A day in the life of ...

I've seen several bloggers blog about a day in the life of themselves. They always seem to have a ton of interesting things to say and do. I am going to blog about a day in the life of the Allen family. Not promising, excited. Definitely busy though!

Let's just jump right in!

7:00 a.m.: Logan's talking, so I look in her cradle and see that she is awake. I go make her a bottle, grab her, and get back into bed to feed her. We both fall back asleep. 

Around 7:30, Kennedy wakes up and comes to get into bed with us. We play with Logan for a while and get out of bed. I didn't feel like cooking breakfast, so Chaz went to Sonic and got us some breakfast burritos. After I picked up the house and did a load of laundry, Kennedy, Logan, and I went to play for a while. I took these pics of the girls while we were playing.



After we got finished playing, I uploaded a book to Kennedy's Leapfrog Tag. We read Tangled.  Kennedy asked if she could watch Pirates of the Carribean for the 20th time, and of course, I said yes. :)
I did more cleaning, called my mom, and did more laundry and put it away. After all that, I heated up leftovers for lunch. Kennedy and I worked on writing a princess storybook after lunch. Her favorite princess is Aurora. Chaz put Logan down for a nap. While she was sleeping I was painting a french provincial china cabinet. It is going to be so pretty when it's finished. Logan woke up, and shortly after that I had a client come pick up her white with cream glazed french provincial dresser.


After she left I painted on the china cabinet for a while longer.  I put on a chuck roast for a few hours, planning on making stew for dinner. I love stew on a cold wintery day.  Kennedy and I went to my mom's and I jumped in the tanning bed for a little bit. A girl has got to get a little color every now and then. We left there and headed to Wal-Mart. I needed to pick up carrots for the stew that I was going to make for dinner.  When I got home, my roast was ready to shred. I shredded that, added the other ingredients to my stew and voila! Stew was ready in about an hour. Chaz, Kennedy, and I ate dinner while Logan shrieked at us the entire time. Half of the time she was shrieking happily, the other half was in pain. Poor girl is teething. I just wish those little teeth would pop through the skin and stop bothering her!

After dinner, Chaz's mom and dad came by. They had been on a cruise to Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel for 7 days. They really missed the girls, but had a good time. They saw the girls and visited with us for a while and then headed home. Chaz put Logan to sleep and I tucked Kennedy in. I went to Jack's and got gas (because I know that I will NOT want to get out in the morning).  I'm back home, relaxing and blogging. Whew! What a day.

I also painted this desk yesterday. I've been a busy little bee. Can't wait to paint more and have more pictures for everyone to see.





Hope everyone had a great weekend and has a good upcoming week. It's snowing outside and I just read that some schools are closed tomorrow. I guess the weekend isn't over for some. Unfortunately I will have to head in to work in the morning. G'nite y'all!

  1. I'm exhausted just reading it... The stew was delicious too. You're right we missed our grand babies.
