Day In The Life: Fall Time

Happy Monday Foxy Friends! I hope you all had a good weekend! The Blended Blog ladies and I decided that today would be a good day to show you guys a day in our life during the Fall. So link up your days, so we can all be nosy and see what you have all been up to. I decided to document Saturday October 7th.

Note: This is not really a normal day, as we don't go to fundraisers every weekend, haha!

Another note: It was 95° outside.

Okay enough notes, let's get started.

8:30am - Mini Fox comes bounding into our bedroom wanting snuggles.

8:35am - I get up because I'm feeling sick and want to take some cold medicine.

8:37am- I come back upstairs to find Baby Fox in the bed too, so we get some family snuggle time in.

8:45am - We have to get up and going for soccer, but first I must netty pot...have you tried it before?


9:10am - I am down stairs and the kids want waffles for breakfast.


9:35am Waffles are done


10:15 We hustle out the door and get to Baby Fox's soccer game, there is a good 30 minutes before the game starts...


10:45am: It's 95° and in our rush to get out the door, we forget a rubber band for Mini Fox's hair, I find a clip in my purse, so I french braid her hair and use the clip, she wants to know what the clip looks like, so I take this picture.


11:05am - Game time


12:30pm, game ends and we head back to the house for some lunch.

The kids request Mr. to make some hot dog art. Baby Fox wanted a smiley face with hair and the ketchup is a wide tongue.


Mini Fox wanted Minnie Mouse in a car. I think he did pretty darn good.


12:50pm - My house is a wreck and I contemplate what to do...I decide to do nothing.


12:52pm: I decide to add one last touch to the mantel before getting ready to go to our fundraiser.


1:00pm-2:45pm: I run around trying to get everything done. The sign I made for the fundraiser needs to be fix...so I fix that, and it takes forever. Meanwhile, I have to wrap a gift for the kids to take to a birthday party, and do full make up and hair for the fundraiser.  (bad sign...)


Mr. takes off with the kids to drop them off at my parents house. I pack up the car and get ready to leave. Small car make sit hard to get the sign in...but I got it in...phew!


3:45pm-5pm: We get to the Nixon Library a few minutes late and we're off and running decorating and setting up.



This is what I as in charge of...full post on this coming soon!


Made it, the room looks fantastic!


6:00pm: The event is starting and we're starving and the appetizers are so dang good! This is a grilled cheese with tomato soup, it had to be documented, Mr. and I followed this guy around taking all the samples...hehe.


6:30pm Mr. and I take a breather outside.



7:00pm: We find the organizer of the function, give a little high five that it's going well.


7:15pm: Decide we want another drink. Moscow Mules are good!


7:30pm: Take one last picture of the outside before heading back in. This is the same picture from above, but at night time.


7:30pm: Head inside to start the evening.


9:38pm: Get picture from parents.


10pm: Decide to head home for the night, not feeling well and need to sleep. I hope we raised a ton of money for Thomas House! Last picture of the evening.


Good night! This was definitely not a normal Saturday, but it was a fun one! So glad that my wine pull did well and that all the wine was gone an hour into the event!

The Blended Blog: Day In the Life Blog Hop

Welcome! My first ever Day in the Life Post. I've always meant to do one of these, but never did it for some reason. I always love reading other people's DITL, so why not?! The ladies at The Blended Blog and I decided that we wanted to do a DITL, but thought it would be fun if we all documented the same day, seeing what everyone else was doing on the same day. After you read mine, follow along the hop and see what everyone else was up to.



7:50am: I wake up the first time, realize it's only 7:50am and roll back over to catch a few more zzzzzzz.....

8:10am: Baby Fox wakes up and asks to go use the restroom...actually it's more like a "I HAVE TO GO PEEE!!!" (screamed through his closed door, and then waits for us to say okay go ahead....seriously we've tried so many times to tell him to just go, and he won't...2am..."I HAVE TO GO PEE!!" scares the living daylights out of me...every time! I digress...)

8:12am: Baby Fox goes back to his room, no time to get up yet.

8:30am: Mr. gets up to go ride his bike

Not taken that morning...
8:42am: I get up, use restroom and brush teeth.

8:46am: I go get Baby Fox up, and then we go get Mini Fox up (our clock is 10 minutes off)


He's ready for the day!



First she wants her back rubbed....then...


She said she wanted me inside her crib with her...and Baby Fox wanted to take our picture... 


9:02am: I make the kids breakfast while they watch Tangled


 
          Mini Fox requested "I want eggs and cheese on top of toast, peeeaazz"


          Baby Fox requested "I want oatmeal with toast in strips please" And I added part of a left over    apple pancake from earlier in the week.


10:01am: Breakfast clean up (yes it takes them almost 45 minutes to eat breakfast...)



10:10am: Get the kids ready for the day. Baby Fox likes to pick out his own clothes.


Mini Fox wants her hair like Elsa...who am I to say no?





10:38am: Leave for Baby Fox's hair cut (long over due)

10:50am: Arrive and Baby Fox gets his hair cut




11:40am: I drop off the kids and Mr. at home and get to go on errands by myself! The original plan was I take Mini Fox and Mr. goes back with Baby Fox to watch Star Wars. Mini Fox objected to that plan and wanted to stay with the boys.

Mr. took some pictures for me so I could include what they did while I was away...so cute.




Meanwhile I got to go to several stores...mostly I was trying to think up of a Valentine's Day Craft for the blog/ to give to Baby Fox's school friends. I came up with a Juice Box Robot

So excited, errands by myself, totally unexpected!!!!


First stop was Walmart, which I bought the juice boxes, but forgot to take a picture. Next stop was Hobby Lobby, I was looking for some baskets to replace the ones we have in our family room and maybe find some Valentine's Day inspiration. I found neither.


Then I had the bright idea of stopping at Party City, I thought that maybe they're cheap candy section would have some stuff for my robot...


1:32pm: I take Mini Fox to my parents so she can take her nap and spend the rest of the evening there



2:00pm: Spa day with a friend! It was so nice to catch up with her and relax for a bit.

The door leading into  the Spa, obviously I couldn't take any pictures inside
3:30pm: Leave spa to go pick up Baby Fox for his first sleep over!



3:50pm: Pick up Baby Fox and Mr. and head over to friends house to spend the night.

Seriously he jumps out of the car and yells, by while waving backwards...like we weren't going to walk him in..silly kid.


Off and playing...



4:15pm: We're FREEEEE!!!! We head back to the house to get ready for our date!

5:30pm: Leave to go out...

6:30pm: The two restaurants we wanted to eat at have 3 hour wait times! Oops, didn't realize it would be so packed on a Saturday...

6:50pm: We are at a local brewery place.


8:00pm: We pick up Mini Fox from my parents, she had a blast at the church spaghetti dinner


They put these blankets up when people are moving in or out of the complex my parents live in.


She loves riding the cart



8:35pm: We are home and put Mini Fox down for the night




8:45pm: Sit down to watch a movie with Mr. - We watched Room, I read the book and it was very true to the book. I liked it, perhaps too serious for a date night, but whatever, Mr. said I could pick what I wanted.


And that my friends is my day on January 23rd! It was super fun to participate in this blog hop with the other Blended Blog ladies, I can't wait to see what they were doing on the same day as me. Now go hop into Nicole's day and she what she did.
