Everyday with the Evelsizers: A Monday.....

Our Monday started out a little crazy with unexpected changes, but it got a whole lot better!

Dave left Sunday afternoon about 1:30 to go to work. He was supposed to work til 11:00 p.m., then have Monday off.

I am going through some trainings at work and we have met on and off first semester. The last date we had on the schedule was February 12th. I was totally looking forward to that date. The trainings begin immediately after school and last until 7:00 p.m. It is a long, hard day and it is usually stressful because I have to find someone to pick up the boys from daycare, bring them home, feed them dinner, give them baths, and get them ready for bed. Thankfully I usually make it home before Reese actually falls asleep.

Well last week I had training and we made the schedule for the rest of the year. I thought we were done so I was not happy. Now we meet EVERY. SINGLE. WEEK. until the end of the school year. I wanted to cry.

I had a training this afternoon and thankfully Dave was able to get the day off. He mentioned to me that he would just keep the boys home with him all day to play. So.....my Monday would start out with not having to iron so many outfits for this morning, getting to sleep just a little bit later to help with my long day, and even with sleeping later I could get to school a little bit earlier to get a few things done since I didn't have to make the stop at daycare. Just a few little things that would help me out on this long day.

Sunday night I had showered, ironed my clothes, and was ready to get a few things done before bed when I called Dave at work to say hi really quick. Then he told me.....mandated at work and wouldn't be home until 7:30 a.m. I tip toed into each boy's bedroom and found outfits for them, called the sitter to tell her that they WOULD be at daycare today, and reset my alarm for quite a bit earlier.

Despite the last minute change the boys got up and were happy this morning and we got out of the house actually a few minutes early. I got to work and opened my email....eMINTS training CANCELLED for today!

I knew Dave was already asleep and had his alarm set for 2:00 p.m. so he could get up and go get the boys from daycare, so I waited for a text from him this afternoon. He was on his way to get the boys and I told him my meeting was cancelled. I got a few things done at school and headed home to spend the beautiful afternoon with the boys.

We enjoyed some time outside......in January.....it was great!

A wagon ride...

Reese....

the wild lawn mowing man...

Dane was just so, so happy to be outside!

On their way home from daycare Dave and the boys stopped to buy some milk....boy are we glad it isn't $8 a gallon...we drink about 4 gallons a week right now! Dane picked out some Spiderman Graham Crackers. See little Reese man in the back going through the bags!
