This week’s bonus challenge for my Catch the Moment 365 project was to capture “a day in the life.” I should probably do a work day, but that’d probably be even MORE boring than a typical weekend day in our lives. It was kind of easy to do the challenge today since we didn’t go anywhere due to the 8 inches of snow that got dumped on us overnight. BOO!
I did this challenge a year ago (HERE) and enjoyed looking back at it. Dexter especially looks so little!
MORNING.
Breakfast…breakfast…what should (can) I fix for breakfast?
Coffee & crayons while waiting for breakfast.
Blueberry biscuits and chicken sausage.
Coloring…drawing…writing…always.
Fresh out of the bathtub with some suave looking hair.
“Dexter, show me your blue eyes.”
Lord Business. Legos…always Legos. 
Folding laundry and running the vacuum.
Decorated a little bit for Easter/springtime.
Found something else to get us in a less snowy state of mind.
Dexter helped get the cookies ready to bake while I worked on chili for lunch.
Can’t forget the cheese and crackers.
Aftermath.
AFTERNOON.
Obsessed with letters and numbers.
More laundry…more folding and putting away.
Decorating some more for Easter with window decals.
Time for a little fitness. Ryan and I busted out some Jillian Michaels moves.
And the boys “watched a show” (jumped, wrestled, yelled, fought, laughed, etc) in our room while we did our 20 minute workout.
Random tortilla snack. 
And back to coloring.
EVENING.
Sigh…so much snow. 8″ I think?
Dinner preppin’.
Dinner eatin’. Cubed steak & gravy, cheesy spirals, and asparagus. Mmm.
After dinner jammies and iPad time. More laundry.
More games, more laundry.
Lite Brite before bed. 
And that takes us to about 8pm, which is when I started working on this post…don’t worry, you’re not going to miss much. I’m just gonna lay on the couch and watch TV for an hour or two then hit the hay.
This was fun to put together! I know I’ll appreciate seeing the small moments when I look back on this a year from now. Hope you enjoyed your day – and mine!

I love this idea.I just got a new camera and it’s like all of the photo inspiration disappeared suddenly. I’m definitely going to do this.
You have such a cute family! I’d love to take a day off to come hang out.

[…] I’m glad I was able to fill in some missing posts with throwback pictures. I think I’ll do that when it’s necessary, but I won’t make it a habit. You might see a bit more for the next week or so because I was sick, but I took dozens of pictures tonight and I am committing to doing so every day going forward, especially after seeing “A Day in the Life” post from a fellow Catch the Moment 365 participant, Mommy in the Mi….
