A Day in the Life - October 17, 2009

About a week ago, I realized that today was going to be a BUSY day today.  A perfect storm of activities madness:  soccer game, ballet lesson, and a Halloween party.  All in one day.  Plus add to that a meeting with our financial planner.  Big fun.

(Normally, ballet is at 11... but this week, the soccer game was scheduled for 11.  Luckily, Molly's wonderful ballet teacher agreed to have class at noon... since three of the four girls wouldn't have been there otherwise!)

When I realized how nutty the day was going to be (that would be when Molly I and determined on the way to school that she would require no less than six costume changes for the day's events...) I thought it might be fun to take a photo every hour on the hour just to capture what our day was like.  Amazingly enough, I remembered to do it most of the day.

So here it is:  A Day in Our Life:

7:15 a.m.


What was really happening at 7:15 a.m.

And the posed version...











8:15 a.m.



On our way to the bagel store to have a little breakfast...





















9:15 a.m.


Watching "Imagination Movers" on her MP3 player while Mommy and Daddy met with their financial planner at the bank.

(Funny side story: at the bank, we say your favorite barista from Starbucks.  Her name is Molly.  She - of course - remembered you immediately.  She's applying for colleges - Vanderbilt and Wash U.  Go, Molly!)












10:15 a.m.



Heading to the soccer field...

It was C O L D.

How cold?

Daddy dressed up like the Unibomber cold. 









11:15 a.m.

Game on!





12:15 a.m.

One snack and our first costume change later... and we've transformed from soccer player into ballerina...

(Missed the photo here... eating lunch of homemade chili.  Mmmmmm.)

Crash...

Back up... costume on... ready to go party.

Calling Grandpa to tell him "Get Well Soon!"  (Also doing sticker art, at the same time.)

Bath time... last photo of the night.  What a way to end the day.
