Step into my shoes for a day

I have the rainy day blues so i figure why not let others see what my day looks like in a nut shell......

Around 7a-8am- I hear Brett roll out of bed to get cry baby Zelan and feed him his breakfast. I roll myself out of bed and get Riley some waffles (he is addicted!).

8:30 am- Make Brett breakfast then put some clean cloth on the boys butts.

9:00 talk to Brett while he gets ready for work.

9:45 tell Brett by and turn on the laptop checking facebook, leaving that up while the boys are watching TV I start my latest past time (reading 50 Shades).

10a-12p: read while getting up every 5mins to stop the kids fighting, getting into things, climbing on everything....ect (no lie) Start the diaper laundry and get up every 15mins to turn on rise 4 times.

12p- change butts because by this time both boys have had their morning poos. make Zelan a Sippy and put him in his bed for a nap....hopefully get Riley to lay down and take a nap also. Take the diapers out of the washer because i most likely forgot i was washing them and put the diapers on my dry rack and throw the inserts and wash cloths in the dryer....try to pack my dry rack outside without waking up the boys......start clothes laundry....

2p- look up to see cry baby Zelan crawling down the hallway into the living room...he's awake! start with TV(which is never turned off Disney Jr. EVER) and playtime....then Riley wakes up get him lunch and remember that i haven't ate.....fix myself a hot pocket!

3p-6:30p- keep the boys happy and myself sane...pick up toys every hour and take them back into their room so they can keep bring more out....and try to remember I'm doing laundry until Brett gets home....(at some point look out the window and realize i forgot the diapers were outside...so drag them into the house) some days insert vacuuming/ dusting/ mopping into this section...

6:40p- Start dinner, and feed Zelan....

7ish- eat diner while giving Zelan puffs trying to keep him calm while be eat...NOT in peace...

8p- bath time boys, night time diapers, put Zelan to bed with a sippy and ask Riley where he want to sleep (his futon in the living room or his bed).....

9p- realize the boys are not going to bed in their room scoop them up and take them into our bed (Brett, Zelan, Riley, Myself) full size bed....= lay there getting kicked/hit/hair pulled until they pass out....pack them into their beds..

11p- read my book while Brett snores...

3a- realize is super late and i need to go to see so I can wake up and do it ALL OVER AGAIN!

Howes House has Fluffy Butts

Yes, Finally we have gone fluffy! 

 

 

I have been trying my hardest to get Brett to which to Fluff (aka cloth diapers). Brett is a in the now type person (cloth=big bucks up front to save later) Well spending $25 a week on "normal" diapers was getting to be a bit much and Riley was getting ready to move up in size(they were in the same size so it was easy).... Well I came across a super nice lady that will send you diapers to get you started, Brett agreed to try them out.

We got our first batch in all prepped and ready before Brett got home the boys had fluffy bums!

Brett changed his first cloth diaper(even sprayed it out, we are lucky and our shower sprayer reaches the toilet) and he said and I quote " We can do this its simple and cute". That night he let me order 16 more diapers with MF inserts and 10 bamboo from a good friend who was selling some. The will be here tomorrow, cant wait! Then we ordered 9 cartoon character diapers from a co-op so we are super excited to get those in but we were told co-ops take a while to ship out. So far we are on the right track with cloth we have our tea tree oil ....OH WAIT! we also changed to cloth wipes too (hint hint tea tree oil)...then we have our coconut oil in case of red bums (which it works on a ton of things Brett was amazed he burnt himself on the oven last night and put some on it and in the morning you could hardly tell!) We have no bought any "normal" diapers since we got our first cloth diapers in, woohoo!
