Today my brother in law was speaking at a Word Press Conference and my sister wanted to attend, so she asked if I would help out with the kids.
My day began at 8:45am with Cole and Dallin screaming as if there were a fire or some other emergency..."WAKE UP! Shell Shell...WAKE UP!!!" So, awake I was! I mosey on down the stairs to get my schedule for the day from my sister and out the door she went.
I ate breakfast, took a shower and got ready. Since it was Cole's day for 1/2 time snacks and treats for his soccer game, I had to finish baking and frosting cupcakes, and get the snacks and water loaded in my car.
Green sprinkles for the "Green Dragons"
I helped Cole get dressed for soccer and then helped Sadie make a card and wrap a gift for a baby shower. We dropped the gift and off we went to pick Dallin up from his Cartooning Class in Orem at 11:30am.
After picking up Dallin, we had to race back to Cedar Hills to have Cole and the treats to the soccer field by 12pm. Arriving only 5 or so minutes late, I told Cole to run out there and find his coach while I gather the treats.
Cole running for the ball, but the girl is kinda blocking him out of the picture.
The game was a ton of fun until Cole is kicked in the face and got a bloody nose all over. Trying to calm him down and keep myself from passing out I cleaned him up and shoved a tissue up his lil nostril. It finally stopped bleeding and being a tough guy, he was right back in the game.
After the game, I dropped Sadie off at the baby shower late and head home to get the boys some lunch. Feeling all motivated, I decided to clean my car inside and out.
Look how pretty, all shiny and clean!
Not realizing what time it was and that I was supposed to have a pasta salad made and delivered to the church building for Women's Conference by 4:45pm, I ran to Walmart, bought what I needed and raced home to get started. I threw it together super fast, delivered it to the church and hurried home to get myself changed and ready to attend Women's Conference. Monica got home just after 5pm, changed her clothes and off we went to be spiritually edified while Sadie watched the boys.
Over all it was a great day! I really enjoyed spending time with the kids and I am glad I was able to help my sister out to allow her to go support her hubby! I think I got just a glimpse of what being a mom is all about...running kids all over the place, juggling a million things at once, baking, soccer mom, etc. It was extremely chaotic and I am pretty sure I bit ALL of my nails off! I don't know how you moms do it everyday. I am just glad at the end of the day I was able to relax and enjoy conference with my sister.
