Stay-At-Home Mom!

That may get your attention, coming from this blog.

It was just for a day and just with one kid.

Addie's school is closed two days this week and I decided to fully try out the stay-at-home mom thing and not think about work and try not to allow the TV to be turned on. After a early morning trip to HEB together, we were off to plant our fall garden. Squash, peas, spinach and lettuce.

 It was time to come in and do something I never really remember doing before... bake a cake 100% from scratch. Whom better to do that with but Miss Addie.

 We decided to celebrate the end of summer time by making Cooking Light's Lemonade Layer Cake!

 The two of together are a mess taking turns licking anything we can find!

After a dance party, some books, it was time for a short nap (these have to be SAHM's saving grace and allowed me to check 10 minutes of email and start a load of wash) before heading to dance class. We had to get home though for craft time, all before dinner.

We decided to make some Christmas ornaments of Addie's individual tree in her room.

We had so much fun but I know I crammed a ton into this one day and this schedule of events would be very un-realistic on a daily basis, but yet again, my respect and complete "ahhhh" goes out to all the stay-at-home mom's out there I know. Hands down, it's the toughest job around. I definitely learned, personally, that I wouldn't get as much done during a typical day, hardly ANY email or phone calls would be returned, I would take a lot less showers and go through a ton less makeup each year, my house would be a million times messier and I'm sure I would loose my patience a ton more. You gals are my heroes!!!

SO TUESDAY, it's Stay At Home Daddy Day!!! I wonder what they will do?!?!?
