How not to schedule your day

I thought I would have more pictures, but I did not take any this evening- maybe I will take some tomorrow while Bug plays while I paint the shed.

So here is how to over schedule your Saturday with a toddler
1. Schedule professional pictures at 9 am
2. Leave the picture place at 10 am and promise the toddler that you will go swimming
3. get home at 10:30 and start packing up the swimming bag
4. arrive at pool and proceed to the outdoor pool area
5. 10:50- lfieguard kicks you out of the wading pool because the pool does not open until 11 am
6- walk back inside to talk to the front desk person who you spoke to at 10:20 and who told you the pool was open
7. 10:55- supervisor informs the lifeguards and you that the pool opened at 10:30 and we can all go back out there.
8. Play at the pool until 11:45 (designed to wear out toddler for nap)
9. pack up toddler, stop at farmers market road side stand for watermelon and get home at 12 noon
10. cut some watermelon for the toddler to snack on
11. at 12:30 inform the toddler that it is nap time- realize that making the play date at 2 pm is probably not going to happen
12. 1 pm- toddler falls asleep- now definitely realize that the play date is out because the toddler is snoring.
13. 2 pm- Momma falls asleep
14: 3:15 pm- toddler and momma wake up- playdate missed since we have to get up get organized, drive to playdate (about 20 -30 minutes). So we would get there 30 minutes before we would have to leave again for an evening dinner with church group
15. head to Mam and Pap's house at 3:30 for some time with them and to give them copies of the pictures
16. Have dinner with Mam and Pap 4:30
17. head to church outing 5:30
18: 7:30 leave church outing- Bug's bed time. Interesting though that the other parents were talking about the struggle to get their kids to bed by 9:30 and I was sitting there thinking, Bug is in bed usually by 7:30 .
19. Bug in jammies and drinking milk on the couch- 8pm
20. Bug in bed at 8:30 and asleep by 8:45 pm -only about an hour late, but pretty good considering the schedule we had today.

Tomorrow's agenda- church and housework- painting the shed and some gardening. Hopefully, I will get the laundry done too. Bug is planning on "mowing" the grass while I paint. I see a bubble filled afternoon.

Love and hugs to you,
