A Day In Our Life- Sunday May

My friend Amy started this on her blog and I thought it was fun to track a week in words and pictures! Lets see if I can actually do it...

7:30am: We woke up to get ready for church, which was odd since Makenzie usually wakes us up before then! I love Sunday mornings because it is the only day of the week that I know Pete will wake up with me. He usually is out of bed around 4am (sometimes before and sometimes after). So, just laying in bed and talking is something that I really cherish.

9:15am We were a little late since Makenzie slept in but we were able to make it in time to worship still and then here an awesome message for our youth pastor. It was really challenging and about repentance. He did a great job flipping back and forth between Romans and I Peter to show how good has unconditional love but He calls us to repent of our sins while being genuine and committing to change our ways. I was able to catch up with a friend (and make some plans to get together hopefully) and then off to brunch with my parents.

12:00pm We then went back to my mom and dad's house to help with their to-do list and then relax a little bit. Makenzie played outside for a little bit and then went off for a nap. My mom and I spent some time online looking for something special for Timmy when he comes to visit and then we sorted through some stuff that we didn't need at the condo. Pete was fixing a brick step and then went running. I pulled out the baby pool and actually tanned in it myself since Makenzie took a THREE HOUR NAP. We munched on homemade salsa and chips and then went outside to enjoy more sunshine. I think she's switching to one nap a day... she's a little young for it... so we'll see.

2:00pm While we waited for her to wake up we played a little basketball, planted some wildflowers, spread some seeds and then I went back in the pool to cool off! Pete told me it's so hillbilly... but whatever. My dad came walking out with Makenzie around 3ish and she was very excited to play in the pool!! We spent a couple of hours playing and she just loved roaming the yard and splashing in the water. After she got cold (from playing with the hose) we went in to clean up.

5:00pm We ordered Chinese food and ate out on the back patio. It was nice to enjoy the sunshine but we could tell that something was blowing up!! We jumped into the car to go home and we drove by some homes we like that are for sale on the way. Once we got home, I started cleaning the house while Pete talked to the neighbors with Makenzie playing close by. I was able to clean the WHOLE house in time for some relaxation time with Pete before we went to bed. Makenzie went to sleep at 8 since she was enjoying playing outside with her dad.

9:00pm We decided to go to bed since Pete had to wake up at 3:30 this morning. I had a hard time sleeping the the crazy wind and storms and I have a feeling Pete didn't sleep well either! I kept worrying about a bird and it's nest that we have in a hanging plant on our porch There are three eggs in it and I kept thinking... maybe I should go take it down from the wind... but I didn't know if that would bother the bird!! I'm crazy.. but I love animals.

(PS, I didn't take any pictures yesterday... but I will start today!!)
