dough or watercolors. They play and/or watch Sesame Street while I run and then I get a shower--usually with no one else in the bathroom!

Next we run down to mail any letters for the day, and then we either go out or back home to play a bit more. Scott's home for lunch around 12:15 most days and the girls go down for a nap around 12:30 or 1. They're up around 2:30 or 3 and then we play outside or go over to the school if it's a gym day (the roller skates are still a big hit!). We begin fixing dinner around 5, Scott's home around 6 and then it's dinner, baths, and bedtime.
The days pass quickly as you can see! I am finding that ages 2 and 3 are great for being a stay at home mom. They're finally old enough that they can play together for more than 5 minutes at a time!

On another note, Scott went fishing last night after work. He caught two silvers (salmon) in the first ten minutes. He and a friend also hitched a boat ride, then his buddy took our salmon home to smoke them for us.
