Week in the Life 2013 | Friday Words + Photos

Welcome to the Friday edition of Week in the Life 2013.

Today was a bit low on the picture taking. I was either forgetting to grab my camera to capture stuff or sometimes thought of it, but decided to leave it be.

Although I will admit that sometimes as a SAHM, most days get repetitive in one way or another. The dishes are never done, the floor is always being cleaned, finding ways to communicate with the 2-year-old so that she knows what I want in a way that will make her realize that she has to listen to me (oh yes, we're there), potty training; spending time with Hubby and doing stuff for myself.

It's slightly repetitive, but I also know that the next day is a new day full of new challenges. And I embrace that. I also hate to admit it, but I kind of like working out of the house on the weekends. It means that Keith and Violet get one-on-one time together that they rarely get during the week.

Anyways.... here are some of the photos from Friday.

This microwave used to belong to my Grandma Wiebe. It's ancient and now my Mom has it. Still works perfectly.

9:00am - Play around a bit and then get ready to go down to my Mom’s place to watch it for a bit while she’s at an appointment and a repair guy is showing up to fix her washer; Violet play around with Grandma’s frogs and I find that Pop Tarts don’t bother my morning sickness
