HOW DID TODAY GET SO CRAZY??

HOW DID TODAY GET SO CRAZY?
Ok, do some of you feel like you are so busy that your head is spinning? That is a typical day here in the Bradshaw house, but as I type this I am amazed that I actually have everything done and have nothing to do. Yes, I said it out loud, NOTHING TO DO, but it took some work to get here today.
This crazy day consist of the girls getting up at 7 am (our usual time on non-school days), breakfast, bath for all of us. We usually do this at night on Tuesday and Saturday but we really need it today since Claire Beth is a master at collecting food in her hair. I usually wash my hair at night and just curl it in the mornings, but last night was a late night at the Restaurant (thank you God). After baths we dressed, packed juice and a snack and out the door we headed to drop Olivia Grace off to spend time with ReRe.
Then it was off to the Veranda to see BeBe. While there we also got in our weekly visit with Ms. Kim (we love you Ms. Kim). I then went to the grocery to get items to bake a cake for the Stone Leaf . The twins ate lunch that John Tyler and Andrew prepared(don't judge, it was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and FRUIT). We loaded back up in the car to head home for a nap.
Mind you it is now 12:00. So home for the twins to take a nap and I am busy baking a cake for the Restaurant.
Finished the cake, iced it, loaded it in the car along with the girls to drop off the cake to John Tyler and some clothes to my cousin Amie's house.
Then we headed to Wilmington to hit Target and Sam's
only to arrive back home at 5:10pm and start dinner.
This is when the day finally slowed down and I was able to play outside for a little while and enjoy this beautiful weather and steal a few precious moments with my "sweeties". We were able to eat dinner together before I had to wash up the dishes from dinner. I also got to read some books to them, put on a load of clothes, fold clothes, straighten up Olivia Grace's room due to "twin damage" clean the toilet since Claire Beth helped herself off without wiping.....thanks girlfriend....... vacuum the hallway and spot mop then kitchen floor.
We read our bedtime books, took our vitamins, fluoride drops, brushed our teeth, prepared our beds for the night, which takes a while since they have to decide which books to put in and they always want the one that the other on just picked up. It is MONKEY SEE MONKEY DO around here. So finally it's lights out for the twins. All this accomplished by 7:o7pm.
SSHHEEWWWWW
I think I deserve a few minutes to myself tonight so I am now off to put another load in the dryer, wash my face, brush my teeth, plug in my cell phone, check in on the girls, cover them up, put on my pj's and GO TO BED.
Tomorrow holds an Easter egg hunt...I can only imagine how exciting that will be.
I can't believe that I actually got some quality moments with them out of this CRAZY day.
